A mobile terminal and system scan method thereof is provided for effectively acquiring system information even in a weak electrical field area using Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI). A system scan method for a mobile terminal includes evaluating, when the mobile terminal is turned on, received signal strengths of all channels registered to a preferred roaming list, creating a candidate channel list listing channels, each having a received signal strength greater than a threshold value, performing a full-scan process on the channels listed in the candidate channel list, and performing, when the full-scan process fails to find a system, a power saving process, wherein the full-scan process and power saving process are performed alternately until the system is found. |
