Scan allows each of the channels that has a receive
frequency stored to be automatically monitored for
activity. Channels must be added to the scanning
sequence in order to be scanned.
To activate Scan, press the key programmed as
Scan
.
• The
icon appears on the display.
• The channel add indicator (
) will appear
on the display when the selected channel is added to
the scan sequence.
• If only one channel is added to the scan sequence or
has a frequency stored, pressing the
Scan
key causes
an error tone to sound and Scan does not operate.
To stop scanning, press the
Scan
key again.
BUSY FREQUENCY STOP
The transceiver will automatically pause on a channel
when a signal is detected. The transceiver will
remain on the busy channel for either a short time or
until the signal drops out, depending on which Scan
Resume type your dealer has set up (see below).
• The squelch must be adjusted to the noise threshold
point with no signals present for Busy Frequency Stop to
operate.
When the transceiver has paused on a channel, you
can transmit by pressing the microphone
PTT
switch.
Depending on your dealer settings, Scan may either
end when you transmit or continue to operate. If
Scan is set to continue even after transmitting, then it
will remain on the current channel for a
predetermined time before continuing. This time is
set so that if a signal re-appears on the channel, or if
you transmit again, Scan will remain on the current
channel until the signal either drops out or you stop
transmitting.

Time-Operated Scan:
After stopping on a busy
channel, Scan resumes after a predetermined
time (set by your dealer) whether or not the signal
is still present on the channel.
•
Carrier-Operated Scan:
The transceiver remains
on the busy channel until the signal ends. Scan
resumes after a predetermined time (set by your
dealer) after the signal has dropped out.
SCAN
PREFERRED SCAN
A Preferred channel must be programmed in order for
Preferred Scan to function.
During Scan, the Preferred channel is checked during
regular intervals (set up by your dealer). This interval
ensures that you do not miss important transmissions
on your Preferred channel, while scanning other
channels.
• The indicator appears on the display when the
Preferred channel is selected.
ADD TO SCAN/ REMOVE FROM SCAN
Press the key programmed as
Scan Delete/Add
, to
add or remove each channel to or from the scan
sequence. Only those channels that have been
added to the scan sequence will be scanned.
Deleted channels will be skipped.
• The channel add indicator (
) will appear
on the display when the selected channel is added to
the scan sequence.
SCAN REVERT CHANNEL
Your dealer can set up 1 of 4 different types of Scan
Reverts for your transceiver. A Scan Revert channel
is the channel that you are able to transmit on during
Scan, when you press the microphone PTT switch.
•
Preferred Channel:
If your dealer has
programmed a Preferred channel, this channel is
the revert channel.
•
Preferred C Talkback:
If your dealer
has programmed a Preferred channel, this
channel is the revert channel. However, when
paused on a busy channel, you are able to “talk
back” on that channel until Scan resumes.
•
Selected Channel:
The last channel selected
before you begain scanning is assigned as the
revert channel.
•
Selected C Talkback:
The last channel
selected before you begain scanning is assigned
as the revert channel. However, when paused on
a busy channel, you are able to “talk back” on that
channel until Scan resumes.
