Monitoring Channels
This feature allows you to ensure that a channel is free before transmitting. When enabled, the radio
overrides all programmed code settings and allows the receiver to listen in on any frequency. On a
clear frequency, you can hear a hiss. If a frequency is in use, you can hear the broadcast.
Procedure:
1 To activate the monitor selection mode, press the Menu button and navigate to Monitor
Selection.
If the monitor is off, you hear a voice prompt to activate the monitor mode by pressing the + or -
button.
2 Press + or - button to activate or deactivate the monitor mode.
When the monitor mode is on, you hear static if no activity is present or audio if channel activity
is present.
3 To engage the monitor mode, enable monitor through the menu and let the menu time out.
4 To exit the Monitor mode, press the PTT button.

Scanning Radio Channels
You can scan up to 16 channels on CLR446 and CLR PLUS models. When the radio detects activity, it
stops scanning and locks in on the active channel. This allows you to listen and talk to the person
transmitting without changing channels.
Procedure:
1 To navigate to Scan mode, press the Menu button.
If the scan is off, you hear a voice prompt to activate Scan by pressing the + or - button.
2 To activate scan, press + or - button.
When scan is on, you hear a voice prompt to deactivate Scan by pressing the + or - button.
3 To deactivate scan, press + or - button.

Dynamic Talkaround Scan
This feature maximizes communication coverage for an on-site repeater enabled on two way radio
systems.
Dynamic Talkaround Scan is enabled on a repeater channel through the Customer Programming
Software (CPS). The feature gives the radio the ability to scan the transmit and receive frequencies of
a repeater channel.
NOTICE: The feature is given higher priority than the scan mode. If the Dynamic Talkaround
Scan and Scan are enabled on the home channel, then the radio can only support the Dynamic
Talkaround Scan.
