SCAN
Scan is useful for monitoring signals on the transceiver channels. While
scanning, the transceiver checks for a signal on each channel and only stops on a
channel if a signal is present.
To begin scanning, press the key programmed as
Scan.
• The (KCH-4) or SCAN (KCH-5) icon appears on the display.
• The channel add indicator (KCH-4: / KCH-5: ) will
appear on the display when the selected channel is added to the scan sequence.
• The channels included in the scan list are scanned.
• When a signal is detected on a channel, Scan pauses on that channel. The transceiver
will remain on the busy channel until the signal is no longer present. When the signal
“drops out”, the transceiver will remain on the channel momentarily before Scan
resumes. This delay time is programmed by your dealer. If a signal is received during
the delay time, the transceiver will remain on the same channel.
To stop scanning, press the Scan key again.
Note:
◆
If the currently selected channel is not added to the scanning sequence, Scan will not function
when pressing the key programmed as Scan. Be sure that the selected channel is added to
the scanning sequence before operating Scan.
◆ In order for Scan to function, there must be at least channels added to the scanning
sequence. If there are less channels than this, Scan will not operate.

If a key is programmed with the Scan Delete function, each channel can be
locked out of the scan sequence manually.
During scan, you can temporarily remove specific channels from the scanning
sequence by selecting them and pressing the Scan Delete key.
• The channel add indicator (KCH-4: / KCH-5: ) no
longer appears on the display for that channel.
• The channel is no longer scanned. However, when scanning is ended and restarted, the
channels will reset and the channel will again be in the scanning sequence.
