SCAN
Your radio is equipped with the Scan feature, 
which allows you to search for, lock onto, and 
monitor voice activity on channels. Scan lists 
are assigned per channel, by your dealer/
programmer. Your radio automatically switches 
to a channel, within that scan list, when it 
detects activity. You can also edit these lists 
through your radio’s menu (see page 29).
• The green LED indicator blinks during scan 
mode; it stops blinking when the radio 
switches to an active channel.
•The Gsymbol appears on the display 
while in scan mode.
• Your dealer/programmer can preprogram 
your radio where if the microphone is taken 
off-hook while in Scan mode, the scanning 
activity becomes suspended until the 
microphone is replaced.
There are two types of Scan available in your 
radio:
•System Scan
• Auto Scan
TALKBACK
The Talkback feature allows you to respond to a 
transmission while scanning. If transmission is 
detected on a channel while scanning, the radio 
will stop and land on that channel for a 
preprogrammed period of time after activity has 
ceased. This is referred to as “hangtime”. 
During this hangtime you may respond by 
pressing the PTT button. 
Note: The LED scan indicator stops blinking 
while the radio is in hangtime. If the 
PTT button is not pressed after the  
preprogrammed hangtime, the radio 
reverts back to scan.
