Memory Location Scan

Your microTALK radio can automatically scan up to 
10 programmed 

Memory Locations

.

If there are one or fewer memory locations 
programmed in your radio, the scan memory 
locations option will not be available. To program 
at least two memory locations, see program 
memory locations on page 13.

To scan memory locations:
1.

Press the 

Mode

button until the 

Scan

icon,

Memory

icon and the memory location

number flash on the display.

2.

Press the 

Channel Up

or

button to begin scanning memory locations.

The 

Scan

icon and the 

Memory

icon will

continue to be displayed when memory 
location scan is 

on

. Your radio will continue 

to scan memory locations and stop if an
incoming transmission is detected. Your 
radio will remain on that memory location 
for 10 seconds.

While setting memory location scan, if you 
do not press any buttons for 15 seconds, 
your radio will automatically return to 

Standby 

mode on the channel/privacy code

displayed before you entered mode functions.

that channel/privacy code and return to

button to 

resume scanning privacy codes.

If you press the 

Talk

button while scanning, but more than 

10 seconds after receiving a transmission, you will transmit 
on the channel/privacy code on which you last received a
transmission. This will then return the radio to 

Standby 

mode.

If you do not press any button within 10 seconds, your 
radio will automatically resume scanning privacy codes. 

During privacy code scan (while not receiving a transmission), 
you can choose from the following:

a.

Press and hold the 

Talk

the channel/privacy code that was displayed before you
entered mode functions or the channel/privacy code on 
which, during scanning, you last received a transmission. 
This will return the radio to 

Standby 

mode.

b.

Press the 

Mode

button to proceed to set memory location

scan (see page 21 for further details).

c.
