7.6 Dual Watch mode
Dual Watch mode allows the radio to scan between the select-
ed working channel and the watch channel (the priority chan-
nel, usually 16).
To enter Dual Watch, select the required working channel, then
press S
HIFT and 3 (DW). If Dual Watch is selected while the
handset is off the cradle, the display will show “PLACE BACK
ON CRADLE”. Dual Watch will automatically commence, if
the handset is replaced within 10 seconds.
The display now shows “D/W” – the large digits on the dis-
play will indicate the working channel, with the watch channel
shown below in small digits (Fig 7.5).

Watch mode. To exit Dual Watch press 16, or O
