SEEK MODE

The Seek mode is a unique feature that allows you to
continuously scan a band of frequencies between 403 Mhz
and 520 Mhz for activity. Once the radio has reached the
upper limit of 520 Mhz it will resume scanning from 403
Mhz again. If you find an active frequency you can assign it
to a Listening Channel. This feature makes it easier to locate
active channels when you aren't sure of the exact frequency
you want to listen to.
ENABlING THE SEEK MODE
Note: Before using the Seek mode you should
1. Pre-select your preferred frequency step (12.5 khz
or 25 khz).
2. Enable the Listening channel numbers that you wish to
store active frequencies into. you cannot use Seek mode
unless at least 1 channel is enabled
3. Select the Numeric mode so that the frequency can be
displayed (rather than the ALPhA label).
To enable the Seek mode:
1. Switch the radio Off.
2. hold the SCAN key while switching the radio ON again.
'SEEk' will be displayed for a few seconds. The radio is
now in Seek mode.
Note: When you have finished using the Seek mode simply
switch the radio off. When you switch it on again, normal
operation will be restored.
SCANNING FOR ACTIVE FREqUENCIES
IN THE SEEK MODE
To scan for active frequencies
and store them into a Listening channel:
1. Select the required Listening channel (41 – 80). The
frequency currently selected for that channel will be
displayed.
2. Briefly press the SCAN key. The radio will begin scanning
the frequency band starting from the selected frequency.
The channel number will remain constant (because the
radio is scanning frequencies not channels) but the
frequency will change as the scan advances through
the band.
