Scanning

Use the scan function to do the following:

• Search all channels for transmissions from unknown parties.
• Find someone in your group who has accidentally changed channels or
• To quickly find unused channels for your own use.

There is a priority feature and two modes of scanning (basic and advanced) to make your search more effective.

• The “Basic Scan” mode uses the channel and code combinations for each of the channel as you have set them (or with the default code value of 1).
• The “Advance Scan” mode will scan all channels for any and all codes; detect any code in use and use that code value temporary for that channel.
• Priority is given to the “Home Channel” (i.e. the channel and Sub-Code your radio is set to when you start the scan). This means the initial channel (and code settings) is scanned more often than the other seven channels and your radio will respond quickly to any activity occurr ing on the home channel as a priority.

To start Basic Scanning:

1. Press the Scan/Monitor button briefly. The Scan icon will appear in the display and the radio will begin to scroll through the channel and code combinations.
2. When the radio detects channel activities matching the channel and Sub-Code combination, the radio will stop scrolling and you can hear the transmission.
