Channel Scanning

When active, the SCAN icon flashes. In this mode, the channels of other transmitting radios can be monitored. When the radio detects channel activity, it stops scanning and locks in on the active channel, thereby allowing you to listen and talk back (using the PTT button) to the person(s) on the transmitting end without having to switch channels. If the scan function is not active when the radio is turned on, proceed as follows:

1.After the radio is turned on, press the SCAN button; the SCAN icon will appear flashing on the display, indicating that channel scanning is in progress.

2.When the radio detects channel activity, it will park at the active channel, the SCAN icon will become steady, and the display will also indicate the active channel number.

3.When channel activity ceases, the radio will begin to scan again after 5 seconds, and the previously selected channel number will be displayed.

4.During the scan mode, pressing the MONITOR ON/OFF button will halt scanning temporarily. Both the channel number and the SCAN indication will light steadily, and the radio will stay at the current channel. Pressing the MONITOR ON/OFF button again will resume scanning.

5.To deactivate the scan function, press the SCAN button; the radio will return to the normal operating mode, and the previously selected channel will be displayed.
