Scan mode operation
You can save channels into memory and then use scan mode to monitor those
channels from lowest to highest. If the radio detects a signal on a channel, it
stays on that channel as long as the signal is received; when the signal stops,
the radio continues scanning.
Using the radio in scan mode
To activate scan mode, press SCAN DUAL.
You must have at least two channels in memory to start a scan.
You cannot transmit while in scan mode.
To save a channel into memory, select the channel, then press and hold the
L/M/H MEM key. The “MEM” icon displays whenever you tune to that chan-
nel.
To remove a channel from memory, set the radio to that channel, then press
and hold the L/M/H MEM key. The “MEM” icon no longer displays.
When the radio stays on a channel, press Channel Up to leave that channel
and resume scanning.
To end the scan, press the SCAN DUAL key again; the radio remains on the
last scanned channel.
