Activating in-zone scanning
In-zone scan is turned on using a programmed function
key. While in-zone scan is active, the radio scans all the
channels programmed for the zone in which the radio is
operating. When you change to another zone, in-zone
scan starts with channels in the new zone.
To turn in-zone scan on:
■ Press the function key.
In-zone scan remains on until either you press the
function key again, or select a standard or
background scan group.
Making a call while scanning
If you want to make a call while your radio is scanning:
1 Press the PTT key to transmit.
If the icon is flashing, your radio calls the
currently selected channel.
If there has been no recent activity on the channel
(the icon is not flashing), then the channel that is
called depends on the way your radio has been
programmed.
The possible options are:
■ your radio calls a predetermined channel e.g.
your dispatcher
■ your radio calls the channel where activity was
last detected
■ your radio calls the last free channel.
2 When the called party responds, proceed with
your conversation.
