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 key programmed as
Scan.
• The icon appears on the display.
• The channels included in the scan list 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 key 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.

If a key is programmed with the Scan Delete/Add function, each channel can be
locked out of the scan sequence manually.
During scan, you can temporarily remove specific channels from the scanning
sequence by selecting them and pressing the Scan Delete/Add key.
• The icon (right side) 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.

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  is given precedence over
Priority channel 2. So, if a call is received on Priority channel  while a call is
already on Priority channel 2, the transceiver will automatically change to Priority
channel .
• “ ” appears on the display when the channel is Priority channel , “ ” appears when
the channel is Priority channel 2, and “ ” appears when the channel is both Priority
channel  and 2.
