OPERATING THE TRANSCEIVER

SCANNING CHANNELS

ENVOY™ TRANSCEIVER REFERENCE MANUAL 61

Scanning channels

If you intend to receive calls on several channels, switch on scanning. When scanning

is switched on, the transceiver sequentially selects each channel/mode in your scan

tables to detect incoming calls. The channel are scanned in a continuous cycle. Mute

is switched on automatically.

NOTE: Only those scan tables that are set to be scanned have the channels

scanned.

When the transceiver detects a call addressed to your station, it stops scanning and

notifies you according to the type of call received. When you press SCAN to end the

call, scanning resumes. If you do not press this key to end the call, or any other key

within a pre-determined timeout, the transceiver automatically ends the call and

resumes scanning.

NOTE: The default standby state for the transceiver is to return to scanning so

that it is ready to receive calls across a range of frequencies.

When the transceiver detects voice, it notifies you according to the mute setting

selected. If your transceiver is set to notify you when voice is detected (V), you can

pause scanning, select the channel/mode on which the voice was heard, then resume

scanning when required. If your transceiver is set to Selcall mute (S), it only pauses

scanning when it detects a call addressed to your station.

It is recommended that scanning is switched on when you are not using the transceiver

to communicate.
