customize the scan options for your particular situation, so the
following paragraphs detail the available options.
Busy channel scan
If no priority channel has been programmed by your dealer or
communications coordinator, all channels in your scan list will be
checked for activity, with no preference given to any channel. If
activity is detected on a channel the radio will stop on that
channel. Depending on programming, the radio may resume
scanning after a programmed maximum channel dwell time,
even though a signal is still present on the channel. While the
radio is stopped on a channel it may be deleted from the scan list
by pressing and releasing the upper function button. This
function may be referred to as nuisance channel delete. If only
one channel is left in the scan list, the radio will automatically
turn off scan. When scan is turned off (or the radio is turned off),
all channels removed from the scan list using nuisance channel
delete will be restored.
Priority channel scan
If a priority channel has been programmed by your dealer or
communications coordinator, the priority channel will be checked
more often than the other channels in the scan list. If activity is
detected on a channel the radio will stop on that channel. While
stopped on a non-priority channel, the radio may be programmed
to check for activity on the priority channel. This may be referred
to as priority channel lookback, and the receive audio from the
non-priority channel will be briefly interrupted while priority
lookback occurs. While the radio is stopped on a non-priority
channel it may be deleted from the scan list by pressing and
releasing the upper function button. This function may be
referred to as nuisance channel delete. The priority channel can
not be deleted from the scan list. If only one channel is left in the
scan list, the radio will automatically turn off scan. When scan is
turned off (or the radio is turned off), all channels removed from
the scan list using nuisance channel delete will be restored.
