Operation
Scan
The radio has a scanning function for tagged channels. Any available channel,
including weather and private channels, can be tagged and added to the
scanning sequence. As default the radio scans with priority scanning of
channel 16. If a signal is received while in any scanning mode, only channel 16
continues to be watched.
If there is a signal in one of the scanned channels, the display shows the
channel in which the signal is received. Pressing PTT while a signal is received
stops scanning and the radio is tuned into the displayed channel.
Using SCAN
1. To start scanning press the soft key
SCAN
. The SCAN menu is shown. Press

SCAN
press

3. To tag a channel in order to include it in the
scanning sequence, turn the selector wheel
knob until the wanted channel is in the display.
Then press the soft key

at the right side of the display.

When scanning is activated the working channel is displayed in a different
format (open, outline typeface). This indicates the radio is not tuned into the
displayed channel. The displayed working channel is temporarily included in
the scanning list (although no TAG icon is shown).
If PTT is pressed while scanning, the scanning is stopped and transmission
starts immediately on the displayed working channel.
