Channel Scan Operation
This feature allows you to monitor all channels automatically for valid
signals. While scanning, you can transmit and receive. When a signal is
received, the scan is interrupted and will return to scan mode 5 seconds
after reception is terminated.
NOTE:
While the scan function is active, the MODE/SCANNER button
will be inoperative. The scan mode will reduce the overall
battery life since the battery save function is overridden.

- From GMRS/FRS standby mode, momentarily press the (
S

(

- The radio will display each channel (1-22) in ascending order as the
scan mode operates to find an active main channel.
- If the unit doesn’t find any signals and you want to transmit, press
the PTT button to return to home channel operation. The transceiver
will automatically resume scanning approximately 5 seconds after
the communication is completed.
- If there is no activity and you want to leave the scan mode, press the
S button momentarily and the unit will return to normal operation;
the
SCAN
icon will disappear from the LCD display.
