SCAN Scan is useful for monitoring signals on the transceiver channels. While scanning, the transceiver checks for a signal on each channel and only stops on a channel if a signal is present. To begin scanning, press the button programmed as [Scan]. • The " " indicator appears on the display. • If programmed by your dealer, the LED indicator blinks during scanning. • The channels are scanned. • When a signal is detected on a channel, Scan pauses on that channel. The transceiver will remain on the busy channel until the signal is no longer present. When the signal "drops out", the transceiver will remain on the channel momentarily before Scan resumes. This delay time is programmed by your dealer. If a signal is received during the delay time, the transceiver will remain on the same channel. To stop scanning, press the [Scan] button again. Note: ◆ In order for Scan to operate, there must be at least 2 channels added to the scanning sequence. If there are less channels than this, Scan will not operate. TEMPORARY CHANNEL LOCKOUT During scan, you can temporarily remove specific channels from the scanning sequence by selecting them and pressing the button programmed as [Scan Delete/Add]. • The " " (right side) indicator no longer appears on the display for that channel. • The channel is no longer scanned. However, when scanning is ended and restarted, the channels will reset and the channel will again be in the scanning sequence. PRIORITY SCAN A Priority channel must be programmed in order for Priority Scan to function. When using a single Priority channel, the transceiver will automatically change to the Priority channel when a call is received on it, even if a call is being received on a normal channel. When using dual Priority channels, Priority channel 1 is given precedence over Priority channel 2. So, if a call is received on Priority channel 1 while a call is already on Priority channel 2, the transceiver will automatically change to Priority channel 1. • The " " indicator appears on the display when the channel is Priority channel. 64
