Scanning
ML802 has a SCAN function that allows a selection of user programmable channels to be scanned
for signals. Channels are scanned at 4 channels per second. When a signal is found, scanning will
pause on that channel to allow the signal to be heard. Scanning will resume when the channel is
clear again.
To Start and Stop Scanning
To begin scanning, briefly press the key. A beep will be heard, and the icon will be displayed
on the LCD and the radio will begin scanning.
If a busy channel is found, scanning will pause on that channel to allow the signal to be heard and
will remain there for as long as the channel remains busy. Once the channel has been clear for 5
seconds, scanning will resume automatically.
If your radio is paused on a busy channel and you wish to remain there, briefly press the key. The
radio will exit Scan mode and remain on the busy channel.
If the radio pauses on a busy channel and you don't wish to listen to the conversation, briefly press
either of the or keys. The radio will skip over that channel and resume scanning from the next
channel in the sequence.
Briefly press the key again to stop scanning and it will return to the previous channel.
To Activate Repeater Channels
1. Press and hold the MENU button for 3 seconds to activate the relative repeater channel. This
works only if you are on the list of channels able to have repeater channels.
Example: On CH5 display shows "05"
Press and hold the MENU button for 3 seconds. The radio changes from 05 to "05R". The display
then shows a small "R" behind the channel number.
If you are on CH10 keep pressing the MENU button (nothing happens) you have the double beep
sound (to identify error procedure) and the radio still on CH10.
2. If you press UP/DW button (to change the channel) the channel is on the changed repeater only:
01R - 02R - 03R......08R - 41R - 42R.....48R - 01R
3. To return to "standard channels" keep pressing the MENU button 3 seconds more.
