Basic Scanner Operation
Before activating the scanner, make sure that the Squelch is set to silence the back-
ground noise when no signal is present. Scanning is not possible while the Squelch is
open (if noise or signals are being heard).
Scanning may be started or stopped using the micro-
phone [
UP
] or [
DWN
] button.
The following techniques are used for scanning:
r
in the
VFO mode
, press and hold either the [
UP
]
or [
DWN
] button for one second, to start upward or
downward scanning of the band.
r
In the
Memory mode
, press and hold either the
[
UP
] or [
DWN
] button for one second to start chan-
nel scanning toward a higher or lower-numbered
memory channel, respectively.
