Important! This deletes all programmed data. PLANNING SYSTEMS, SITES, AND GROUPS Planning your systems will be very important even if you do have the software. Number Tags Numbers for system and channel tags can range from 0 to 999. Systems can have the same number tag but you will get a warning. Same warning applies to channels. You can assign number tags to channels even if the system does not have a number tag but, without a system number tag, you can only navigate to these channels while holding or scanning in that system. See also Using Number Tags. If two systems/searches have the same number tag, they will be selected in sequence (the first time you select the number tag, the scanner will go to the first system/search assigned to that number tag; if you select the same number tag again, it will go to the 2nd system/search assigned to that number tag, and so on). The same rule applies to channel number tags (so don't start at 1 for each channel group in the system). Alerts You can program your scanner to alert you when, a channel is received, you receive a Close Call hit, a talkgroup ID is transmitted with an emergency alert, you get close to a POI (Point of Interest)/Dangerous Road/Dangerous Crossing, or you receive a Tone-Out hit. For each alert in the scanner, you can select from 9 different tone patterns, 15 volume settings, and 2 flash patterns. 40

PLANNING SYSTEMS, SITES, AND GROUPS

Number Tags
Numbers for system and channel tags can range from 0 to 999.
Systems can have the same number tag but you will get a warning. Same warning
applies to channels. You can assign number tags to channels even if the system
does not have a number tag but, without a system number tag, you can only
navigate to these channels while holding or scanning in that system. See also Using
Number Tags.
If two systems/searches have the same number tag, they will be selected in
sequence (the first time you select the number tag, the scanner will go to the first
system/search assigned to that number tag; if you select the same number tag
again, it will go to the 2nd system/search assigned to that number tag, and so on).
The same rule applies to channel number tags (so don’t start at 1 for each channel
group in the system).
