for ten (10) seconds.

scanning channels.

If you press the Talk button while scanning and not within ten 
(10) seconds of 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 ten (10) seconds, your radio 
will automatically resume scanning channels. 
During Channel Scan (while not receiving a transmission), 
You Can Choose From The Following:

or channel/privacy code that was displayed before you entered

the channel that was either displayed before you entered mode
functions or on which, during channel scanning, you last 
received a transmission (see page 10 for further details).
