The basic scan mode uses the channel and code combinations for each of the 22 channels as you have set them (or with the default code value of 1). The “Advanced Scan” mode will scan all channels for any and all codes, detect any code in use and use that code value temporarily for that channel. Priority is given to the “home channel”, that is, the channel (and Interference Eliminator Code) your radio is set to when you start the scan. This means the initial channel (and code settings) is scanned more often than the other 21 channels and your radio will respond quickly to any activity occurring on the home channel as a priority.
To start Scanning:
1. Briefly press the Scan/Monitor button. The scan will appear in the display and the radio will begin to scroll through the channel and code combinations.
2. When the radio detects channel activity matching the channel and code combination, it stops scrolling and you can hear the transmission.
3. To respond and talk to the person transmitting, press the PTT button within five seconds after the end of the transmission.
4. The radio will resume scrolling through the channels 5 seconds after the end of any received activity.
5. To stop scanning, briefly press the button.
