Page 23

1.2.8 Qui ck selection of CH16

Press the CH16 key to select CH16, the International Calling and Safety

Channel. The use is limited to distress, safety and calling. The transmission on CH16 (156.800 MHz) should be limited to within 1 minute except for distress calling.

Avoid calling on CH16 for purposes other than distress, urgency and very brief safety communications when another calling channel is available.

1.2.9 Dual watch

The dual watch function permits watch on CH16 and another selected channel. CH16 and another channel are watched at intervals of 0.15 seconds and one second, respectively.

To start dual watch, first select the other frequency to watch and then press the

SHIFT key and 9 DW key in that order. When the receiver finds a signal on

CH16, it locks on it and restarts dual watching after the signal on CH16 has gone. If another channel has traffic, it still continues dual watch. The speech is heard intermittently. If you are annoyed with the intermittence, turn off the dual watch

by pressing the PTT switch on the handset or pressing the SHIFT and 9 DW key

again.

1.2.10 Scanning

1.4 Priority

If one or more remote stations are installed, the transceiver unit (main unit) has the highest priority. You can interrupt remote station operation at any time with the handset of the main unit. When you hook off the handset of the main unit, “OCCUPIED FM8800” (default. This may be change. See section 5.3) is indicated on all remote stations.

Each remote station has its own priority. The remote station ID (1-4) indicates its priority. The priority of the system is as follows.

DSC of main unit > Wing handset > Handset of main unit > 1 > 2 > 3 > 4

If you hook off No.4 remote station, for example, “Occupied Handset.4” is displayed on other remote stations. However, you can hook off and use No.1 handset.

How to set pri o rity of the remot e station

1. Disconnect the plug of a remote station to turn off the remote station.

2. While pressing the MENU key of a remote station, connect the plug to turn

on the power.
