button when the base radio is programmed for 'Z" button Scan
channel operation.
To return to normal channel operation, press the Channel
Selector button and the base radio will return to channel 1.
To temporarily block a busy channel while scanning, press the
"Z" button while the base radio is stopped on the channel to be
blocked and hold it until scanning resumes. The blocked
channel will now be skipped in the scan list.
Priority Scanning (Optional)
The base radio can be optionally programmed for priority
scanning. Priority Scan allows you to periodically monitor a
Priority Channel, even if the base radio has stopped on another
channel. This will prevent missed calls on the primary operating
channel when in scan mode.
With Priority Scan enabled:
•
The first channel in the scan list is the Priority Channel.
•
The radio checks the Priority Channel every two seconds
to check for activity. This time is programmable and can
be set for 1 - 8 seconds.
•
The base radio can be programmed to transmit only on
the Priority Channel when scanning.
•
The base radio can be programmed to sound a Priority
Channel Beep whenever the base radio receives on the
Priority Channel when scanning.
See your Ritron dealer or contact Ritron directly for PC
programming of this option.

AGING ECODE PERATION
To use Paging Decode a base radio channel must be
programmed for 2-Tone, DTMF or Selcall Paging Decode. The
radio does not operate with Paging Decode as it is received
from the factory.
To activate Paging Decode you must first select a radio
channel that has been programmed for Paging Decode. The
factory default setting will automatically activate Paging Decode
any time the Paging Decode channel is selected. If not,
simultaneously press both of the volume buttons and hold
briefly before releasing. The radio sounds three beeps when
Paging Decode is turned on.
If you are unable to set the base radio, you have selected a
channel that is not programmed for Paging Decode.
When the base radio decodes an incoming Paging signal it will
emit a "ring' tone similar to a telephone and the display will
show a "C" to indicate that a call has been received. You can
now proceed with normal two-way communication until the
Paging Decode feature has been reset. The "ring" tone will
sound every time a Paging signal is decoded.
The display will show a "C" to indicate that a Paging
call has been received.
