Scan Lists
Scan lists are created and assigned to individual
channels/groups.
Your radio can support up to
3 scan lists, with a
maximum of 16 members in a list.
Scan
When you start a scan, your radio cycles through the
programmed scan list for the current channel looking
for voice activity.
The LED blinks yellow.
There are two ways of initiating scan:
• Main Channel Scan (Manual): Your radio scans
all the channels/groups in your scan list. On
entering scan, your radio may – depending on the
settings – automatically start on the last scanned
“active” channel/group or on the channel where
scan was initiated.
• Auto Scan (Automatic): Your radio automatically
starts scanning when you select a channel/group
that has Auto Scan enabled.
Starting and Stopping Scan
Do one of the following.
•
Press the programmed Scan button.
• Use the Channel Selector Switch to select a
channel programmed with Auto Scan enabled.
The LED blinks yellow and you hear a positive
indicator tone, when Scan is enabled.
The LED turns off and you hear a negative
indicator tone, when Scan is disabled.
Responding to a Transmission During a Scan
During scanning, your radio stops on a channel/group
where activity is detected.
1 Hold the radio vertically 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.0
cm) from your mouth.
If the Channel Free Indication feature is
enabled, you hear a short alert tone the moment
the transmitting radio releases the PTT button,
indicating the channel is free for you to respond.
