OPERATION MANUAL

While the emergency function is active, a long press of the Keypad Lock/Emergency Reset key will cancel the emergency mode.

3.2.10 Scan key

A short press of this key turns on selectable priority scan. Selectable priority scan assigns the selected channel as the high priority channel. A second, lower priority channel may be assigned in radio programming. All channels in the selected zone’s scan list will be scanned. If PTT is pressed while scanning, the radio will transmit on the high priority channel. If PTT is pressed while scan is paused on a channel the radio will transmit on the pause channel. If MENU is pressed scan is canceled. While scan is on, a short press of the Scan key cancels scan.

The Scan key is also used as a clear (long press) or backspace (short press) key during alpha-numeric keypad entry.
