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.
