Scanning features
• If a signal is received, the scan is paused,
allowing you to transmit and receive on
that channel. The radio will automatically
resume scanning a few seconds after the
last reception or transmission.
• Press the PTT switch while the unit is
scanning to jump to the home channel
(the home channel is the channel the
transceiver was on at the time scanning
was activated). You can then transmit
and receive on that channel. The radio
will automatically resume scanning a
few seconds after the last reception
or transmission.
• When the unit has stopped on a busy
channel, press the or keys to
‘Skip’ over the busy channel and
continue scanning.
tiP: The scan mode will reduce the overall
battery life because the Standby (battery
saver) feature is overridden. You should avoid
scanning if the battery is running low and
you need to conserve power.
