OPERATION
Perform the following steps to condition your alert monitor
for operation:
1. Set the FUNCTION switch to a tone-alert position.
2. Rotate the ON-OFF SWITCH/VOLUME CONTROL
clockwise to turn on the alert monitor. Eight short beep
sounds occur and both LEDs light, indicating that power is
applied.
3. Set the FUNCTION switch to a monitor position.
4. Listen for a transmission and adjust the volume control
to a comfortable listening level.
5. If no transmission is heard, hold down the RESET
button and adjust the background noise to a comfortable
listening level. It may be necessary to readjust the volume
when a voice signal is present.
6. Set the FUNCTION switch to the desired operating
mode, i.e., selective call tone, selective call vibrate,
monitor, scan, etc.
7. Turn off the monitor by rotating the ON-OFF
SWITCH/VOLUME CONTROL counterclockwise until a
click is heard and the mechanical stop is reached.
SCAN OPERATION
Priority Scan
If the alert monitor is programmed for priority scan, the
frequency programmed as F1 is designated as the priority
channel. If there is no traffic on F1, the alert monitor
alternately listens to F1 and F2 until a transmission is
detected. If a transmission is detected on F1, the alert
monitor stays on that channel until the transmission
ceases. The alert monitor only decodes tones on the F1
channel. No tones are decoded on the F2 channel.
