Operator`s manual

The SCAN function allows monitoring of up to 1 6 receive channels on
the selected system. The scanned channels may be any frequency within the
frequency band limits of the radio and may be Channel Guard protected. All
scan functions are retained in memory, even if the 12 Volt vehicle battery is
disconnected.
Any channel may be scanned with or without a priority level. One channel
may be programmed for Priority 1 (P1) and another for Priority 2 (P2) with
any or all remaining channels programmed as non-priorities.
RECEIVER SCAN RATE
The scan rate for the radio will vary depending upon the number of
channels programmed into the scan list and whether or not Channel Guard is
programmed. The scan rate will be faster when fewer channels are program-
med into scan memory.
Scan operation will be determined by the following conditions:
• PRIORITY 1, PRIORITY 2 and NON-PRIORITY PROGRAMMED
The Priority 1, Priority 2 and up to 14 remaining channels will be
scanned. Once a carrier is detected (and if programmed, the correct
Channel Guard is decoded), the display will indicate that channel.
Sampling of the Priority 1 and Priority 2 channels continues while
receiving a message. Should a Priority 1 or 2 channel carrier (and correct
Channel Guard) be detected while a non-priority channel is being
received, the applicable indicator, P1 or P2 lights, and the channel is
switched to the Priority 1 or 2 channel regardless of what is being
received on the non-priority channel.
1. The radio will remember the scan state through a power cycle
unless programmed with a predefined power up state.
2. The radio may be programmed to stop scanning when the micro-
phone is removed from the hookswitch.
3. When the radio is programmed, a FIXED SCAN list can be
specified. If this is done, the SCAN list cannot be changed.
4. A previous channel with priority will become a non-priority scan
channel when a new priority channel is programmed.
