Scan permits you to monitor any or all programmed channels; the receiver
continuously scrolls through each channel selected from the scan list. The
channels to be scanned are user programmable and may or may not be assigned
a priority level, its up to you the user to make this determination.
If the power is cycled or the channel selector is changed during scan
operation, scan must be re-initiated.
NON PRIORITY SCAN
Non-priority operation is initiated by pressing the "S" button. If the "2"
button (Monitor) is lit, scan will be faster because the transceiver is looking
only for carrier activity not channels programmed for Channel Guard. When
not in the Monitor mode (i.e., "2" button not lit), scanning speed will be slower
due to combined search of carrier and channels programmed for Channel
Guard.
If your scan list is empty, the "S" button will not light, an alert tone will
sound, and scanning will not start.
The scanner will stop on the first channel with activity, and when that
activity ceases, the dealer programmed SCAN WAIT TIME will go into effect
(for reception of any additional transmissions on that channel). At the end of
the scan wait time, the transceiver will resume scanning, starting with the next
channel on the list.
Picking up the microphone (going off-hook) while locked onto an active
channel will stop scan and cause the radio to remain locked on that channel for
the duration of transmission plus the scan wait time.
Picking up the microphone while not locked onto a channel, will stop scan
as above, however, the transceiver will stop on the channel being scanned at
the time the microphone was taken off-hook, if no priority channel had been
programmed. If a priority channel is programmed, the transceiver will revert
to Priority Channel #1, even in the Non-Priority scan mode.
Returning the microphone to the holder (going on-hook) will cause the scan
sequence to resume the pre-programmed scan wait time.
