PRIORITY CHANNEL

A scan list may contain a priority channel. This means that a particular channel (for example, a commonly used channel) may be checked more frequently than other channels in the list during a scan operation. Priority channels are programmed into your radio scan lists by your dealer, however when a priority channel is included in a scan list, the scan icon changes from Gto H.

TALKBACK

If the programmable Talkback option is set, you can respond to any calls received during the scan operation by pressing the PTT button before the programmed hang-time ends. Check with your dealer for details.
