Note:
• At the double beep, this radio’s Channel and Interference
Eliminator Code settings is transmitted, which is received
and copied by all the other (Members’) radios.
• The Leader’s radio must make this transmission when all
the Members’ radios are still in the Easy Pairing mode,
otherwise the transmission is not picked up.
• On the Leader’s radio, user must remember NOT to
release the button on the first (single) beep, otherwise
this radio becomes another Member’s radio. If that
happens, you can press PTT to escape, and retry step 3.
Scanning Channels
Use scan to search all channels for transmissions
from unknown parties, to find someone in your
group who has accidentally changed channels or to
quickly find unused channels for your own use.
There is a priority feature and two modes of
scanning (basic and advanced) to make your
search more effective. The Basic Scan mode uses
the channel and code combinations for each of the
channels as you have set them (or with the default
code value of 1). The “Advanced Scan” mode scans
all channels for any and all codes, detect any code
in use and use that code value temporarily for that
channel.
Priority is given to the “home channel”, that is, the
channel (and Interference Eliminator Code) your
radio is set to when you start the scan. This means
the initial channel (and code settings) is scanned
more often than the other channels and your radio
responds quickly to any activity occurring on the
home channel as a priority.
To start Basic Scanning:
1. Briefly press the Scan/Monitor button. The scan
appears in the display and the radio begins to scroll
through the channel and code combinations.
2. When the radio detects channel activity matching the
channel and code combination, it stops scrolling and you
can hear the transmission.
3. To respond and talk to the person transmitting, press the
PTT button within five seconds after the end of the
transmission.
4. The radio resumes scrolling through the channels
5 seconds after the end of any received activity.
5. To stop scanning, briefly press the Scan/Monitor
button.
To start Advanced Scanning:
1. Set the Interference Eliminator Code to “zero” or OFF.
2. Briefly press the Scan/Monitor button. The scan
appears in the display and the radio begins to scroll
through the channels. No Interference Eliminator Codes
filters what is heard.
3. When the radio detects channel activity with ANY code
(or NO code), it stops scrolling and you can hear the
transmission. Any Interference Eliminator Code that may
be in use by that party is detected and displayed.
