Press and hold SCAN switch then press the ADD
switch twice.  The selected channel will now
become the Priority 2 channel and the “P2”
indicator will light to indicate that the channel is
now in the scan program as Priority 2.

Release SCAN switch.

Priority 1 (P1)**

1.

 

Perform steps 1 through 3 of the Non-Priority
procedure.

2.

 

Press and hold SCAN switch; then press the
ADD switch three times.  The selected channel
will now become the Priority 1 channel and the
“P1” indicator lights to indicate that the channel
is now in the scan program as Priority 1.

3.

 

Release SCAN switch.

**If a Priority 1 or 2 scan channel already exists
when programming a new Priority 1 or 2 scan
channel, the old Priority 1 or 2 channel becomes
a Non-Priority scan channel.

Delete Scan Channels (S, P1, P2)

1.

 

Confirm that radio is turned on (digital display
lit).  If not, press POWER switch.

2.

 

If SCAN indicator is lit, press and release SCAN
switch to disable scan function.

3.

 

Select the desired channel to be removed from
the scan list using the ADD or DELETE switch.

4.

 

Press and hold SCAN switch; then press the
DELETE switch once.  This removes the
selected channel from the scan list.  All scan
indicators (S, P1, P2, and SCAN) will be off.

5.

 

Release SCAN switch.

6.

 

Repeat preceding steps 2 through 5 for each
channel to be removed from the scan list.

Review

1.

 

Confirm that radio is turned on (channel
indicator is lit).  If not, press POWER switch.

2.

 

If SCAN indicator is lit, press and release SCAN
switch to disable scan function.

3.

 

Select each channel (one at a time) using the
ADD or DELETE switch and confirm channels
included on the scan list.  The scan indicator (S,
P1, P2) will light for each channel programmed.

USING THE OPTIONAL EIGHT (8) OR
SIXTEEN (16) CHANNEL RADIO (WITH
SCAN)

Perform the procedure listed in the paragraph “Using

the Optional Eight (8) or Sixteen (16) Channel Radio
(Without Scan).”

Scan Mode

Press and release SCAN switch to enable the scan

function.  The scan indicator should light and the
following conditions apply:

 

Only programmed scan channels will be
received.

 

As long as no signal is being received, the digital
display will indicate the pre-scan selected
channel.  If S, P1, or P2 indicator is not lit, no
signal will be received on this channel since it
has not been programmed for scan.

 

When a signal is received, the display indicates
the channel received and the priority level.

 

Removing microphone from hookswitch locks
the radio onto the received scan channel.
Pressing the PTT switch on the microphone
allows transmission on the received scan
channel.

 

Scan resumes, after few seconds delay, when the
microphone is returned to the hookswitch.  Pre-
scan channel will again be displayed and will be
the transmit channel if user removes microphone
from hookswitch before another channel is
detected.

 

Channel changes and other normal operations are
allowed while off-hook, but will be immediately
forgotten when the microphone is placed on-
hook.
