Pressing the SCAN/MEM key while scanning will stop scanning and revert to the Start Channel. This is defined as the channel which was shown on the radio’s display prior to pressing the SCAN/MEM key.

You cannot scan channels while in Weather Mode.

If you have not entered any channels into scan memory, the radio will sound the error tome when the SCAN/MEM key is pressed.

If there is only one channel in scan memory, the radio will sound the error tone and change to that channel.

If the PTT key is pressed while in Scanning Mode and while the radio is stopped to receive traffic, the radio will transmit on the current channel before continuing to scan.

If the PTT key is pressed while scan- ning and the radio is not stopped for traffic, the radio will transmit on the Start Channel.

The SCAN indicator will blink when the radio is either receiving or paus- ing before continuing to scan
