operation may be activated as described below to automatically
monitor a number of channels.
Channel Scan
In the scan mode, the radio alternately monitors each channel until it
receives a call. You can scan all channels in the programmed scan list,
or you can modify the scan list by locking out individual channels
from being scanned.
1. Press the SC key to begin scanning. The LCD SC indicator begins
to flash.
2. The radio stops on any channel that receives a call, the LCD SC
indicator is displayed continuously and you hear the caller. When
the transmission stops, the radio resumes scanning after a brief
delay.
3. To disable scanning, press SC again.
Priority Scan
If your radio has been programmed for Priority Channel operation, the
radio will sample the Priority Channel between any other receiving
channel during Scan Mode. This is usually the channel you use for

channel and press L/O again.
Drop Out Delay
While scanning, the radio stops at a busy channel and receives a

a short delay.

particular channel during the scan function.
