Radio Features
Scan
Scan allows you to monitor multiple channels and receive calls that are transmitted on them. Two
types of scan are supported:
Normal Scan and Priority Scan .
Normal Scan searches all channels sequentially in the radio’s scan list, whereas Priority Scan
allocates 50% of the scanning time to the Priority Channel (the first channel in the designated scan
list).
During scan, when activity is detected that meets the unsquelch condition, the radio stops scanning
and switches to that channel; the indicator is illuminated, and the channel number is displayed.
When no activity is detected for a pre-set time, the radio resumes scanning.
If your radio has switched to a non-priority channel during priority scan, it still checks for activity on
the priority channel. If activity is detected there, the radio switches to the priority channel.
The radio transmits on the Home Channel, if PTT is pressed during scanning. If the radio has
stopped scanning, and changed to a particular channel, all transmit and receive activity is performed
on that channel.
• Press the Scan button to begin channel scanning. The
H
indicator blinks to indicate that the
radio is scanning. The display shows the Home Channel where the scan began.
• Press the + button to scan the channels in incremental order, and the - button to scan in the
opposite order.
• Press the Scan button to stop scanning.
Deleting a Nuisance Scan Channel
A channel with unwanted activity is called a Nuisance Channel. You can remove a Nuisance
Channel from the scan list temporarily. To remove a Nuisance Channel, press the
Nuisance Channel
Delete button when your radio stops on a Nuisance Channel. You will hear a high-pitched tone.
You cannot remove the Home or Priority Channel from the scan list. If you try to, you will hear a low-
pitched tone.
To reinstate the deleted channel(s) into the scan list, restart scan, or simply turn off your radio and
turn it on again.
