Programmable Memory Channel Scan (PMS)

Registering to the Programmable Memory Channels

50 sets of PMS memory channels (L01/U01 to L50/U50) are available.
• Register the lower and upper frequencies of the frequency range in a pair of Pro-
grammable Memory Channels.
L nn: Lower limit memory channel
U nn: Upper limit memory channel
• PMS memory channels are displayed between channel 999 and channel 001. On
the Memory Channel List screen, press the [A] key on the microphone to jump the
"L01" PMS Memory Channel.
• For more details on registering frequencies to the memory channels, see "Writing to
Memory" in the Operating Manual.
• Make sure to use the corresponding numbers for the lower and upper limit memory channels.
• Set the Programmable Memory scanning (PMS) lower and upper limits as follows:
• The lower and upper limit memory channels must be within the same frequency band.
• The lower and upper limit memory channels must not be registered in reverse.

Performing Programmable Memory Channel Scan

The programmable memory channel scan allows scanning a specified frequency range
within the same frequency band.
1. Press the [V/M
2. Recall the PMS memory channel to which the lower limit (Lnn) or upper limit (Unn) of
the frequency band is registered.
3. Press and hold the [UP] or [DWN] switch of the microphone.
• Programmable memory channel scanning starts.
• Pressing the program key on the microphone set to the "SCAN" function also starts
the PMS scan operation.
• If the DIAL knob is rotated while scanning is in progress, the scanning will continue
up or down in frequency according to the direction of the DIAL knob rotation.
If the scanner halts on an incoming signal, the frequency will blink. Scanning will
resume in about five seconds.
4. Press the PTT switch or the [UP] or [DWN] switch on the microphone, to cancel the
scanning.
In this state (displayed as "PMS" at the upper left of the display), the frequency can be
changed only in the range stored by the lower and upper PMS memories, by rotating
the DIAL knob.
