Abstract
A method for operating a radio communication device in a multi-watch mode is provided. The radio communication device receives communications on a primary channel and at least one non-primary channel. Further, a talk-back channel is enabled to respond to communications received on the primary channel. The radio communication device determines whether there is any transmission activity in response to a communication received on the non-primary channel. The radio communication device further determines whether the communication received on the non-primary channel comprises critical information when there is no transmission activity for a pre-defined time period since the communication was received on the non-primary channel. When the radio communication device determines that the communication received on the primary channel comprises critical information, the radio communication device switches to the talk-back channel to respond to communications received on the non-primary channel.
