Mode Functions

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 12.

To scan memory locations:

1.

Press the 

Mode/Lock

button until the 

Scan

icon, 

Memory

icon and the memory location

number flash on the display.

2.

Press the 

Channel Up

or 

Channel Down

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.

During memory location scan (while receiving an Incoming
transmission), you can choose from the following:

a.

Press and hold the 

Talk

button to communicate on that

memory location. Your radio will remain on that memory
location and after 10 seconds of no activity, radio will start
memory location scan again.

b.

Press the 

Channel Up

or 

Channel Down

button to resume

scanning memory locations.

If you press the 

Talk

button while scanning, but more than 

10 seconds after 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 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. 

b.

Press the 

Mode/Lock

button to proceed to other functions.

c.

Press the 

Enter/Hi•Low

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 14
to de-program a memory location.)
