command will be ignored.
Operating in the Open Scan Mode
• If a busy channel is found, scanning will pause
to allow the signal to be heard and will remain
there for as long as the channel remains busy.
Once the channel has been clear for 5 seconds,
scanning will resume automatically.
• If you don’t wish to listen to a busy channel,
briefly rotate the Channel control (or press the
or keys) while the radio is paused on that
channel. The busy channel will be temporarily
removed from the scan group to allow time
for the channel to become clear again and
scanning will continue. The skipped channel
will be reinstated in the scan sequence after 30
seconds (see Auto Skip).
• If you press the PTT while the radio is scanning,
the scan will pause and the radio will transmit
on the working channel. After the channel has
remained clear for 5 seconds scanning will
resume.
• If your radio pauses on a busy channel and
you wish to talk on that channel, simply press
the PTT during a break in the conversation.
If the busy channel was not your working
channel, it now becomes your new working
channel, replacing your previous one. Once your
communication has finished and the channel
has been clear for 5 seconds, scanning will
resume.
