Scan
Press the programmed [Scan]
key to initiate scanning ascending through the channel numbers
in scan list. Green LED flashes during the scan process, and solidly glows when activity is
detected on a channel and signalling condition is satisfied. Press the key again to exit scanning.
When scanning is active, the radio continuously scans for activity on scan list members. Once
activity is detected on a channel, scanning pauses on the active channel for you to receive
activity. Your dealer can choose channels that you wish to scan and list them in a scan list.

Assuming a scan list with 6 channels, if all the channels are non-prioritized, the normal scan
operation would check for activity in the following sequence, as figure 1 has shown.
