Emergency Operation (Conventional Mode)
To enable an emergency transmission, press the
EMERGENCY BUTTON for approximately one (1)
second. If an emergency channel is programmed, the
radio will switch to the emergency channel, turn on
the "EMG" status flag and transmit GE-STAR emer-
gency signalling. If no emergency channel is pro-
grammed, the radio will transmit GE-STAR
emergency signalling on the selected channel.
Scanning Conventional Channels
In conventional mode, the M-PA may be pro-
grammed for non-priority scan, dual-priority scan, or
scan operation may be disabled. Scan programming
options include a front keypad entered scan list or a
fixed scan list. Priority scan programming options
include a fixed priority-one channel or the selected
channel as the priority-one channel.
Scan rate will vary depending upon the number
of channels on the scan list and whether or not the
radio is programmed to scan for Channel Guard.
Fewer channels will result in a faster scan rate. All
scan functions are retained in memory when the
battery pack is removed.
The radio will not scan when the emergency
mode is enabled ("EMG" status flag is on).
Adding Channels To And Deleting Channels
From The Scan List
1.
Scan must be off to add channels to or delete
channels from the scan list. If the "SCN"
status flag is on, press SCAN to turn scan
off.
2.
Select the desired channel using the CON-
TROL KNOB and/or STEP button. If the
selected channel is currently on the list, the
"S" status flag will be on.
3. Press the 2nd then A/D repetitively (or hold
the A/D key down after pressing 2nd) until
the desired priority indicator appears: "S" for
non-priority, "2" for priority-two, "1" for a pri-
ority-one, or no indicator to remove the chan-
nel from the scan list. If a new priority
channel is selected the previous corre-
sponding priority channel will become a non-
priority scan channel. One of the following
messages may be momentarily displayed:
