Emergency Operation (Conventional Mode)
To enable an emergency transmission, press
the EMERGENCY BUTTON for approximately
one (1) second. If an emergency channel is pro-
grammed, the radio will switch to the emergency
channel, turn on the "EMG" status flag and trans-
mit GE-STAR emergency signaling. If no emer-
gency channel is programmed, the radio will
transmit GE-STAR emergency signaling on the
selected channel.
Scanning Conventional Channels
In conventional mode, the M-PA may be pro-
grammed for non-priority scan, dual-priority scan,
or scan operation may be disabled. Scan pro-
gramming options include a front keypad entered
scan list or a fixed scan list. Priority scan program-
ming options include a fixed priority-one channel
or the selected channel as the priority-one chan-
nel.
Scan rate will vary depending upon the num-
ber of channels on the scan list and whether or
not the radio is programmed to scan for Channel
Guard. Fewer channels will result in a faster scan
rate. All scan functions are retained in memory
when the battery pack is removed.
The radio will not scan when the emergency
mode is enabled ("EMG" status flag is on).
