Additional Channel Scan Instructions
(1) Channel Scan Order
There are two kinds of channel scans: Priority Scan Channel and General Scan Channel. General Scan Channel is a channel that is used to commu­nicate on, but is not an essential communication channel. Priority Scan Channel is a channel that is of more importance and is frequently used to communicate on. If no Priority channel has been assigned, the radio will scan all general channels programmed by starting with the first channel and finishing with the last channel. Once a priority channel has been assigned, the radio will scan two general channels followed by the priority channel. (General Scan Channel 1 - General Scan Channel 2 - Priority Channel 1 ­followed by the next two general channels.) If two Priority Scan Channels are assigned, the radio will scan two general channels then the priority channel 1, followed by the next two general channels, then priority channel 2: (General Scan Channel 1 - General Scan Channel 2 - Priority Channel 1
- Channel 3 - General Scan Channel 4 - Priority Channel 2 - followed by the next two general channels.)
Example
As previously mentioned, there are two kinds of channel scans: Priority Scan Channel and General Scan Channel.
For example, the radio is programmed to receive and transmit on ten channels. Of these channels, two Priority Scan Channels are assigned; Priority Scan Channel 1 is assigned to Channel 5 and Priority Scan Channel 2" is assigned to channel 6. Therefore, the channel scan will occur as follows.
(For additional information, please refer to How to Register Channels for Channel Scan on Page 18.)

priority scan channel 2
priority scan channel 1
priority scan channel 2

7) VOX MODE
This function is for automatic voice operated transmission system similar to "Hands Free". Select the VOX Mode by pressing the "Function" button 7 times. The icon " " will begin flashing. Select On/Off by pressing the Up/Down buttons. Select "ON" and press the PTT button. The display will change to the VOX Level settings. (See Function 8 below.) Once the unit is set for VOX mode, a special EAR/MIC accessory is required for the radio to operate. (The MIC is not functional in VOX Mode.) If no buttons are pressed within 5 sec­onds after selecting functions, the screen will revert to the main display. If general communi­cation using the PTT button is desired, enter the VOX mode function and select the OFF feature.
8) Setting VOX Levels
This function selects the desired sensitivity (9 Levels) to activate the VOX circuit. Select the VOX Mode by pressing the "Function" button 8 times. The icon " " will begin flashing. Select the VOX level desired by pressing the Up/Down buttons. Pressing the PTT button saves the selected level and exits the function mode.

(2) Receive and Transmit During Scanning Channel
If there is a signal reception and transmission during scanning chan­nel, scanning will be stopped at the channel. At this time, you can transmit according to the transmit type by pressing the PTT.
(3) How to Transmit During Scanning
To transmit during scan, simply press PTT.
1. Tranmit is only allowed on the Home Channel.
2. Transmit occurs on the last channel received.
3. Transmits occurs on the channel from which scan was initiated.
(4) Progress the Channel Scan
When the radio catches any signals, scanning will be stopped on that channel for about 2 seconds, and resume scanning from the next channel. If the scanning stops on the channel that you detect and if you want to keep scanning after communication, press the "Up" button to resume scanning to the next channel.
(5) Temporary Deletion Channel on Scanning
You can delete a scanned channel temporarily if there are many channels you want to scan. Press the "Down" button when scan stops on the unwanted channel. It will be then deleted temporarily. Restarting scan will restore the deleted channel into the scan list.
You can register the channel which you want to scan among the channels in the radio as using the exter­nal PC program or through the registration mode of the scan channel in the radio. There are three dealer programmable transmit types. (See the registration and cancellation of the scan channel in a special mode.)
* How to Register the Scan Channel
Alpha-Numeric Display
1. You can set the display channel name using PC programmer.
Ex) CH-001 > SHOP
2. Usable character: A~Z(Capital/small letters),1 to 0, Special letters on the Key board
3. This is changing the channel name from "CH-001"
to perhaps "SHOP".
4. This would probably use a lot of available memory of the radio.
5. The number of available channels could be reduced
to compensate.
Quick Call II
If the dealer has programmed the radio for Quick Call, the function button acts to enable/disable the function. Pressing and holding the function button for more than 3 sec
onds will toggle it either on or off.
This function only works if enabled by the dealer.
