Viking Mobile Radio Operating Manual

Conventional Mode Features
The user has the ability to use two different timers for Emergency mode (Conventional
system) - one to enable and one to disable emergency mode, preventing accidental
enabling and disabling of emergency mode. With Emergency Press and Hold enabled,
emergency mode is enabled when the Button Press/Hold Duration Timer expires. In both
cases, emergency mode is cancelled when the Emergency Cancel Timer expires.
5.9.5
Emergency Talkgroup
A user may program an Emergency Talkgroup. If Emergency is activated, the radio uses
the Emergency Talkgroup instead of the programmed talkgroup. If Talkgroup Lock is
programmed, the Emergency Talkgroup has priority.

Conventional Mode Channel Scanning
Channel scanning features common to all operating modes are described in Sections 4.12
and 4.13. The following information describes features unique to conventional operation.
5.10.1 Selecting a Scan List
Conventional systems are programmed with a default scan list that is normally selected by
all channels in that system. However, there is a programmable option to slave a particular
conventional scan list to a zone. This then becomes the default list for all conventional
channels in that zone (it overrides the system programming). This slave feature is
programmed.
The default scan list (which is to be used by all conventional channels except those
belonging to slaved zones), can be temporarily changed by using the SCAN option switch
or menu parameters. A scan list selected in this manner is retained through radio power
down.
Currently if the user presses and holds the Scan button, the
Scan List Select
feature is
activated. This function may be disabled on a per-system basis by programming.
