Privacy Code Scan
•
Your microTALK radio can automatically scan the
Privacy
Codes
(either CTCSS 01 through 38 or DCS 01 through 104)
within one channel. Only one set of privacy codes (CTCSS
or DCS) can be scanned at a time.
To scan privacy codes:
1.
While in
Standby
mode, press the
Channel Up
or
Channel Down
button
to choose the channel on which you
wish to scan privacy codes.
2.
Press the
Mode
button until either the CTCSS
or the DCS icon appears on the display and
the
Scan
icon and the privacy code numbers
flash on the display.
3.
Press the
Channel Up
or
Channel Down
button to begin scanning privacy codes
within the channel you selected.
The
Scan
icon will continue to be displayed
when privacy code scan is
on
. Your radio will
continue to scan privacy codes and stop as an
incoming transmission is detected. Your radio
will remain on that channel/privacy code for
10 seconds.
While setting privacy code scan, if you do not
press any buttons for 15 seconds, your radio
will automatically return to
Standby
mode on
the channel/privacy code that was displayed
before you entered mode functions.
During channel scan (while receiving an incoming transmission),
you can choose from the following:
a.
Press and hold the
Talk
button to communicate on
that channel. Your radio will remain on that channel
and return to
Standby
mode.
b.
Press the
Channel Up
or
Channel Down
button to
resume scanning channels.
If you press the
Talk
button while scanning, but more than
10 seconds after receiving a transmission, you will transmit
on the channel on which you last received a transmission.
This will return the radio to
Standby
mode.
If you do not press any button within 10 seconds after
receiving a scanned transmission, your radio will automatically
resume scanning channels.
During channel scan (while not receiving a transmission),
you can choose from the following:
a.
Press and hold the
Talk
button to communicate on the
channel or channel/privacy code that was displayed before
you entered mode functions or the channel on which, during
scanning, you last received a transmission. This will then
return the radio to
Standby
mode.
b.
Press the
Mode
button to proceed to set privacy
code scan on the channel that was either displayed before
you entered mode functions or on which, during channel
scanning, you last received a transmission (see page 19
for further details).
c.
Press the
Lock/Enter
button to return to
Standby
mode
on the channel/privacy code that was displayed before you
entered mode functions or the channel on which, during
scanning, you last received a transmission.
