Scanning Channels

Use scan to search the 22 channels for transmissions from unknown parties to find someone in your
group who has accidentally changed channels or to quickly find unused channels for your own use.
There is a priority feature and two modes of scanning, Basic and Advanced, to make your search
more effective. The Basic Scan mode uses the channel and code combinations for each of the 22
channels as you have set them, or with the default code value of 1. The Advanced Scan mode scans
all channels for any and all codes, detects any code in use, and uses that code value temporarily for
that channel.
Priority is given to the home channel, that is, the channel, and Interference Eliminator Code, your radio
is set to when you start the scan. This means the initial channel, and code settings, is scanned more
often than the other 21 channels and your radio responds quickly to any activity occurring on the home
channel as a priority.

Basic Scanning

Procedure:
1 Briefly press the Scan/Monitor button.
The scan icon appears on the display and the radio begins to scroll through the channel and
code combinations. Your radio stops scrolling when it detects channel activity that matches the
channel and code combination. You can hear the transmission.
2 To respond and talk to the person transmitting, press the PTT button within 5 sec after the end
of the transmission.
The radio resumes scrolling through the channels 5 sec after the end of any received activity.
3 To stop scanning, briefly press the Scan/Monitor button.
