FUNCTION DETAILSSCANScan is useful for monitoring signals on the transceiver channels. While scanning,the transceiver checks for a signal on each channel and only stops on a channel if asignal is present.To begin scanning, press the key programmed as [Scan].● The indicator appears on the display.● The channels are scanned.● When a signal is detected on a channel, Scan pauses on that channel. The transceiver willremain on the busy channel until the signal is no longer present. When the signal “dropsout”, the transceiver will remain on the channel momentarily before Scan resumes. Thisdelay time is programmed by your dealer. If a signal is received during the delay time, thetransceiver will remain on the same channel.To stop scanning, press the [Scan] key again.Note:● In order for Scan to operate, there must be at least 2 channels added to the scanningsequence. If there are less channels than this, Scan will not operate.TEMPORARY CHANNEL LOCKOUTDuring scan, you can temporarily remove specific channels from the scanningsequence by selecting them and pressing the key programmed as [Scan Delete/Add].● The indicator no longer appears on the display for that channel.● The channel is no longer scanned. However, when scanning is ended and restarted, thechannels will reset and the channel will again be in the scanning sequence.PRIORITY SCANA Priority channel must be programmed in order for Priority Scan to function.When using a single Priority channel, the transceiver will automatically change to thePriority channel when a call is received on it, even if a call is being received on anormal channel.When using dual Priority channels, Priority channel 1 is given precedence overPriority channel 2. So, if a call is received on Priority channel 1 while a call is alreadyon Priority channel 2, the transceiver will automatically change to Priority channel 1.● “ ” or “ ” appears on the display when the channel is Priority channel 1 or 2 respectively.● The indicator (red) appears on the display during Priority Scan.30
