OPEN SCAN MODE
Before scanning, select your preferred working channel
using the
or keys. Your working channel is the
default channel your radio will transmit on when the PTT is
pressed while scanning.
Scanning in Open Scan Mode
If a busy channel is found, the scan will pause on the
channel to allow you to hear the signal and will resume
scanning once the channel has been clear for 5 seconds.
While the scan is paused, the
icon will continue to
animate on
the display to indicate that the scan function is still active.
To talk on your working channel while the radio is scanning,
simply press the PTT. Scanning will pause and your radio
will switch to your working channel allowing you to transmit
and receive on that channel. When your conversation has
finished and the channel has been clear for 5 seconds,
scanning will resume.
If the scan pauses on any busy channel and you wish to talk
on that channel, simply wait for a break in the conversation
and press the PTT. The busy channel now becomes your
working channel, replacing your previous working channel.
Once your conversation has finished and the channel has
been clear for 5 seconds, scanning will resume.
If you need to use your Priority Channel while your radio
is scanning (perhaps for an urgent call or an emergency),
briefly press the
MENU
F
key followed by the LVL
PRI
key. The
radio will jump straight to the Priority Channel and the Scan
mode will be cancelled.
If you wish to remain on a busy channel, briefly press the
SCAN
OS/GS
key while the scan is paused on that channel. The
radio will exit Scan mode and remain on the busy channel.
GROUP SCAN MODE
Before scanning, store your preferred Priority Channel.
Scanning in the Group Scan Mode
When scanning, the radio scans all the channels
programmed into the Group Scan memory, with the Priority
Channel being scanned after every fourth channel.
If a signal appears on the Priority Channel – at any time
– the receiver will switch straight to it and will stay there
for as long as the Priority Channel is busy. During this time
you can transmit on the Priority Channel in the usual way.
Once there has been no activity for 5 seconds, the radio will
resume scanning the other channels.
If a signal appears on one of the other channels, scanning
will pause on that channel and will remain there while
the channel is busy, as long as there are no signals on the
Priority Channel. During this time the receiver will continue
to check the Priority Channel for signals every 2 seconds,
resulting in a series of small ‘breaks’ in the reception of the
paused channel. Once there has been no activity on any
channel for 5 seconds, the radio will resume scanning.
If your radio is paused on a busy channel and you wish to
remain there, briefly press the
SCAN
OS/GS
key. The radio will exit
the Scan mode and remain on the busy channel.
NOTE: The radio will no longer be monitoring the Priority
Channel (unless it is the same as the busy channel).
To resume scanning, press the
SCAN
OS/GS
key again.
To transmit on the Priority (working) Channel AT ANY TIME
while scanning, simply press the PTT key. The radio will
switch straight to the Priority Channel. When you have
finished your conversation and there has been no further
activity on the Priority Channel for 5 seconds, the radio will
resume scanning the other channels.
To go directly to the Priority Channel, briefly press the LVL
PRI
key. The radio will exit Scan mode.
