Memory Mode Operations
332-Year Warranty
NOTEThe radio remains in MHz mode after successfulprogramming of the channel.
CAUTIONIf the selected memory channel was already pro-
grammed (channel number lit continuously), the
new frequency information overwrites the previous
information.
Loading A Memory Channel
The data of a memory channel (receive and transmit
frequencies, TX offset type and offset frequency) can
be copied over into the MHz mode.
This allows you to tune the radio in the MHz mode

Scan Operations
Scan operation tells the radio to monitor a number of
frequencies or channels. When there are some activi-
ties at a particular frequency or channel, the radio
stops scanning and changes to that frequency or
channel.
Scan modes supported by the radio are:
(i) Programmable Band scan (MHz mode)
(ii) Memory Channel scan (Memory mode)
NOTEEach frequency or channel is given the same prior-ity i.e.non-priority scan.

ÊPress  to begin scanning the preprogrammed
frequency range.
NOTEThe frequency range is scanned according to the
frequencies speciÞed in channels 19 and 20, and the
selected frequency step size. If the operating fre-
quency before scanning starts is within the scan
range, the radio starts scanning from that fre-
quency, otherwise, it starts from the frequency
speciÞed by memory channel 19 (or the lowest fre-
quency in the band if channel 19 is blank).

the numeric keypad,  or  also ends the
scanning.
NOTEThe ÔSCANÕ indicator turns off when scanning is
terminated and the radio displays the frequency
where scanning stopped.
IMPORTANTIf both memory channels are left blank (unpro-
grammed), the radio scans the entire frequency
band. If channel 19 is programmed but channel 20
is blank, the upper frequency limit becomes the
highest frequency in the band. If channel 20 is...

NOTEThe radio scans through all channels in the prepro-
grammed scan list. If activity is detected, the radio
stops scanning and stays on the active channel.
The ÔSCANÕ indicator remains on, and you will hear
the conversation, provided the PL/DPL code (if
required) is correct. In Carrier squelch and Coded
squelch modes, when activity is over and a 7-sec-
ond Òhang timeÓ has expired, the display reverts to
theHome Channel and scanning resumes.

DTMF Telephone Interconnect
Dual Tone Multiple Frequency (DTMF) tones are
encoded by the radio to dial into (access) the landline
telephone network and return (deaccess) to conven-
tional radio operation.
Once the telephone network has been accessed,
phone numbers can be dialled either manually or from
memory. The keypad provides support for DTMF digits
0 to9, and the charactersA,B,C,D,* and#.
NOTEThe radio is capable of storing a maximum of 9 pre-programmed...
