SCANNING CHANNELS
Publication 14222-1150-2000, Rev. A 43
The radio can be pre-programmed with the Auto Scan feature on a per-channel basis. If so, the radio will
automatically begin scanning the channel’s scan list when the channel is selected. In this case, to turn scan off,
use the Scan menu or, if pre-programmed, press the Scan shortcut key once.
Pausing Scan
If a call is received on an analog channel and staying on the channel (i.e., pausing scan) is desired so additional
transmissions can be heard on it, press the pre-programmed Monitor or Squelch Off shortcut key when a call
is on the channel. When the Monitor function is on, the icon appears in the top of the display and if present,
call audio on the channel is heard in the radio’s speaker. When the Squelch Off function is on or when a call is
on the channel, the icon appears in the top of the display and call audio on the channel (or receiver noise) is
heard in the radio’s speaker. Press the shortcut key again or the Scan shortcut key to unpause scan.
Nuisance Temporary Delete
To temporarily remove a channel from a channel’s scan list so calls on it will not pause scanning, press the pre-
programmed Nuisance Temporary Delete shortcut key when a call is on the channel. In this case, the
channel will not be scanned again until after a menu action is completed, the channel or zone is changed, the
radio is power-cycled, or scan is turned off and back on. See page 35 for details on editing a scan list.
