There are two ways of initiating scan:

Your radio scans all the channels or groups in your
scan list. On entering scan, your radio may, depending
on the settings, automatically start on the last scanned
active channel or group, or on the channel where scan
was initiated.
Auto Scan (Automatic)
Your radio automatically starts scanning when you
select a channel or group that has Auto Scan enabled.

Do one of the following:
• Press the programmed Scan
button to start or
stop Scan.
• Turn the Channel Selector Knob to select a
channel programmed with a scan list.
