CAN
Scan is useful for monitoring signals on the transceiver
channels. When scanning, the transceiver checks for a signal
on each channel and only stops if a signal is present.
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.
• The Priority channel is a channel that is given first priority to while
scanning. The Priority channel is set by your dealer. During Scan,
the transceiver will automatically change to the Priority channel
when a call is received on it, even if a call is already being
received on any of the other channels.
Note: You can only use Scan if there are at least 2 channels
available on your transceiver that are not locked out of Scan.
