Scanning
PRO902 has a SCAN function that allows a selection of user programmable channels to
be scanned for signals. Channels are scanned at 4 channels per second. When a signal is
found, scanning will pause on that channel to allow the signal to be heard. Scanning will
resume when the channel is clear again.
To Start and Stop Scanning
To begin scanning, briefly press the key. A beep will be heard, and the icon will be
displayed on the LCD and the radio will begin scanning.
If a busy channel is found, scanning will pause on that channel to allow the signal to be
heard and will remain there for as long as the channel remains busy. Once the channel has
been clear for 5 seconds, scanning will resume automatically.
If your radio is paused on a busy channel and you wish to remain there, briefly press the
key. The radio will exit Scan mode and remain on the busy channel.
If the radio pauses on a busy channel and you don't wish to listen to the conversation,
briefly press either of the ▲ or ▼ keys. The radio will skip over that channel and resume
scanning from the next channel in the sequence.
Briefly press the key again to stop scanning and it will return to the previous channel.
To Activate Repeater Channels
1. Press and hold the MENU button for 3 seconds to activate the relative repeater channel.
This works only if you are on the list of channels able to have repeater channels.
Example: On CH5 display shows "05"
Press and hold the MENU button for 3 seconds. The radio changes from 05 to "05R". The
display then shows a small "R" behind the channel number.
If you are on CH10 keep pressing the MENU button (nothing happens) you have the
double beep sound (to identify error procedure) and the radio still on CH10.
2. If you press UP/DW button (to change the channel) the channel is on the changed
repeater only:
01R - 02R - 03R......08R - 41R - 42R.....48R - 01R
3. To return to "standard channels" keep pressing the MENU button 3 seconds more.
