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 v or w 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 v key (see page 14). 13
