Responding to a Transmission During a
Scan
During scanning, your radio stops on a channel/
group where activity is detected. The radio stays on
that channel for a programmed time period known
as “hang time”.
Procedure :
1 Hold the radio vertically 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.0
cm) from your mouth.
If the Channel Free Indication feature is en-
abled, you will hear a short alert tone the mo-
ment the transmitting radio releases the PTT
button, indicating the channel is free for you to
respond.
2 Press the PTT button during hang time. The
LED lights up solid green.
3 Wait for the Talk Permit Tone to finish (if en-
abled) and speak clearly into the microphone.
OR
Wait for the PTT Sidetone to finish (if en-
abled) and speak clearly into the microphone.
4 Release the PTT button to listen.
5 If you do not respond within the hang time,
the radio returns to scanning other channels/
groups.

Deleting a Nuisance Channel
If a channel continually generates unwanted calls
or noise (termed a “nuisance” channel), you can
temporarily remove the unwanted channel from the
scan list.
This capability does not apply to the channel
designated as the Selected Channel.
Procedure :
1 When your radio “locks on to” an unwanted or
nuisance channel, press the programmed Nui-
sance Channel Delete button until you hear a
tone.
2 Release the Nuisance Channel Delete button.
The nuisance channel is deleted.
Deleting a “nuisance” channel is only possible
through the programmed Nuisance Channel
Delete button. This feature is not accessible
through the menu.
