Responding to Transmissions During Scanning
During scanning, your radio stops on a channel or
group where activity is detected. The radio stays on
that channel for a programmed duration known as
hang time. Follow the procedure to respond to
transmissions during scanning on your radio.

If the Channel Free Indication feature is
enabled, you hear a short alert tone the moment
the transmitting radio releases the PTT button,
indicating the channel is free for you to respond.

clearly into the microphone if enabled.

Wait for the PTT Sidetone to end and speak
clearly into the microphone if enabled.
3 Release the PTT button to listen.
The radio returns to scanning other channels or
groups if you do not respond within the hang time.
Deleting Nuisance Channels
If a channel continually generates unwanted calls or
noise, termed as Nuisance Channel, you can

nuisance channel, press the programmed
Nuisance Channel Delete button until you hear a
tone.
A nuisance channel can only be deleted by using
the programmed Nuisance Channel Delete
button. This feature is not accessible through the
menu.

The nuisance channel is deleted.
