Channel Scan Operation
This feature allows you to monitor all channels automatically for valid signals. While scanning, you can transmit and receive. When a signal is received, the scan is interrupted and will return to scan mode approxi- mately 5 seconds after reception is terminated.
NOTE: While the SCAN mode is active, the MODE button is inopera- tive. In addition, the scan mode will reduce the overall battery life since the battery save function is overridden.
To enable the channel scan mode:
-From GMRS/FRS standby mode, momentarily press the Power On/Off Button; SCAN will appear on the LCD display.
-The radio will automatically display each channel
-When the unit doesn’t find any signals and you want to transmit, press the PTT Button to return to primary channel operation. The transceiver will automatically resume scanning approximately 15 seconds after the communication is completed.
-If there is no activity and you want to leave the scan mode, press the Power On/Off button momentarily and the unit will return to normal op eration; the SCAN icon will disappear from the LCD display.
