QUICK KEY CONCEPTS
QUICK KEYS
Organizing your Quick Keys will be part of the planning. You will have to figure out which quick
keys to assign to your Favorites Lists and Systems so you can scan them without a table of
contents and with some sort of logic you can remember. Remember, enabling/disabling quick keys
is not the same thing as Avoiding or Unavoiding Systems and Monitor On/Off Favorites Lists.
fAvORITES LIST QUICK KEYS
Favorites Lists Quick Keys are used to enable or disable Favorites Lists for scanning. They are
just the number keys on the scanner but once assigned to a Favorites List they become the Quick
Keys. Your Favorites Lists hold your Systems that also may have System quick keys assigned
to those Systems. You cannot assign a Quick Key in one Favorites List to another Favorites List.
Selecting a Favorites List will enable all (Unavoided) Systems in that list for scanning. There
are 100 Quick Keys (0-99) to use for your Favorites Lists. Favorites List Quick Keys can only be
assigned once to any one Favorites List, If you don’t assign a Quick Key to a list, it will always be
enabled.
SYSTEM QUICK KEYS
System Quick Keys are used to enable or disable conventional and trunking systems for scanning.
You can assign any quick key to one or more Systems, or program one or more systems with no
quick key assigned that will always be scanned unless you Avoid it. There are also 100 Quick
Keys (0-99) to use for your Systems.
dEPARTMENT/SITES QUICK KEYS
You also have 100 Department and/or Site Quick Keys to assign to your Sites and Departments
within your Systems. You can assign any Quick Key to one or more Departments or Sites, or
program one or more Department or Site with no Quick Key assigned that will always be scanned
unless you Avoid it.
It is best to assign Quick Keys to everything to easily access your Favorites Lists, System, and
Department/Sites. See also Scanning Order (page 50) for Quick Key scanning order.
SEARCH KEYS
You can assign any Search Keys (1, 2, or 3) to any Custom Search range, Tone-Out Search, or
Close Call Only Search for quick access to your favorite searches.
PLANNING PROfILES
STARTUP KEYS
You can program each of your Favorites Lists with a Startup Key (0-9) so that when you power
up the scanner and press the key number, just those Favorites List(s) assigned to the key will be
enabled for scan. Systems are not affected. (See also Using Startup Keys, page 48.)
