Call Ringer Selection Mode

The transceiver provides a transmit call ring melody at the receiving unit to alert you to an incoming call.

To activate the call ringer melody:

-From GMRS/FRS standby mode, press the PTT button twice in quick succession; a call ring melody will sound at the receiving unit to alert the user to an incoming transmission, provided that unit is equipped with this capability and is set to the same channel.

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 (1-22) in ascending order to find an active main 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.
