To change zones on a Kenwood TK-5310 K3 radio, use the Zone Up / Zone Down programmed keys or the selector knob depending on how your radio was set up by your programming

Steps to Change Zones

Use Programmed Keys: Press the keys programmed as Zone Up or Zone Down on the radio keypad or side buttons to cycle through the available zones.
Use the Selector Knob (if configured): If your dealer set the top selector knob to control zones instead of (or in addition to) channels, turn the knob to select the desired zone.
Verify on Display: While selecting a zone, the zone name will appear on the display above the channel name for approximately 2 seconds. If voice announcement is enabled, the radio will announce the zone and channel number.
Select the Channel: Once you are in the desired zone, use the selector knob or the Channel Up/Down keys to choose your specific channel.

To use the scan function on a Kenwood TK-5310 K3 transceiver, you must have at least two channels or talk groups programmed into your scan list under conventional operation.

Starting and Stopping Scan

Start scanning: Press the Scan key (which may be programmed to a side button, top auxiliary orange key, or a panel selector depending on your specific layout). A scan indicator icon will appear on the display.
Stop scanning: Press the Scan key a second time to exit scan mode and return to your selected channel.

Managing Scan Channels

Minimum channel requirement: The transceiver requires a minimum of two channels in the active scan sequence; otherwise, scanning will not engage.
Temporary channel lockout: If your radio is programmed with a Scan Delete function, you can temporarily remove a nuisance channel while scanning by navigating to it and pressing the Scan Delete key. The channel is skipped until scan mode is turned off and restarted.
Full programming: Adding or modifying permanent scan lists, priority channels, and single- or multi-zone scan rules must generally be configured via KPG-95D programming software.
