IMPORTANT:
Channels 1 – 8, 31 – 38, 41 – 48 and
71 – 78 should only be used in Simplex mode if there are
no repeaters in or near your location that operate on the
selected channel. In particular, avoid operating in Simplex
mode on any of the repeater input channels 31 – 38 and
71 – 78 unless you are absolutely sure that there are
no repeaters in range using that channel. Inadvertently
transmitting on an active repeater input frequency in simplex
mode could cause interference to other users on that repeater
that would not be audible to your radio.

SCANNING
Your radio incorporates a scan function allowing selected
groups of channels to be scanned for signals. Channels
can be scanned at a rate of 40 channels per second.
When a signal is found, scanning will pause to allow
the signal to be heard then resume scanning when the
channel is clear again.
