Using scan
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 is busy. Once the channel has been clear for 5 seconds,
scanning will automatically resume.
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 remains on the busy channel.
If the radio pauses on a busy channel and you don't wish to listen to the conversa-tion briefly press
either of the or keys. The radio will skip over that channel and resume scanning from the next
channel in the sequence.
Transmitting while scanning
When scanning, your radio remembers the last channel on which it transmitted and will
automatically return to that channel each time the PTT is pressed.
Before scanning you can define your initial transmit channel by preselecting that channel first before
you press the key.
Once scanning has commenced, pressing the PTT will pause the scan and your radio will transmit
on the preselected channel. If there is no activity on the channel after 5 seconds the scan resumes.
If scanning pauses on a (different) busy channel and you press the PTT during this time, the busy
channel becomes your new default transmit channel. If there is no activity on the channel after 3
seconds the scan resumes but subsequent presses of the PTT will return to this new channel.
This allows you to continue to use this channel even if pauses in the conversation exceed the 3
second time out period.
If the radio stops on another busy channel then restarts without the PTT being pressed, your default
transmit channel will not change.
