stored channels, press and hold

Channel 16 and 9 are no longer checked. The radio contin-
ues to scan only stored memory channels.

played in sequence.
Both Watches and Weather Channel
If both the Weather Alert and the TripleWatch features are
enabled when you press
SCAN/MEM
, the radio starts check-
ing the memory channels in ascending order. Then it checks
channel 9 and 16 every 2-seconds and
fi
nally, it checks the
active weather channel approximately every 7 seconds, look-
ing for the alert tone (1050Hz). The radio then repeats the
cycle. If the radio detects a weather alert tone during the
check cycle, it remains on the weather channel until you dis-
able the weather mode. See the
fl
ow graphic.
Note:
During SCAN mode, if the radio detects a signal, it stops
scanning and remains on the detected channel for 2 sec-
onds after the activity ends before resumption of scanning.
During scanning, you can press
SCAN
,
16/9/TRI
, or
WX/
ALERT
to exit the scanning mode and return directly to the
marine channel display mode.
All channels, except CH70, and the weather channels, can
be stored in memory. When you turn off the radio, all mem-
ory stored channels are retained so that upon turning the
radio on again, they are immediately available.
