Mode Functions

If you press the Talk button while scanning and not within ten (10)
seconds of receiving a transmission, you will transmit on the
memory location on which, during scanning, you last received 
a transmission. This will return the radio to Standby mode.
If you do not press any button within ten (10) seconds, your radio
will automatically resume scanning memory locations. 
During Memory Location Scan (while not receiving a
transmission), You Can Choose From The Following:

a. Press and hold the Talk button to communicate on the

channel/privacy code that was displayed before you entered
mode functions or memory location 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 other functions.
c. Press the Lock button to return to Standby mode on the

channel/privacy code that was displayed before you entered
mode functions or the memory location on which, during
scanning, you last received a transmission.

To reduce the number of memory locations being scanned, 
you may de-program any unwanted locations. (See page 13 
to de-program a memory location.)
