Using Memory Channel Saving Channels in Memory You can save channels you tune into the radio's memory. This makes it easy to quickly tune the channels again. To save a channel, tune the channel then press MEM/UIC to save it. MEM appears. To delete a channel from memory, tune the channel then press MEM/UIC. MEM disappears. Notes: • You cannot save a memory channel in WX mode. • You must store more than one channel in the memory for memory channel scan to work. Scanning Memory Channels You can scan channels you saved in the radio's memory. This lets you quickly access and tune them. To scan memory channels, hold down STEP/SCAN for about 2 seconds. SCANNING appears. If the radio detects a transmission on a scanned channel, the channel number blinks. The radio waits for 3 seconds after the transmission ends then resumes scanning. To stop scanning, hold down STEP/SCAN for about 2 seconds or press PTT. Notes: • Rotating PUSH/SELECT clockwise resumes scanning if the radio stopped on a transmission. • Pressing DISTRESS also stops the radio from scanning. Using Triple Watch Triple Watch scans Channel 9 and Channel 16 every 2 seconds. If the radio detects a transmission on Channel 9 or Channel 16 while set to Triple Watch, the channel indicator blinks. Hold down 16/9 TRI for about 2 seconds to turn Triple Watch on or off. If Triple Watch is off, TRI appears and Triple Watch is turned on. If Triple Watch is on, TRI disappears and Triple Watch is turned off. Notes: • If Channel 9 is busy, the radio scans Coast Guard/Distress/Hailing Channel 9 and Coast Guard/Distress/Hailing Channel 16 in turn. • If you turn on Triple Watch and Channel 16 is busy, the radio receives Coast Guard/ Distress/Hailing Channel 16. • If you turn on Triple Watch while the radio is set to Coast Guard/Distress/Hailing mode, the radio scans primary Coast Guard/Distress/Hailing Channel 16, secondary Coast Guard/Distress/Hailing Channel 9, and the last marine channel (Channel 16 or Channel 9). • If you turn on Triple Watch while the radio is set to WX mode, the radio scans primary Coast Guard/Distress/Hailing Channel 16, secondary Coast Guard/Distress/Hailing Channel 9, and the WX channel. • Triple Watch resumes if the signal of the channel you tuned is lost for 3 seconds. • If the radio is scanning Coast Guard/Distress/Hailing Channel 9 or 16, the CH indicator changes but the channel tag display does not change.
