The FM Scan feature checks a User-assigned Priority
Channel regularly as you scan other channels. Thus,
if only Channels 1, 3, and 5 (of the 8 available chan-
nels) are designated for “Scanning,” the user may
nonetheless assign Channel 2 as the “User-assigned”
Priority Channel via the FM Scan.
To activate FM Scan, first select the channel you want
to designate as the “User-Assigned Priority Channel”
and press (or press and hold) the assigned program-
mable key. Then rotate the
CH
Selector knob to re-
call to the “Scanning Start” channel which has been
programmed by your dealer to activate the scanner.
When the scanner stops on an “Active” channel, the
User-assigned Priority Channel will automatically be
checked every few seconds; if activity is found on the
User-assigned Priority Channel, the radio will switch
between it and the Dealer-Assigned Priority Channel,
if any.
