Scan; Talkback; Start System Scan G - Motorola EP450 User Manual

SCAN

Your radio is equipped with the Scan feature,
which allows you to monitor multiple channels
for voice activity. The radio will stop on a
channel when it detects activity on it.
Scan lists are assigned per channel, by your
dealer/programmer. Your radio automatically
switches to a channel, within that scan list,
when it detects activity. You can edit these lists
through your radio's menu (see page 37).
• The LED indicator blinks green during scan
mode; it stops blinking when the radio
switches to an active channel.
The Gsymbol appears on the display
•
while in scan mode.
There are two types of Scan available in your
radio:
• System Scan
• Auto Scan

TALKBACK

The Talkback feature allows you to respond to
a transmission while scanning. If transmission
is detected on a channel while scanning, the
radio will stop on that channel for a default
period of time after activity has ceased. This is
referred to as "hangtime". During this hangtime
you may respond by pressing the PTT button.
Note: The LED scan indicator stops blinking
while the radio is in hangtime. If the
PTT button is not pressed after the
preprogrammed hangtime, the radio
returns to scanning channels.
