Scan
Scan allows you to monitor other channels to detect conversations. When the radio detects a transmission, it stops scanning and goes to the active channel. This allows you to listen and talk to people in that channel without having to change channel manually. If there is talking going on Channel 2 during this time, the radio stays on Channel 1 and you will not hear Channel 2. After talking has stopped in Channel 1, the radio waits for 5 seconds before resuming scan again.
•To start scanning, press the SB1 or SB2 button. When the radio detects channel activity, it stops on that channel until activity on that channel ends. You can talk to the person(s) transmitting without having to switch channels by pressing the PTT button.
Note: Scan has to be programmed either to SB1 or SB2 button via CPS. SB2 is by default Scan/Nuisance Channel delete button. If

•If you want to scan a channel without the Interference Eliminator Codes (CTCSS/DPL), set the code settings for the channels to ‘0’ in the CTCSS/DPL Programming Selection Mode.
Note: Whenever the radio is set to Scan, the LED Indicator blinks a Red Heartbeat.
