While the emergency function is active, a long press of the Keypad Lock/Emergency 
Reset key will cancel the emergency mode. 

A short press of this key turns on selectable priority scan. Selectable priority scan 
assigns the selected channel as the high priority channel. A second, lower priority 
channel may be assigned in radio programming. All channels in the selected zone’s 
scan list will be scanned. If PTT is pressed while scanning, the radio will transmit on the 
high priority channel. If PTT is pressed while scan is paused on a channel the radio will 
transmit on the pause channel. If MENU is pressed scan is canceled. While scan is on, 
a short press of the Scan key cancels scan. 
 
The Scan key is also used as a clear (long press) or backspace (short press) key 
during alpha-numeric keypad entry. 

The 

∗ key is a multi-function key allowing selection of several functions with successive 

presses. The available functions depend on analog/digital mode. In digital mode the 
talk group select, all call, talkaround and home functions may be available. In analog 
mode the talkaround and home functions may be available. 

The first press of the 

∗ key may prompt “GROUP:” to enter a new talk group. This 

function is only available in digital mode and the entered talk group must be in the 
selected zone’s talk group list. 

Successive presses of the 

∗ key may prompt “ENTER TO UNADDRESSED VOICE 

CALL?” or “EXIT UNADDRESSED VOICE CALL?” to enter/exit unaddressed voice call 
mode. This function is only available in digital mode. Unaddressed Voice Call mode 
implements an all call function to all talk groups using the channel. 

 

 

Successive presses of the 

∗ key may prompt “ENTER TO TALKAROUND MODE?” or 

“EXIT TALKAROUND MODE?” to enter/exit talkaround mode. This option is not 
available on simplex (direct) channels. The talkaround function sets the transmitter to 
the programmed receive frequency/CTCSS/DCS/NAC.
