CHANNEL SCAN OPERATION

RADIO PROGRAMMING
Channel scanning allows you to listen to broadcasts on many different radio channels.
To
utilize this feature the radio must be PC programmed by your dealer with a
Scan Channel containing a list of the channels to be scanned.
How Scanning Works
Using the Channel Select button, select the Scan Channel. The radio pauses, sounds a
Resume Scan Beep
, and then repeatedly checks each channel of the scan list in the
order they were programmed into the list.
When receiving a call on a channel being scanned, the radio will stop scanning to let you
hear communications on that channel. After the transmission has ended the radio will
pause before it resumes scanning to allow you time to respond. The
Resume Scan Beep
will sound when the radio resumes scanning.
When transmitting from the Scan Channel, the handheld will go to the last channel on
which a signal was received and transmit. After you release the PTT the radio will pause
to allow time for a response, sound the
Resume Scan Beep
, and resume scanning.
Priority Scanning
The priority scan option allows you to periodically monitor a Priority Channel, even if the
radio has stopped on another channel. With Priority Scan enabled, the first channel in the
scan list is the Priority Channel. The radio can also be programmed to transmit only on the
Priority Channel when scanning, if desired. The SST "Four Series" handheld can also be
programmed to sound a Priority Channel Beep whenever the radio receives on the Priority
Channel when scanning.
Nusiance Channel Delete
If one of the channels in the scan list is so busy that you want to temporarily delete it from
the list,
press and hold the channel button
until the
Resume Scan Beep
sounds.
Scanning will resume indicating the channel has been deleted.
(
NOTE: The first channel
in the scan list cannot be deleted)
.
The deleted channel will now be skipped in the
scan list. The deleted channel will be returned to the scan list if the radio is turned off, or
when the radio channel is changed using the Channel Select button.
Last Channel Scanned Alert Tone
When changing channels with the Channel Select button, an alert tone will sound
immediately after the channel number beeps to indicate the last channel that received a
message when the radio was scanning. This will identify the channel on which the last
message was received, and allow uninterrupted transmission on that channel without the
constraints of scanning. You can then press the Channel Select button to return to the
scan channel.
The SST "Four Series" radio is PC programmed using software developed by
Ritron, Inc. All programming and alignment of the SST "Four Series" radio must
be performed by a licensed radio service technician. Consult your Ritron
dealer for re-programming of your radio, or contact Ritron at 800-872-1872 for
referral to an authorized Ritron dealer.
