English
MCS 2000 Models II & III
Conventional only:
If the orange indicator is lit, the channel is busy. Wait
for the orange indicator to turn off before transmitting.
Trunking only:
If the busy tone sounds, release the PTT (F) and wait
for the automatic call back tone. When this tone is
heard, press the PTT (F) within 3 seconds to transmit.
If your radio is equipped with a time out timer, a warn-
ing tone will sound a few seconds before the call is
terminated.

Scanning

Scan allows the user to monitor more than one chan-
nel or talkgroup (including the selected channel or
talkgroup) at a time for activity.
Channels within a scan list may be assigned priority
levels as follows:
Priority 1: Most important
Priority 2: Second most important
Non-Priority: Normal scan list member without
priority
In scan the radio will listen to the channel/talkgroup
with the highest priority. If a channel/talkgroup with a
higher priority becomes active while the radio is listen-
ing to a lower priority member, the radio will switch to
the higher priority channel/talkgroup.
Note: If the user is involved in a conversation,
he will not be interrupted by any normal priority
calls.

Turning Scanning On/Off

The scanning feature may be turned on via the Scan
button (8) or via a menu as previously described.
For as long as "scan on" is selected, the scan icon
( ) will be on and the radio will scan for activity in the
channels/talkgroups that are defined in the scan lists
of the present mode.
Note: If a mode is pre-programmed with auto-
scanning, the radio scans automatically when-
ever this mode is selected and scan cannot be
turned off.
