Using Startup Keys
To Use a Startup Key:
1. Turn the scanner off.
2. Press and hold the number key that corresponds to the startup key when
you turn the scanner on.
3. Continue holding the number key until the scanner display shows the
number of the startup key configuration.
When you use Startup Configuration, the scanner checks all Favorites Lists and:
1. All Favorites Lists that do not have a startup key assigned will be scanned
the way they were when you last turned off the scanner.
2. All Favorites Lists that have a startup key assigned to the one you pressed
will be Unavoided.
3. All Favorites Lists that have a different startup key assigned will be Avoided.
4. The scanner will remember the last startup configuration you used when you
power up the scanner the next time using just the power key.
Caution: If you press the wrong key when you press the power key to set your
start
up configuration, and that wrong key doesn’t have any Favorites Lists
assigned to that key, you will start up your scanner with all systems Avoided-
Nothing to Scan .
Priority Scanning
Priority Scan When the scanner is scanning a Conventional System, it interrupts
scanning, based on the Priority Interval and Max Channels settings, to check
priority channels for activity. The more channels you have set to priority, the
longer the interruption will be. The Favorites List(s) and System(s) containing the
priority channel(s) have to be enabled (and not Avoided) or the scanner will
display
Priority Scan No Channel .
Priority ID Scan This function is similar to conventional priority although there is
no interruption during the transmission. Priority is checked in between
transmissions, when the scanner is receiving the control channel, and during the
channel delay period. The scanner can only look for priority IDs in the trunked
system it is
currently scanning.
Priority DND The scanner checks priority channels, based on the Priority Interval
and Max Channels settings, only when not receiving other conventional channels
so there is no interruption in scanning with conventional systems.
