select a channel.
The current channel is shown on the LCD in BIG digits. It may have a designator suffix (A B,
or D) in small letters below the channel number. If D is shown, this means DUPLEX operation.

Hold down for about 3 seconds to show the radio MENU so that you can customize your
radio, enter categories, and enter alphanumeric data.
2-13 SCAN (ALL SCAN & 3CH SCAN)
There are two SCAN modes you can use to find the broadcast channel:
• ALL SCAN mode scans ALL channels in sequence AND checks the priority channel every
2 seconds.
• 3CH SCAN mode scans the favorite channels and CH16.
When a signal is received, scanning stops at that channel and BUSY appears on the LCD. If
the signal ceases for more than 5 seconds, the scan restarts. Press SCAN or PTT to stop at the
current channel.
If you are in NAVIGATION mode or FM RADIO mode and want to scan the DSC channels while
staying in that mode, just hold down SCAN.
Note: SCAN functionality is limited in some European countries and, if ATIS mode is enabled,
the 3CH SCAN mode will be disabled and an error beep will sound.
