TK-790/ ( B
(1) The scan feature is initiated by pressing the [SCN] Key.
(2) A single confirmation tone sounds, and scanning starts. If
there is only one or no added channels, an error tone will
sound and scanning will not start.
(3) The display shows "SCN" icon, and "SCAN" or the OFF
HOOK Revert Channel Number (FPU setting).
(4) If the RADIO receives a proper signal while scanning,
scanning stops temporarily, audio is unmuted, and the
channel number or name is displayed.
If either "Priority1" or "Priority2" is programmed and
scanning stops at a Normal Channel by receiving a signal,
the RADIO watches for a signal on the Priority Channel
periodically. When a signal exists on the Priority Channel,
the channel will change from the Normal Channel to Pri-
ority Channel.
If both "Priority1" and "Priority2" are programmed and
scanning stops at the Priority2 Channel by receiving a sig-
nal, the RADIO watches a signal on the Priority1 Channel
periodically. When a signal exists on the Priority1 Chan-
nel, the channel will change from the Priority2 Channel to
the Priority1 Channel.
If there is no Priority Channel programmed, the scanning
stops at a channel and receives only that channel.
(5) If the [SCN] Key pressed again, Scan Mode ends at the
revert channel, and two confirmation tones sound.
4-2. To Delete Undesired Channels
To temporarily delete undesirable channels, press [D/A]
Key while the channel is displayed, and scanning resumes.
(To temporarily delete Priority Channel 1 or 2, set the "Prior-
ity Temporary D/A" function to "YES".)
You can't delete a channel in Scan Mode under the fol-
lowing conditions:
• Priority Scan
There is only channel beside the Priority Channel in the
scan sequence.

store the original scan sequence, either turn scan off and
