Scan

icon will continue to be displayed 

when scan is 

on

. Your radio will continue to 

scan all channels and stop if an incoming
transmission is detected. Your radio will 
remain on that channel for 10 seconds. 

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

Standby 

mode on 

the channel or channel/privacy code displayed
before you entered mode functions.

During channel scan (while receiving an incoming
transmission), you can choose from the following:

a.

Press and hold the

button to

communicate on that channel. Your radio
will remain on that channel and return 
to 

Standby 

mode.

b.

Press the 

Channel Up

or 

Channel Down

button to resume scanning channels.

If you press the 

Talk

button while scanning, 

but more than 10 seconds after receiving a
transmission, you will transmit on the channel
on which you last received a transmission. 
This will return the radio to 

Standby

mode.

If you do not press any button within 
10 seconds after receiving a scanned
transmission, your radio will automatically 
resume scanning channels.
