the last channel in the current zone is displayed, the first valid channel in the next zone
is displayed and vice versa. The list is limited to 255 channels. If an attempt is made to
add more than 255, “List Full” is displayed and a channel must be deleted before
another can be added.
3 If the selected channel is in the scan list (scanned), the icon is displayed. To change
the status of the displayed channel, press the Left or Right button.
4 To exit this mode and save the changes, press the (Menu) button.
