MONITOR/ SQUELCH OFF
You can use the key programmed as Monitor or Squelch Off
to listen to weak signals that you cannot hear during normal
operation, to deactivate channel signaling, and to adjust the
volume when no signals are present on your selected
channel.
• Monitor: Momentarily press to deactivate Quiet Talk or Digital
Quiet Talk signaling. Press the key again to return to normal
operation.
• Monitor Momentary: Press and hold to deactivate Quiet Talk or
Digital Quiet Talk signaling. Release the key to return to normal
operation.

Press the key again to return to normal operation.
• Squelch Off Momentary: Press and hold to hear background
noise. Release the key to return to normal operation.
Note: The default Squelch level is set to 5 (out of 10). This value
can be adjusted by your dealer.
SCAN
You can scan 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 any). 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.
Note: You can only use Scan if there are at least 2 channels
available on your transceiver that are not locked out of Scan.
