Once the signal ends or drops below the squelch level set, the radio will continue scanning. Press “SCN” or “M.SCN” to enter scan mode, the LCD will show “FS”(Full scan) or “MS”(Memory scan) on the bottom right of the LCD screen. Note that the radio will not transmit, nor will alternate channels be able to be selected while in scan mode. To restore normal operation, either press “SCN” or “CLR” again. Press “16” the radio will restore normal operation and will select channel 16. The memory scan operates in the same way as the scan, except that it will only scan channels that have been entered into the scan memory.

RF High or Low Output Power (H/L) This “H/L” button operates as a toggle switching between 1W and 25W. When RF output power is set at 1W or 25W, the “Lo” or “Hi” symbol will show at bottom right of the LCD screen. Note that some channels are restricted to 1W transmit power. The radio is programmed to switch to low power automatically when one of these channels is selected. 15. Channel Memory Function (M+) The function of this key will add the currently selected channel into the scan memory. Press the “M+” key the LCD display will show “M” on the bottom right of the LCD display, indicating that the channel has been entered into the scan memory. Press the “M+” key again if the channel is already in the memory, the “M” will be deleted indicating that the channel is not a memory scan channels. 16. Distress call button with a safety guard 3.
