Description of Operating Functions

Channel Scan
The Scanning feature is used to monitor multiple
channels programmed into the transceiver. While
scanning, the transceiver will check each chan-
nel for the presence of a signal, and will stop on a
channel if a signal is present.
One key or switch may be assigned to the Scan
function, as follows:
r One of the Soft keys may be assigned for
Scan operation; or
r The TOGGLE switch may have one position
assigned to the Scan function.
To activate scanning:
¦ Press the assigned Soft key, or set the
TOGGLE switch to the assigned position.
¦ The scanner will search the channels, looking
for active ones; it will pause each time it finds
a channel on which someone is speaking.
To stop scanning:
¦ Press the assigned Soft key, or set the
TOGGLE switch to a different position.
¦ Operation will revert to the channel to which
the CH knob is set.
