SCAN Scan is useful for monitoring signals on the transceiver channels. When scanning, the transceiver checks for a signal on each channel and only stops if a signal is present. The transceiver will remain on a busy channel until the signal is no longer present. Your dealer programs the delay time between signal drop-out and Scan resumption. If a signal is received during the delay time, the transceiver will remain on the same channel. Note: ◆ You can only use Scan if your dealer has programmed at least 2 channels on the transceiver. Also, there must be at least 2 channels not locked out of Scan. ◆ Ask your dealer for an explanation on how Channel Scan functions when using 5-Tone or DTMF signalling. To start scanning, press the key programmed as Scan. • Scanning starts from the current channel and ascends through the channel numbers. • The LED flashes green. • When a signal is received on a channel and signalling matches, the LED indicator lights green. To end Scan, press the Scan key again. PRIORITY SCAN If your dealer set up a Priority channel on your transceiver, 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 regular channel. The transceiver will remain on the Priority channel until the signal drops out. Your dealer programs the delay time between signal drop-out and Scan resumption. 17
