Standard and background scanning
The two types of scanning that may be available on
your radio are standard scanning, and background
scanning. Background scan can only be activated by
using a function key programmed for background
scan. It differs from standard scanning in that the
channel that was selected when background scan
was activated is also included as a
scan-group member.
Making a call while scanning
If you wish to make a call while your radio is scanning:
1 Lift the microphone off the microphone clip.
2 Press the PTT key to transmit. If the orange LED is
flashing, or background scan is active, your radio
will now call the currently selected channel.
3 If standard scan is active and there has been no
recent activity on the channel (the orange LED is
glowing rather than flashing), then the channel that
is called depends on the way your radio has been
programmed. The possible options are:
—your radio calls a predetermined channel e.g.
your dispatcher,
—your radio calls the channel where activity was
last detected, or
— your radio calls the last free channel.
4 When the called party responds, proceed with
your conversation.
Changing the background scan group
assigned to a function key
You can change the background scan group assigned
to the function key programmed for group scanning or
for scanning/nuisance delete.
