If Memory Scan is selected while the handset/fistmike is off

If the handset/fistmike is replaced within 10 seconds of select-
ing Memory Scan, it will automatically initiate Memory Scan.
The display will now show “SCAN M”. If the radio detects a
signal, it will lock onto this and the large digits will change to
show the relevant channel (Fig 2.8).
