Monitor
It is courteous to monitor a channel for radio traffic before
communicating to avoid interfering with other users.
To monitor the channel (regardless of privacy code), press and
release the P1 side button. You will hear any weak radio signals
and ‘squelch noise’. Press P1 button again to switch off the
monitor mode.
If the channel is not in use proceed with your call
Channel scan (446 version only)
Scanning allows you to sequentially check other radio channels for
conversations. When activated, the radio automatically steps
through each channel position, pausing when a channel is in use.
This allows you to listen and communicate with users on that
channel without having to change channel manually.
Once the channel activity stops, the radio will pause for 5 seconds
before scanning resumes. If scanning has paused, simultaneous
transmissions on other channels will not be heard.
To start scanning press the P2 side button. The LED indicator
shows a green heartbeat.
To stop scanning, press the P2side button again.
If you press the PTT button while the radio is scanning, the radio
will transmit on the channel that is currently selected by the
channel control.
If you press the PTT button while the radio is paused, the radio will
transmit on the channel being received.
When scanning you may hear conversations that you wish to skip.
To temporarily remove a channel from the scanning cycle, wait for
the scanning to pause on the ‘nuisance’ channel and then press and
hold the P2 side button until the radio beeps once.
The channel will not be scanned again until you exit the Scan mode
or switch OFF your radio.
