PRIORITY CHANNEL SCAN MODE
This feature allows you to monitor two different channels at the same time. If you preset
any priority channel other than the current channel in use, the preset channel will be
scanned every 0.5 second and signals you when a call is received. The priority channel
will be the one selected during the SET UP mode, and the other channel will be the one
selected from the TWO WAY menu. While in the Priority Channel Scan mode, you may
hear transmissions from either a primary or secondary channel when transmitting. The
unit will always transmit on the primary channel unless the PTT button (14) is pressed
during or immediately following the reception of secondary channel transmission. To
access the Priority Channel Scan mode proceed as follows:
1.

(forward) menu scroll button (10) three times; SCAN will appear on the LCD
display (5) with OFF flashing (if scan was not active before).

Press the Monitor button (14) to confirm your selection.
NOTE: The unit will scan between the normal channel selected from the TWO
WAY menu and the priority channel chosen during the SET UP mode.

To turn off the Priority channel scan feature, return to the Scan mode by pressing
the forward menu scroll button to access the SCAN function and choose OFF.
