Responding to Transmissions During Scanning

During scanning, your radio stops on a channel or group where activity is detected. The radio stays on
that channel for a programmed duration known as hang time. If you want to prioritize a channel, you
can enable the Priority Scan feature through the Customer Programming Software (CPS). Priority Scan
allows the radio to automatically receive transmission from talkgroups with higher priority.
Procedure:
1 Press the PTT button.
2 Wait for the Talk Permit Tone to end, and speak into the microphone.
3 To listen, release the PTT button.
