Priority Scan
When Priority Scan is turned ON, your scanner checks the priority channel in the banks you
selected every 2 seconds for activity. If a signal is present on the priority channel, your
scanner monitors the channel until the transmission ends, then resumes normal scanning.
You can designate one channel in each bank as a Priority Channel. By default, the first
channel in each bank is the Priority Channel, but you can change this.
To activate Priority Scan (in either the Hold or Scan Mode):
1. Press PRI to select PRIORITY ON.
Note: If you have locked out the priority channel, ERROR
appears when you select Priority mode.
2. Press PRI to select PRIORITY OFF to deactivate Priority
Scan.
Changing the Priority Channel
You cannot eliminate the Priority Channel, but you can change it to any one of the 100
available channels in each bank.
1. Press
▲/HOLD.
2. Select a new Priority Channel:
a. Enter the channel number using the keypad.
b .Then press
▲/HOLD again.
3. Press and hold PRI for 2 seconds to designate this channel
as your new Priority Channel.
Two beeps indicates that the Priority Channel has been
changed. The P icon appears on the display.
Note: • Priority in Trunking mode works just the same, except
you set them for talkgroup IDs instead of setting
priorities for channels. The scanner only checks priority
talkgroups between transmission, in 4 second intervals.
• Priority Scan is disabled while M, E or L (Trunking type) icons are illuminated (a
beep will sound if you try to scan). To make it possible, turn OFF each function
then press PRI to select PRIORITY ON.
