Scan Table
The Scan Table sets up channel operation for F1 (Frequency 1), F2 (Frequency 2),
Priority Scan, and Channel Scan. F1 can be set to any of the active channels, but only
one channel can be selected as F1. F2 works in the same way, only one active channel
can be selected as F2. Priority Scan can be set to work on any or all active channels,
with F1 as the Priority Channel. Channel Scan also can be set to operate on any or all
active channels. All selected channels will be scanned.
Note: Selective Call Scan is not included here because it cannot be changed. It will
always be the F1 and F2 selections.
Watchdog Scan Modes
Priority Scan
If Priority Scan is selected, the WatchDog pager will alternately search from frequency 1
to frequency 2 looking for the presence of carrier. Alerting can only occur on priority
channel (F1). If channel activity is detected on F1 then the WatchDog will lock on F1 and
remain on F1 until channel activity ceases. At this time the scan function will resume. If
channel activity is detected on F2, the WatchDog will process voice on F2 and periodically
scan back to F1 looking for presence of a carrier. Anytime channel activity is detected on
the primary channel, the pager will lock on that channel.
Channel Scan
When the WatchDog is in the Channel Scan mode, it will alternately search from
frequency 1 to frequency 2 looking for presence of a carrier. The primary function of
channel scan is to allow monitoring of any activity on either channel. Only one channel
can be actively monitored at a time. If activity is detected on either F1 or F2, the
WatchDog will lock on that channel until channel activity ceases. At this time, the pager
will resume scanning between channels.
Selective Call Scan
The Selective Call Scan mode allows the WatchDog to silently scan from channel to
channel looking for address tones. The pager will only open the audio path based on
detection of an address and not just channel activity. If a proper address is detected, the
WatchDog pager will alert and open the audio path for messaging.
In order to return to the scan mode the pager must first enter selective call standby. This
is done automatically if the audio function is programmed for “auto reset” or “timeout”. If
programmed for “revert” or “manual reset” then the reset button must be depressed and
released. The WatchDog will then resume selective call scan.
Alert Volume Option -
This can be set to volume control which allows you to control
volume with the knob on top of the pager. It can also be set to maximum, in which case
your pager will alert at its highest volume at all times.
Number of Power Up Beeps and Vibrate:
The number of times your pager beeps and
vibrates when turned on.
