SCAN OPERATION
■
Group and priority scans
Group and priority scans repeatedly watch a priority channel
while scanning only specified channels. This is useful when
waiting for calls on the priority channel or several specified
channels.
Group and priority scans behave differently when transmit-
ting. During group scan, transmission is possible on a busy
channel only. During priority scan, transmission is possible on
a priority channel (or start channel) only.
q
Push [O/G] to select open scan.
- “GS” or “PS” appears when the
group or priority scan is se-
lected, respectively.
w
Select the priority channel if
desired.
- Push [
Y
] or [
Z
] key to select a
channel.
- Push [O/G] for 2 sec. to set the
channel to the priority channel.
e
Push [SCN] to start group or priority scan.
- Cancelling tag channels speeds up the scan interval.
r
When receiving a signal, scan pauses and resumes ac-
cording to the selected scan resume condition. (p. 10)
t
Push [SCN] to stop the scan.
■
Setting scan tag
Scan tag must be set before starting scan. Tag channels are
independently set for open, group and priority scan.
q
Select the desired channel.
w
Push [O/G] to select the desired scan type.
e
Push [SCN] for 2 sec. to set the channel as a tag channel.
- “
X
” appears for tag channels.
r
Repeat step
e
to cancel the tag channel setting.
For open scan, cancel the tag channel setting to skip un-
desired channels such as usually busy channels. This
speeds up the scan interval. All memory channels may be
set as tag channels by default.
For group scan, set only often-used channels as tag chan-
nels. All memory channels may be set as tag channels by
default.
