Scanning consists of sequentially searching up to 15 channels for a valid 
signal (RF, CTCSS or DCS tone). When found the radio will stop on that 
channel until the signal disappears again. 
The Microphone needs to be in the cradle, (on hook) for the radio to scan. 
While listening on the channel, the User can PTT on that channel. After the 
signal disappears the radio will remain listening on the channel for a short time 
(typically 3 seconds) before resuming scanning. PTT is inhibited while the Mic 
is in cradle. 
If a Priority/Emergency Channel is 
assigned, the radio will interleave a check of 
this channel between each normal channel 
check. The radio may also check the Priority 
Channel every few seconds while stopped on 
a channel. If a signal is found on the Priority 
Channel then the radio will switch to that 
channel immediately. 
If programmed, the Priority Channel is automatically selected when the 
Microphone is removed from cradle. 
To activate Scanning, press the SCAN Function button from the Main Channel 
Screen.
