Operation

Scan

The radio has a scanning function for tagged voice channels. Any available 
voice channel, including weather and private channels, can be tagged and 
added to the scanning sequence. As default the radio scans with priority 
scanning of channel 16. If a signal is received while in any scanning mode, 
only channel 16 continues to be watched.

If there is a signal in one of the scanned channels, the display shows the 
channel in which the signal is received. If PTT is pressed while scanning, the 
scanning stops, the radio is tuned into the displayed channel and 
transmission starts immediately on the displayed working channel.

To start scanning

menu, but not the scanning procedure, press

To stop scanning

 press

 QUIT

selector knob until the wanted channel is in 
the display. Then press the soft key 

TAG

the word
