UNIDEN UH5040

UHF CB Transceiver

Operation

Open Scan (OS) Mode

Allows continuous scanning of all selected channels.

If an active channel is found, scanning will stop on that channel.

If the received signal ceases, the unit will wait 3 seconds for the signal to 

return, otherwise scanning resumes.

To skip the active channel, press 

[MEM] 

momentarily. Scanning 

resumes. To deactivate SCAN, press 

[SCAN]

 or the PTT button on the 

microphone.

NOTE

If SCAN is deactivated while on an active channel, the 

UH5040 will stay on that active channel. If no channels are 

active, the UH5040 will reinstate the starting channel.

NOTE

OS Mode is indicated by the absence of the GS icon.
