Scan (Optional)

Some M-Series models have Scan. Scan
allows you to monitor the radio's pro-
grammed channels and code. When the
radio detects someone talking, it stops
scanning and locks in on the active chan-
nel. It allows you to listen and talk back
automatically to the person transmitting
without having to switch channels.
Note: To communicate in scan, your radio
must be set to the same frequency and
code as the other radio(s) in your group.
To Use Scan Feature
1. Move the Channel Selector knob to the
"s" position (Fig. N). The radio will scan
the radio's programmed channels and
code in sequential order.
2. When the radio detects someone talking,
you will hear the message.
3. Press Push-To-Talk button to talk back on
the channel.
In scan, you will always transmit back to
the channel which last sent a message.

Notes:
• In scan, after you receive a message, the
radio will remain on that channel for three
seconds before returning to scan mode.
• If you set the Channel Selector knob to
the "s" position (scan mode) and no activ-
ity is detected, you will transmit on chan-
nel 1 when you press the Push-To-Talk
