In three seconds, if no other keys are pressed, the radio will begin scanning all channels (except weather channels) as long as no signal is received.

If the scan has stopped on a received signal, you may resume scanning by pressing the SCAN key. [. . . ] Each unit is capable of operating while being hand carried by an individual.
