4.Press the [↓ ] key to choose CH Dwell Time. Enter channel dwell time in seconds. Dwell time is the time in seconds the receiver waits on each channel in a scan group before it selects the next frequency.

5.Press the [↓ ] key to choose Mode, and then choose the communication mode; AUTO, ARQ or FEC.

6.Press the [↓ ] key to choose Auto Search. Choose Auto Search to ON or OFF.

Auto Search ON: The radio stops scanning when it finds the strongest signal (highest S/N ratio). To find the strongest signal, the radio scans all channels, which may take some time. Therefore, use this setting where signal propagation is poor.

Auto Search OFF: The radio stops scanning on the first signal it finds. We recommend that you set Auto Search to OFF when signal propagation is good.
