Operation - Motorola MaxTrac 100 Operating Instructions Manual

Operation

To turn scan on or off, press the Scan button. The
radio will only scan when on-hook. The channel display
will blank, and a green, horizontal segment(s) will light
to indicate which type of scan is functional. For your
convenience, the display will indicate the most recently
selected scan status.
Use the Select button to advance through the scan
types:
Note: The first and last displays apply to the pre-
programmed (channel-slaved) scan lists and will be the
only ones operational until the operator programs a
user scan list into the radio.
When an active channel with the correct signalling code
is detected, the channel number will be displayed, and
you will hear the call. If you have pressed the monitor
(Mon) button, the scan will disregard squelch codes and
scan for all activity on each channel in the scan list.
If you are in the scan mode when the power is turned
off, the radio will return to the scan mode when
powered up again. To leave scan, press the Scan
button.
To respond to scanned channel activity, lift the
microphone off-hook. The radio will suspend scanning
and return to the channel displayed before entering
scan. If you wish to respond to a transmission on
another channel, you must use the Up ( ) or Down ( )
buttons to reach that channel. To resume scanning,
replace the microphone on-hook.
Note: If the "talk-back" scan feature is enabled, your
radio will remain on the active channel when the
microphone is taken off-hook instead of returning to the
selected (home) channel. This allows you to respond or
"talk-back" to a transmission received on a scanned
channel.
In priority scan, the green priority (Pri) LED will flash to
indicate activity on priority one and light steady for
priority two. When receiving an active channel, the
radio will continue to check the priority channels. The
display will momentarily revert to the scan type and
there may be a short gap in the audio.
