The basic scanmode uses the channel and code combinations for each of the 22channels as you have set them ( or with the default code value of1). The “Advanced Scan” mode will scan all channels for any andall codes, detect any code in use, and use that code valuetemporarily for that channel.Priority is given to the “home channel,” that is, the channel (andInterference Eliminator Code) your radio was set to when you startthe scan. This means the initial channel (and code setting) is scannedmore often than the other 21 channels, and your radio will respondquickly to any activity occurring on the home channel as a priority.To start Scanning:1. Briefly press the key. The scan will appear in thedisplay, and the radio will begin to scroll through the channeland code combinations.2. When the radio detects channel activity matching the channeland code combination, it stops scrolling and you can hear thetransmission.3. To respond and talk to the person transmitting, press withinfive seconds after the end of the transmission.4. The radio will resume scrolling through the channels fiveseconds after the end of any received activity.5. Tostop scanning, briefly press the key.To start Advanced Scanning:1. Set the Interference Eliminator Code to “zero” or OFF.2. Briefly press the key.The scan will appear in thedisplay,and the radio will begin to scroll through the channels.No Interference Eliminator Codes will filter what is heard.3. When the radio detects channel activity with ANY code (or NOcode), it stops scrolling and you can hear the transmission. AnyInterference Eliminator Code that may be in use by that partywill be detected and displayed.4. To respond and talk to the person transmitting, press withinfive seconds of the end of the transmission. The radio willtransmit using the newly detected Interference Eliminator Code.5. The radio will resume scrolling through the channels fiveseconds after the end of any received activity.6. To stop scanning, briefly press the key.Scanning Notes:1. If you press while the radio is scrolling through inactivechannels, the transmission will be on the “home channel”.Scanning will resume five seconds after the end of yourtransmission. You may press the key to stop scanning at anytime.2. If the radio stops on an undesired transmission, you mayimmediately resume the scan by briefly pressing or .3. If the radio repeatedly stops on an undesired transmission, youmay temporarily remove that channel from the scan list bypressing and holding or for three seconds. You mayremove more than one channel in this way.4. To restore the removed channel(s) to the scan list, turn the radiooff and then back on, or exit and re-enter the scanning mode bypressing .5. You cannot remove the home channel from the scan list.6. In Advanced Scan, the detected code will only be used for onetransmission. You must note the code, exit scan, and set thatdetected code on that channel to permanently use the detectedcode.Weather ReceiverYour radio can tune in to broadcasts by the United States NationalOceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Weather Radioand Environment Canada Weatheradio.You can listen to a weather channel (see “Weather Channels andFrequencies” table below) or set your radio to alert you toemergency weather broadcasts that interrupt routine broadcasts.When you listen to a weather channel, you cannot use your radio inscan mode or for two-way communications.Both NOAA and Environment Canada have transmitters locatedthroughout the United States and Canada, respectively.
