Edit the Scan List in the Motorola XTS2500 and XTS5000 Portable Radios
This is a short course on how to edit the scan list for a Motorola XTS series portable radio. Editing allows you to add or
delete channels in the scan list and set priorities. Upon completion of the editing you will be able to listen to the
customized scan list on your radio.
1. Press the ‘4-way Navigation Button’ left or right until ‘PROG’ appears on the screen. Press the
that is directly below the word ‘PROG’. ‘SCAN’will then appear on the screen.
2. Select the button directly below the word ‘SCAN’ on the display to begin programming the scan list.

3. The square box at the top of the screen will flash indicating that you are in the scan programming mode.
4. Use the select ‘SEL’ button to add channels to the scan list. Move the channel selector and the zone switch to
navigate to the channels you would like to add to your list. To remove a channel use delete ‘DEL’ button to
remove any channel you do not want on the list. Once your list is complete repeatedly push the recall ‘RCL’
button to review the list you programmed into the radio.

5. To make one channel a priority on your scan list hit the select button a second time while programming that
channel. This will change the scan icon to a priority scan icon on the display. On some radios you can
select up to two different priority channels.
6. Once you are satisfied with your scan list push the home button to exit the scan programming mode. You
are now ready to scan. Press the scan button to begin listening to the scan list you programmed into the radio.
