Scan; Deleting A Nuisance Scan Channel - Motorola P100 Series User Manual

SCAN

Scan allows you to monitor multiple channels and receive calls
that are transmitted on them.
Two types of scan are supported: Normal Scan and Priority
Scan. Normal Scan searches all channels sequentially in the
radio's scan list, whereas Priority Scan allocates 50% of the
scanning time to the Priority Channel (the first channel in the
designated scan list).

During scan, when activity is detected that meets the
unsquelch condition, the radio stops scanning and switches to
that channel; the G indicator is illuminated, and the channel
number is displayed. When no activity is detected for a pre-set
time, the radio resumes scanning.

If your radio has switched to a non-priority channel during
priority scan, it still checks for activity on the priority channel. If
activity is detected there, the radio switches to the priority
channel.
The radio transmits on the Home Channel, if PTT is pressed
during scanning. If the radio stops scanning, and changes to a
particular channel, all transmit and receive activities are
performed on that channel.
• Press the Scan button to begin channel scanning. The G
indicator blinks to indicate that the radio is scanning. The
LCD screen shows the Home Channel where the scan
began.
• Press Scan button to stop scanning.

Deleting a Nuisance Scan Channel

Ch. 14
A channel with unwanted activity is called a Nuisance
Channel. You can remove a Nuisance Channel from the scan
list temporarily. To remove a Nuisance Channel
• Press the Nuisance Channel Delete programmable button,
when your radio stops on a Nuisance Channel. A high-
pitched tone is heard.
You cannot remove the Home or Priority Channel from the
Ch. 1
scan list. If attempted, a low-pitched tone is heard, and no
action is taken.
To reinstate the deleted channel(s) into the scan list, restart
scan, or simply turn off your radio and turn it on again.
