SCAN

You can monitor multiple channels and receive any calls that are transmitted on them. Depending on your radio model, either four or sixteen different channels can be programmed into each scan list by the dealer. Your radio will automatically switch to a scan list channel when it detects activity on it.

Note: The same channels can be assigned to different scan lists.

Note: Even if there is activity on a non-priority channel, your radio will automatically switch to an active priority channel, and indicate the activity with a short tone.

STARTING OR STOPPING SCAN

The LED indicator blinks green during a scan operation, and stops blinking when the radio switches to a channel.

To start or stop a scanning, press the preprogrammed Scan button (see page 6).

Scanning a Priority Channel

You may want to check the activity on one channel more frequently than others. Your dealer is able to prioritize channels for you. For example:

TALKBACK

While your radio is scanning, Talkback allows you to participate in a call in progress. You must press the PTT button to participate in the call; otherwise, scanning continues to the next channel.
