9. Accessing Channels Saved to Memory
Once channels have been saved, you can easily access them by pressing the MEM key.
In Memory mode, only the channels saved in memory will be accessible using the Up or Down
Channel keys.
To access saved channels:
1. Press the MEM key. The “Memory Mode” icon (the “M” with the inverted triangle above
it) appears on the LCD along with “M” (Memory Channel) icon to indicate that you are in
MEMORY mode.
2. Use the
or (UP/DOWN) keys to scan through the saved channels.
3. Press the MEM key again to regain access to all channels.
10. Scanning
Your radio comes with three scan options:
Normal Scan: If there are no channels in memory, the default is Normal Scan. In Normal Scan
mode, all channels in the channel bank set are scanned in sequence. After the last channel
number has been scanned, the cycle repeats.
Normal scan will automatically check for transmission on the channel being scanned. If a signal
is received, the scan stops on the channel and the “SCAN” icon (flashing) will appear on the LCD
display. If the signal is lost for five seconds or more, the radio resumes scanning.
Memory Scan: In Memory Scan mode, only the channels that have been saved in memory are
scanned in sequence. After the last saved channel number has been scanned, the cycle repeats.
Priority Scan: In Priority Scan mode, you can scan all channels while alternately scanning
Channel 16 to make sure that you don’t miss distress or emergency calls. The secondary priority
Channel 09 can be scanned only if entered as a MEM channel or in TRI-WATCH mode.
To activate scan modes:
1. Press SCAN key once when no channels are stored in memory to activate the Normal scan
function. The Scan icon will appear on the LCD display.
