SCAN

Scan monitors for signals on the transceiver channels. While

scanning, the transceiver checks for a signal on each channel

and only stops if a signal is present.
To begin scanning, press the key programmed as

[Scan].

• The

indicator appears (types I and II only).

• The LED blinks green (type III only).
• When a signal is detected on a channel, Scan pauses at that

channel. The transceiver will remain on the busy channel until the

signal is no longer present, at which time Scan resumes.

To stop scanning, press the

[Scan] key again.

Note: To use Scan, there must be at least 2 channels in the scan

sequence.

TEMPOrAry CHANNEl lOCKOUT

During scan, you can temporarily remove specific channels

from the scanning sequence by selecting them and pressing

the key programmed as

[Scan Delete/Add].

• The channel is no longer scanned. However, when scanning is

ended and restarted, the channels are reset and deleted channels

will again be in the scanning sequence.

PrIOrITy SCAN

If a Priority channel has been programmed, the transceiver

will automatically change to the Priority channel when a call is

received on that channel, even if a call is being received on a

normal channel.

• The indicator appears when the selected channel is the Priority

channel (depending on dealer setting) (types I and II only).
