Scanning Channels
Use scan to search the 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 2 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 channels as
you have set them (or with the default code value of 1).
The "Advanced Scan" mode will scan all channels for any and all codes,
detect any code in use, and use 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 setting) is scanned more
often than the other channels, and your radio will respond quickly to any
activity occurring on the home channel as a priority.
To start Scanning:
1. Briefly press the
key. The scan
will appear in the display, and the
radio will begin to scroll through the channel.
2. When the radio detects channel activity matching the channel, it
stops scrolling and you can hear the transmission.
3. To respond and talk to the person transmitting, press
within five
seconds after the end of the transmission.
4. The radio will resume scrolling through the channels five seconds
after the end of any received activity.
5. To stop scanning, briefly press the
key.
Scanning Notes
1. If you press
while the radio is scrolling through inactive
channels, the transmission will be on the "home channel". Scanning
will resume five seconds after the end of your transmission. You may
press the
key to stop scanning at any time.
2. If the radio stops on an undesired transmission, you may
immediately resume the scan by briefly pressing
or
.
3. If the radio repeatedly stops on an undesired transmission, you may
temporarily remove that channel from the scan list by pressing and
holding
or
for three seconds. You may remove more than one
channel in this way.
4. To restore the removed channel(s) to the scan list, turn the radio off
and then back on, or exit and re-enter the scanning mode by
pressing
.
5. You cannot remove the home channel from the scan list.
Use With Accessories
You can transmit more reliably with the use of optional PTT headset
accessories. A PTT headset allows privacy to others around you while
listening.
Many accessories (sold separately) are available for your radio. For
more information, visit our Web site at www.motorolasolutions.com or
shop.giantintl.com.
1. Turn the radio off and plug the PTT accessory into the accessory
jack.

microphone instead of the radio.
