2714 SCANn Using Visual Scan (Memory Channel)1 Press [MR] to enter Memory Recall mode.2 Turn the Tuning control or press [ ]/ [ ] toselect your desired center memory channel.3 Press [F], [INFO] to start the Visual Scan.4 The transceiver start scanning the 5 uppermemory channels and 5 lower memorychannels, by centering the selected memorychannel.• The current scanning memory channelnumber and frequency are displayed on thecurrent operating band. On the other band,the relative S-meter level of each frequencychannel is displayed.• To pause Scan, press [MONI]. While theVisual Scan is paused, you can monitor thepaused frequency. Press [MONI] again toresume the Visual Scan.6 To change the current scanning channel, turnthe Tuning control or press [ ]/ [ ].7 To stop the Visual Scan, press [F], [INFO].Note:uIf you press [MONI], Visual Scan temporarily pauses. Release[MONI] to resume scanning. When it is paused, the centerfrequency bar-graph blinks.uAlthough you can perform the Visual Scan on the A or B-band,the B-band cannot output the audio during the scan.uYou can press [PTT] or [CALL] (if 1750 Hz is programmed) totransmit during the scan.uIf the Fine Tuning function is ON, the Visual Scan cancels theFINE function and automatically adjusts the frequency to the nextavailable frequency.SCAN RESUME METHODThe transceiver stops scanning at the frequency (ormemory channel) where a signal is detected. It thencontinues or stops scanning according to whichresume mode you have selected. You can chooseone of the following modes. The default is Time-operated mode.• Time-Operated mode (default)The transceiver remains on a busy frequency (ormemory channel) for approximately 5 seconds,then continues to scan, even if the signal is stillpresent.• Carrier-Operated modeThe transceiver remains on the busy frequency (ormemory channel) until the signal drops out. Thereis a 2 second delay between signal dropout andscan resumption.• Seek modeThe transceiver moves to a frequency or memorychannel where a signal is present and stops.To change the scan resume method:1 Press [MNU].2 Turn the Tuning control or press [ ]/ [ ] to selectMenu No. 1 (SCAN RESUME).3 Press [sssss] or [MNU].4 Turn the Tuning control or press [ ]/ [ ] to select“TIME ” (Time-Operated mode), “CARRIER”(Carrier-Operated mode), or “SEEK” (Seek mode).5 Press [sssss] or [MNU] to store the setting.Otherwise, press [ttttt] or [PTT] to cancel.MEMORY CHANNEL LOCKOUTYou can lock out memory channels that you prefernot to monitor during Memory Scan.1 Press [MR] to enter Memory Recall mode.2 Turn the Tuning control or press [ ]/ [ ] to selectthe memory channel to be locked out.3 Press [F], [MHz].• “ ” appears at the top right of the memorychannel number, indicating the channel islocked out.4 To unlock the memory channel, repeat steps 1 ~ 3.• “ ” disappears.
