SCAN FUNCTION

The scan function allows you to search a pre-programmed group
of channels for signals.

Push the [Scan] switch to start/stop scan.
• Scan pauses on a channel when receiving a signal.
• “Lockout SCAN” (pre-programmed list SCAN) or “Priority SCAN”

can be pre-programmed.

• When  the  “Power-save function” is activated, the transceiver

checks all pre-programmed channels then returns to the “Power-
save function” again.

MONITOR AUDIBLE FUNCTION

The monitor function allows you to open the transceiver’s squelch
manually to check whether a channel is busy or not. The trans-
ceiver has 2 conditions for receive standby:

Audible condition:
This condition mutes audio ONLY when
no carrier is present. You can receive (or
monitor) any signals on a channel.
• Push and hold the [Moni], switch to se-

lect the audible condition.

Any audio mute functions are cancelled
while pushing the [Moni] switch.

Inaudible condition:
This condition mutes ALL signals except
those directed to you. Therefore you
should check a channel’s condition (busy
or not) with the monitor function before
transmitting.
• Push the [Moni] switch momentarily to
select the inaudible condition.

TALK AROUND

The talk around function changes duplex channels to simplex chan-
nels.

• Duplex allows you to contact your base station, repeaters, etc.
• Simplex allows you to contact other portable transceivers directly

(portable-to-portable contact).

Push the [Talk Around] switch one or more times to toggle the  func-
tion ON and OFF.

All signals are
received

Only signals con-
taining the proper 
tone are received
