Monitor
The Monitor function is used to briefly check for activity on the
current channel, regardless of privacy code settings. It is the same
as setting the squelch level to 'Off'.
To activate or deactivate the Monitor press the SQUELCH button
for about 2 seconds. The Monitor icon will appear when the Monitor
is active. It is normal to hear background static noise.
Display & Keypad Backlight
The display and keypad backlight will illuminate for 5 seconds
whenever any buttons (except for the PTT button) are pressed.
Channel Scan
The Channel Scan can be used to find or detect users on other
radio channels.
To activate/deactivate the channel scan, press the SCAN button
briefly. The Scan icon will appear when the channel scan is active.
Scanning will only stop when you deactivate the scan function.
The radio will scan through the 8 channels. If your radio detects a
valid signal the scan will pause according to your Scan Pause
Timer settings.
If you press the PTT button when your radio detects a signal, the
radio will transmit on the same channel. Scanning will resume after
approximately 15 seconds. Press the UP or DOWN button to
resume scanning immediately.
If you press the PTT button during scanning, the radio will return to
your original channel. Scanning will resume after approximately 15
seconds.
