SCANNING THE CHANNELS
You can scan both channels of the transceiver to search for a
signal. When the transceiver verifies a signal on a channel, it
proceeds to check whether or not its QT/ DQT setting
matches that which is set up on your transceiver. If the QT/
DQT matches, the transceiver stops at the channel and opens
the squelch so you can listen to the call. If the QT/ DQT does
not match, the call is ignored and scanning continues.
To begin scanning:
1 Press and hold the ▲ key for 1 second.
• SCAn appears on the display.
2 When a signal is detected and the QT/ DQT matches, the
channel number appears on the display and blinks.
3 When the signal is no longer present, the transceiver waits
for 5 seconds before scanning continues.
• If a new signal appears before the 5 seconds elapse, the
transceiver will remain on the channel until the signal is no
longer present again, at which time it will again wait for
5 seconds before continuing.
4 To end the scan at any time, press and hold the ▲ key for
1 second.
• The transceiver returns to the channel you were using before
you started scanning.
