SCANNING THE CHANNELS

You can scan both channels of the transceiver to search for a signal. When the transceiver verifies a signal on a channel, it proceeds to check whether or not its QT/ DQT setting matches that which is set up on your transceiver. If the QT/ DQT matches, the transceiver stops at the channel and opens the squelch so you can listen to the call. If the QT/ DQT does not match, the call is ignored and scanning continues.

To begin scanning:

1Press and hold the ▲ key for 1 second.

SCAn appears on the display.

2When a signal is detected and the QT/ DQT matches, the channel number appears on the display and blinks.

3When the signal is no longer present, the transceiver waits for 5 seconds before scanning continues.

If a new signal appears before the 5 seconds elapse, the transceiver will remain on the channel until the signal is no longer present again, at which time it will again wait for

5 seconds before continuing.

4To end the scan at any time, press and hold the ▲ key for 1 second.

The transceiver returns to the channel you were using before you started scanning.
