Activating in-zone scanning
In-zone scan is turned on using a programmed
function key. While in-zone scan is active, the radio
scans all the channels programmed for the zone in
which the radio is operating. When you change to
another zone, in-zone scan starts with channels in the
new zone.
To turn in-zone scan on:
■
Press the function key.
In-zone scan remains on until either you press the
function key again, or select a standard or
background scan group.
Making a call while scanning
If you want to make a call while your radio is scanning:
1 Lift the microphone off the microphone clip.
2 Press the PTT key to transmit.
If the amber LED is flashing, your radio calls the
currently selected channel.
If there has been no recent activity on the channel
(the amber LED is glowing rather than flashing), then
the channel that is called depends on the way your
radio has been programmed.
The possible options are:
■
your radio calls a predetermined channel e.g.
your dispatcher
■
your radio calls the channel where activity was
last detected
■
your radio calls the last free channel.
