Scan
Scan allows you to monitor multiple channels and receive calls that are transmitted on them. Two types of scan are supported: Normal
Scan and Priority Scan.
Normal Scan searches all channels sequentially in the radio’s scan list, whereas Priority Scan allocates 50% of the scanning time to the
Priority Channel (the first channel in the designated scan list).

During scan, when activity is detected that meets the unsquelch condition, the radio stops scanning and switches to that channel; the
G indicator is illuminated, and the channel number is displayed. When no activity is detected for a pre-set time, the radio resumes
scanning.
If your radio has switched to a non-priority channel during priority scan, it still checks for activity on the priority channel. If activity is
detected there, the radio switches to the priority channel.
The radio transmits on the Prime Channel, if PTT is pressed during scanning. If the radio has stopped scanning, and changed to a
particular channel, all transmit and receive activity is performed on that channel.
• Press the Scan button to begin channel scanning. The G indicator blinks to indicate that the radio is scanning. The LCD Screen
shows the Prime Channel where the scan began.
• Press the
button to scan the channels in incremental order, and thebutton to scan in the opposite order.
• Press Scan button to stop scanning.
Deleting a Nuisance Scan Channel
A channel with unwanted activity is called a Nuisance Channel. You can remove a Nuisance Channel from the scan list temporarily. To
remove a Nuisance Channel
• Press the Nuisance Channel Delete button, when your radio stops on a Nuisance Channel. A high-pitched tone is heard.
You cannot remove the Prime or Priority Channel from the scan list. If attempted, a low-pitched tone is heard, and no action is taken.
To reinstate the deleted channel(s) into the scan list, restart scan, or simply turn off your radio and turn it on again.
