transmission has a CTCSS or DCS tone that matches a tone programmed for receiving. If the LED is not illuminated, a clear channel is present. If enabled, the channel can be monitored for activity before transmitting by going off-hook. Transmit When the channel is clear, press and hold the P-T-T bar on the side of the microphone.
Scan Modes Channel Scan Channel scan is a programmable feature that allows you to monitor a number of channels. Your dealer will help you define a channel scan list to be programmed into a scan channel location (any channel, 1 - 4). Once that channel location is selected, scan is initiated.
Priority Channel Scan A single channel may be programmed as the priority channel. The radio will constantly monitor this channel while scanning and when the radio has stopped on an active channel. If a call is detected on the priority channel, the radio will automatically move to and remain on the priority channel for as long as the priority conversation takes place.
Other Programmable Scan Features Look-Back Any channel, when not in the scan mode, can be pro- grammed to “look-back” at the priority channel. This feature is ideal for those who do not need scan as defined above but want to make sure they never miss a call on the priority channel if another channel has been selected.
