Scan Mode
This function automatically searches through all channels in the set for any that
are broadcasting. If a transmission is received, the scan stops on the receiving
channel as long as it is present. If the signal is lost for five seconds, the radio
resumes scanning.
If you wish to temporarily remove a received channel from the scan so that the
scan no longer stops on this channel, press the XCLUDE soft key. The selected
channel is only excluded for the time you are currently in scan mode.
You can directly access the Scan Mode menu by pressing and releasing the
SCAN/
SAVE
key on the microphone. When a Scan Mode is active, you can terminate the
scan and return the radio to standby mode by pressing and releasing the key
again.
While scanning, press the microphone or Raymic
CH
up/down keys or else rotate
the
CH
knob on the transceiver to change the scan direction. UP (key)/clockwise
(
CH
knob) increases the channel while DOWN (key) /counter-clockwise (
CH
knob)
decreases it.
Your Ray218E/Ray55E is equipped with four types of scan options: All Scan,
Saved (Memory) Scan, Priority All Scan and Priority Saved Scan. The following
illustration demonstrates how to initiate All Scan but the procedure is the same
for all scan mode options.
Note:
Whenever Weather Alert is activated, the WX Alert channel is also monitored dur-
ing the Scan Modes. If the WX Alert tone is detected, the scan is halted to receive the
Weather Alert broadcast.
