SCANNING THE CHANNELS
You can scan all the 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 you have
set a channel with QT/ DQT. 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.
Before you can use the scan function, ensure that it is
activated. You can turn the scan function (the ability to
perform scan) ON or OFF in Setting Mode:
1 Turn the transceiver power OFF.
2 Press and hold the MENU key while turning
the transceiver power ON (for 1 second).
3 Press the or key to select “
”.
4 Press the MENU key to select “ ” (scan
function off) or “
” (scan function on).
If you select “ ”, you will no longer be able
to perform scan by pressing and holding the
key (see page 14).
