Using the radio in Scan mode

To activate Scan mode, press SCAN/DUAL.

You must have at least two channels in memory to start a scan. However, you cannot save marine channel 70 or Weather channels.

You cannot transmit while in Scan mode.

To save a channel into memory, select the channel, then press MEM/SOS. The MEM icon displays whenever you tune to that channel.

To remove a channel from memory, set the radio to that channel, then press MEM/SOS. The MEM icon no longer displays.

When the radio stays on a channel, press Channel Up to leave that channel and resume scanning.

To end the scan, press the SCAN/DUAL button again; the radio remains on the last scanned channel.
