TRANSCEIVER OPERATION

2-7

November 1999

Part No. 001-7780-500

To turn radio wide scanning off, press the Radio
Wide Scan option switch again. The

icon is

then no longer indicated and “RWS OFF” is
displayed briefly.

If the zone or channel is changed while radio wide
scanning, radio wide scanning continues normally.

Scan Resume Delay

When a message is received or transmitted while

scanning, there is a programmable delay before scan-
ning resumes. The delay after receiving a call prevents
another message from being received before a
response can be made, and the delay after transmitting
a call ensures that a response is heard to your call
instead of another message occurring on some other
channel.

Standard Mode Scan List

NOTE: The selected channel is always scanned.

With conventional operation when using the full

keypad (15-key) model, up to three scan lists can be
programmed. The list that is scanned is selected by the
Scan option switch as described in Section 2.4.11.
Selecting another conventional channel does not
change the current scan list. In addition, the scan lists
are user programmable if the Scan Edit option switch
is programmed. With limited keypad (3-key) models,
only Scan List 1 can be scanned, and it is not user
programmable.

With SMARTNET/SmartZone operation, each

channel can be programmed so that one of up to three
different scan lists is automatically selected. Channels
can also be programmed so that scanning is automati-
cally disabled when they are selected. SMARTNET/
SmartZone scan lists are not user selectable or
programmable.

Radio Wide Mode Scan List

With radio wide scanning, there is only one

preprogrammed scan list available regardless of the
type of channel selected, and it is not user
programmable.

Determining Which Channels are in Scan List

Channels in the radio wide and standard

SMARTNET/SmartZone scan lists are not indicated.
With standard conventional scanning, the selected
channel is in the current scan list if the box

icon

(around “

S

”) is indicated in the upper left corner of the

display.

Nuisance Channel Delete

With standard scanning, both conventional and

SMARTNET/SmartZone channels can be temporarily
deleted from the scan list. This feature is not available
with radio wide scanning. Proceed as follows:

NOTE: The selected channel and conventional priority
channels cannot be deleted from the scan list.

1. While receiving a message on the channel to be

deleted, press and hold the Scan option switch until
the alert tone sounds (about 1 second).

2. The channel is then deleted and scanning of the

remaining channels in the scan list resumes.

3. Deleted channels are added back into the scan list if

either of the following occur:

Scanning is turned off and then on again using the
Scan switch.

Transceiver power is turned off and then on again.

2.3.12 CONVENTIONAL AND SMARTNET/

SMARTZONE OPERATION

Introduction

Each selectable channel is programmable for

either conventional, SMARTNET, or SmartZone oper-
ation. For example, Zone 1/Channel 1 could be a
conventional channel, Zone 1/Channel 2 a
SMARTNET channel, and so on. More information on
these modes follows.

Conventional Operation

This is a non-trunked operating mode which

accesses independent radio channels (there is no auto-
matic access to several channels as with trunked oper-
