Description of Operating Functions
Channel Scan
The Scanning feature is used to monitor multiple
signals programmed into the transceiver. While
scanning, the transceiver will check each channel
for the presence of a signal, and will stop on a chan-
nel if a signal is present.
One key or switch may be assigned to the
Scan
function, as follows:
r
One of the
Soft
keys may be assigned for
Scan
operation; or
r
The
Toggle
switch may have one position as-
signed to the
Scan
function.
To activate scanning:
l

Soft
key, or set the

switch to the assigned position.

active ones; it will pause each time it finds a chan-
nel on which someone is speaking.

Soft
key, or set the

switch to a different position.
