The Scanning feature is used to monitor multiple
channels programmed into the transceiver. While
scanning, the transceiver will check each channel of
the programmed group for the presence of the sig-
nal, and will stop on a channel if a signal is present.
Press (or press and hold) the assigned programmable
key to activate the scanning on the selected groups.

The Dual Watch feature is similar to the SCAN fea-
ture, except that only two channels are monitored:
The current operating channel; and
The Priority channel.
To activate Dual Watch:
Press (or press and hold) the assigned Program-
mable key.
The scanner will search the two channels; it will
pause each time it finds a channel on which some-
one is speaking.
To stop Dual Watch:
Press (or press and hold) the assigned Program-
mable key.
Operation will revert to the “Dual Watch Revert”
channel.

The FM Scan feature checks a User-assigned Prior-
ity Channel regularly as you scan 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 “Follow-Me” feature.
To activate FM Scan, first select the channel you want
to designate as the “User-Assigned Priority Chan-
nel” and press (or press and hold) the assigned pro-
grammable key. Then rotate the
CH
Selector knob 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 Channel, the radio will
switch between it and the Dealer-Assigned Priority
Channel, if any.
