FOLLOW-ME SCAN
“Follow-Me” Scan feature checks a User-assigned Priority Channel regularly as
you scan the other channels. Thus, if only Channels 1, 3, and 5 (of the 8 available
channels) are designated for “Scanning,” the user may nonetheless assign Channel 2
as the “User-assigned” Priority Channel via the “Follow-Me” feature.
To activate “Follow-Me” scanning, first select the channel you want to designate as
the “User-Assigned Priority Channel” and press (or press and hold)the assigned
programmable key. Then press (or press and hold) the Channel Up/Down key (gen-
erally the
[

button) to recall to the “Scanning Start” channel which has been
programmed by your dealer to activate the scanner. When the scanner stops on an
“Active” channel, the User-assigned Priority Channel will automatically be checked
every few seconds; if activity is found on the User-assigned Priority Channel, the
radio will switch between it and the Dealer-Assigned Priority Channel, if any.
FOLLOW-ME DUAL WATCH
(

)
To set up a “Dual Watch” frequency pair using the “Follow-Me” feature, select a
channel using the Channel Up/Down key (generally the

button). Now press
(or press and hold) the assigned programmable key; pressing the assigned program-
mable key locks the current channel as the User-assigned Priority Channel. Now
press (or press and hold) the Channel Up/Down key to select another channel (not
the “Scanning Start” channel). Your radio will now switch back-and-forth between
the currently-selected channel and the User-assigned Priority Channel.
During “Follow-Me” scanning (after you have pressed the key), you can set up the
“Dual Watch” feature by pressing (or press and holding) the Channel Up/Down key
to another channel. The radio will then scan back and forth between the original
User-assigned Priority Channel and the newly-selected channel.
The Priority Channel you have assigned (before pressing the key) will be retained in
memory until you change it.

ter to the “Low Power” mode. Press (or press and hold) the key again to return to
“High Power” operation when in difficult terrain.
