Scanning
14 Basic Operation
The scan function is used to monitor a programmed
group of channels, looking for activity. When activity is
detected on one of the scan group channels, the radio
stops on that channel. The amber LED flashes and, if the
channel signalling is valid, the radio unmutes and you
can hear the call.
Scanning resumes when the channel is no longer busy or
the signalling is no longer valid.
Activating Scanning
1. Place the microphone on the microphone clip.
Note: Your radio may be programmed to
scan whenever the microphone is off the
microphone clip.
2. Press the function key assigned to scanning. The
amber LED glows to show that the radio is scanning.
3. Press the scanning function key again to cancel scan-
ning, and the amber LED no longer glows.
Nuisance Delete
If a member channel of the scan group is busy for a long
time and you do not wish to hear the conversation, you
can temporarily delete it from the scan group by using
the function key assigned to nuisance delete.
Alternatively, press and hold the scanning function key.
When the scan group is next selected, the deleted chan-
nel is again part of the scan group.
Priority Scanning
One or two priority scan channels may be set. These
channels are scanned more often than other channels
and are scanned periodically when a non-priority channel
is busy. Note that priority channels cannot be removed
from the scan group using the nuisance delete function.
