is present.

the selected groups.

FM-Scan (Follow-Me Scan) feature checks a User-assigned Priority Channel regu-
larly as you scan the other channels. Thus, if only Channels 1, 3, and 5 (of the 8
available channels) are designated for “Scanning,” the user may nonetheless assign
Channel 2 as the “User-assigned” Priority Channel via the FM-Scan (Follow-Me
Scan).
To activate the FM-Scan (Follow-Me Scan), first select the channel you want to
designate as the “User-Assigned Priority Channel” and press (or press and hold) the
assigned programmable key. Then press (or press and hold) the Channel Up/Down
key (generally the [
]/[
] key) to recall to the “Scanning Start” channel which has
been programmed by your dealer to activate the scanner. When the scanner stops on
an “Active” channel, the User-assigned Priority Channel will automatically be
checked every few seconds; if activity is found on the User-assigned Priority Chan-
nel, the radio will switch between it and the Dealer-Assigned Priority Channel, if
any.
