Hold on Scan
When in scan mode, what happens after a busy channel is found depends on how the
radio is programmed. There are two possible options: Hold and Pause.
q
If Hold is programmed, the radio remains tuned to the busy channel until the
CH
s
button is pressed to resume scanning.
q
If pause is programmed, the radio remains tuned to the busy channel for six
seconds, then automatically resumes scanning. If during the six seconds the
radio is keyed, or the CH
s
button is pressed, the radio remains tuned to the
busy channel; scanning does not resume until the CH
s
button is pressed
again.
Installing the Programming Software onto a Laptop, or PC
The programming software is supplied on a CD-ROM or floppy disk. The software
should be installed onto a laptop computer, or PC, running Windows™ 95 or 98. To
install the software:
(1)
Insert the CD-ROM or floppy disk into the computer's appropriate drive.
(2)
From Windows Explorer, select the appropriate drive, and run the
programme called Setup.exe.
(3)
Follow the on-screen instructions. The programming files are stored in the
directory C:\Program Files\PAE unless a different directory is specified
during installation. Icons, and an uninstall programme are automatically
created during installation.
Creating a New Personality
This procedure creates a new personality for use by the radio. The personality includes
all channel frequencies, operating modes and programmable options that are required
when the radio is in operational use. When the personality has been compiled, it can be
loaded into the radio's memory by connecting the laptop (or PC) to the radio using the
programming lead.
To create a new personality:
(1)
At the laptop (or PC) run the PAE programmer software. Check that the
General page (see page 38) is displayed. If the Frequencies page is
displayed, select the General tab.
(2)
From the menu-bar select File then New. This action resets all options to the
default value and clears all entries, except one, in the frequency table.
