[Scan] Key
Press the [Scan] key on the front panel to initiate or stop a scan, or to perform a single sweep when manual
trigger mode is selected.

on while scanning is in progress.
Press and hold [Scan] for more than 2 seconds to stop the scan. "Scan stopped" is shown when the scan-
ning is terminated.
Press [Module] > Scan List to view the available channels on the module that are included in the scan list.
See [Module] Menu for more information on the Scan List softkey. See the [Channel] Menu for more
information on how to include a channel in the scan list (using the InScan softkey). Also, see the
[Interval]Menu for more information on how the [Scan] key is used when the manual trigger mode is selec-
ted.
