SCANNING CHANNELS
42
GENERAL INFORMATION
The radio’s scan feature allows scanning of radio channels pre-programmed into the radio for call activity. Scan
lists can be pre-programmed for each channel and then edited as desired. Each scan list may contain 32 digital
or analog channels. When the radio is scanning channels:
• The icon appears in the top of the display.
• The LED indicator on the top of the radio flashes orange slowly.
• The radio scans the channels currently on the scan list for calls (or other activity).
• When a call (or other activity) is received/detected on a channel in the scan list:
o The call’s audio is routed to the radio’s speaker.
o The radio remains on the channel (i.e., scan operation automatically pauses) until the call (or other
activity) ends.
o The icon displays while the radio is paused on a non-priority scan channel.
o The icon displays when the radio is paused on the priority 2 scan channel. During this time,
scanning pauses until the call ends.
o The icon displays when the radio is paused on the priority 1 scan channel. During this time,
scanning pauses until the call on the priority 1 scan channel ends.
OPERATION
Turning Scan On and Off
Scan can be turned on and off via the Scan menu or, if pre-programmed, by pressing the Scan shortcut key.
Both are toggle-type functions. For details on using the Scan menu, see page 35.
