the priority scanning activities.
If a station you wish to talk with appears on the Priority memory, press the
PTT
switch momentarily while receiving their signal (no transmission will occur) to
halt
Priority scanning. Otherwise, when a signal appears on the Priority channel,
Priority monitoring will just pause on that channel, and the decimal on the display
will blink. Priority monitoring will resume based on the setting of the regular
scanning-resume mode - either after a 5-second pause, or after the carrier drops out.

A few other rules govern priority operation:
m
You can not scan operation during priority operation.
m
The priority function is not disabled by switching the transceiver off. If you
were engaged in priority monitoring at the moment you turned the radio off,
it will
assume
that you will want to continue priority monitoring during your
next operating session, and will come up still in the priority mode when the
transceiver is switched back
on
.
Priority monitoring is also available in the European version, although none of the
“Programmable” keys is set up for Priority monitoring as a default setting. The
function of one of these keys may easily be set up for Priority monitoring; see the
“Programming the Front Panel/Microphone Key Functions” section on page 47
for details.
