Information – This will show the database version in the scanner.

to use a startup KeY:

1. Turn the scanner off.
2. Press and hold the number key that corresponds to the startup key when you turn the
scanner on.
3. Continue holding the number key until the scanner display shows the number of the startup
key configuration
When you use Startup Configuration, the scanner checks all Favorites Lists and:
1. Favorites whose Startup Key matches the one the user pressed are changed to Monitor
Status ON.
2. Favorites whose Startup Key DOES NOT match the one the user pressed are changed to
Monitor Status OFF.
Caution: If you press the wrong key when you press the power key to set your startup
configuration, and that wrong key doesn't have any Favorites Lists assigned to that
key, you will start up your scanner with all systems Avoided-Nothing to Scan.
Priority Scan – When the scanner is scanning a Conventional System, it interrupts scanning,
based on the Priority Interval and Max Channels settings, to check priority channels for activity.
The more channels you have set to priority, the longer the interruption will be. The Favorites
List(s) and System(s) containing the priority channel(s) have to be enabled (and not Avoided) or
the scanner will display Priority Scan No Channel.
Priority ID Scan – This function is similar to conventional priority although there is no interruption
during the transmission. Priority is checked in between transmissions, when the scanner is
receiving the control channel, and during the channel delay period. The scanner can only look for
priority IDs in the trunked system it is currently scanning.
Priority DND – The scanner checks priority channels, based on the Priority Interval and Max
Channels settings, only when not receiving other conventional channels so there is no interruption
in scanning with conventional systems.
The highest priority is for channels in System Quick Key 0. The lowest priority is for channels in
System Quick Key 99. Priority for priority channels in the same channel Department follows the
order in which the channels were created.
To use Priority Scan, you must first set your Priority Channels.
To use Priority ID Scan, you must also enable Priority ID Scan for each system.
To Toggle Priority Modes, press Func then ./no(Pri).
