Description of Operating Functions
Channel Scan
The Scanning feature is used to monitor multiple
signals programmed into the transceiver. While
scanning, the transceiver will check each channel
for the presence of a signal, and will stop on a chan-
nel if a signal is present.
One key or switch may be assigned to the Scan
function, as follows:
r One of the Soft keys may be assigned for Scan
operation; or
r The Toggle switch may have one position as-
signed to the Scan function.
To activate scanning:
l Press the assigned Soft key, or set the Toggle
switch to the assigned position.
l The scanner will search the channels, looking for
active ones; it will pause each time it finds a chan-
nel on which someone is speaking.
To stop scanning:
l Press the assigned Soft key, or set the Toggle
switch to a different position.
l Operation will revert to the channel to which the
CH knob is set.
Note: Your dealer may have programmed your radio
to stay on one of the following channels if you
press the PTT switch during scanning pause:
l Current channel (“Talk Back”)
l “Last Busy” channel
l “Priority” channel
l “Home” channel
l “Scan Start” channel
Dual Watch
The Dual Watch feature is similar to the Scan
feature, except that only two channels are monitored:
r The current operating channel; and
r The “Priority” channel.
To activate Dual Watch:
l Press the assigned Soft key, or set the Toggle
switch to the assigned position.
l The scanner will search the two channels; it will
pause each time it finds a channel on which
someone is speaking.
To stop scanning:
l Press the assigned Soft key, or set the Toggle
switch to a different position.
l Operation will revert to the channel to which
the CH knob is set.
