SCAN
Scan is useful for monitoring signals on the transceiver
channels. When scanning, the transceiver checks for a signal
on each channel and only stops if a signal is present.
The transceiver will remain on a busy channel until the signal
is no longer present. Your dealer programs the delay time
between signal drop-out and Scan resumption. If a signal is
received during the delay time, the transceiver will remain on
the same channel.
Note:
◆
You can only use Scan if your dealer has programmed at least
2 channels on the transceiver. Also, there must be at least 2
channels not locked out of Scan.
◆
Ask your dealer for an explanation on how Channel Scan
functions when using 5-Tone or DTMF signalling.
To start scanning, press the key programmed as Scan .
• Scanning starts from the current channel and ascends through
the channel numbers.
• The LED flashes green.
• When a signal is received on a channel and signalling matches,
the LED indicator lights green.
To end Scan, press the Scan key again.

RIORITY
S
CAN
If your dealer set up a Priority channel on your transceiver, the
transceiver will automatically change to the Priority channel
when a call is received on it, even if a call is being received
on a regular channel.
The transceiver will remain on the Priority channel until the
signal drops out. Your dealer programs the delay time
between signal drop-out and Scan resumption.
