Your microTALK radio can automatically scan up to
10 programmed

Memory Locations

.

If there are one or fewer memory locations
programmed in your radio, the scan memory

The

Scan

icon and the

to scan memory locations and stop if an
incoming transmission is detected. Your
radio will remain on that memory location
for 10 seconds.

buttons for 15 seconds, your radio will automatically return

the memory location on which, during scanning, you last received
a transmission. This will return the radio to

Standby

mode.

If you do not press any button within 10 seconds, your radio
will automatically resume scanning memory locations.
