accept the group ID/name.
4Press and hold the microphone PTT switch to make the call.
•Speak into the transceiver as you would during a normal transmission.

13
■MAKING INDIVIDUAL CALLS (APCO)
If a key has been programmed with Individual, you can make calls to
specified persons.
1Press the key programmed as Individual.
2Press the GRP and keys or rotate the CH control to select a unit ID
from the list that has been pre-entered into your transceiver.
•Alternatively, you can directly enter a unit ID by using a DTMF keypad.
•The target unit ID/name appears on the display.
3Press and hold the microphone PTT switch to make the call.
•Speak into the transceiver as you would during a normal transmission.
RECEIVING
1Select the desired zone and channel using the GRP and keys and the
CH control.
2When you hear a caller’s voice, readjust the volume as necessary.
•If signaling has been programmed on the selected channel, you will hear a call only
if the signal tone matches the tone set up on your transceiver.
Note: Signaling allows your transceiver to code your calls. This will prevent you from listening to
unwanted calls. It does not make calls private, it only prevents them from being heard by
transceivers set with a different signaling code. Refer to “SIGNALING” on page 25 for details.
■RECEIVING GROUP CALLS (APCO)
When you receive a call on your group channel and the received group ID
matches the ID set up on your transceiver, you can hear the caller’s voice.
Readjust the volume as necessary.
■RECEIVING INDIVIDUAL CALLS (APCO)
When you receive an individual call, a ringing tone will sound and the display
will show the caller’s ID. To respond to the call, press and hold the
microphone PTT switch and speak into the transceiver as you would during a
normal transmission.

14
SCAN
Scan is useful for monitoring signals on the transceiver channels. While
scanning, the transceiver checks for a signal on each channel and only stops on
a channel if a signal is present.
To begin scanning, press the key programmed as Scan.
•The (KCH-14) or
SCAN
(KCH-15) icon appears on the display.
•The channel add indicator (KCH-14: / KCH-15: ) will
appear on the display when the selected channel is added to the scan sequence.
•The channels included in the scan list are scanned.
•When a signal is detected on a channel, Scan pauses on that channel. The
transceiver will remain on the busy channel until the signal is no longer present. When
the signal “drops out”, the transceiver will remain on the channel momentarily before
Scan resumes. This delay time is programmed by your dealer. If a signal is received
during the delay time, the transceiver will remain on the same channel.
To stop scanning, press the Scan key again.
Note:
◆If the currently selected channel is not added to the scanning sequence, Scan will not function
when pressing the key programmed as Scan. Be sure that the selected channel is added to the
scanning sequence before operating Scan.
◆In order for Scan to function, there must be at least 2 channels added to the scanning sequence.
If there are less channels than this, Scan will not operate.
TEMPORARY CHANNEL LOCKOUT
If a key is programmed with the Scan Delete function, each channel can be
locked out of the scan sequence manually.
During scan, you can temporarily remove specific channels from the scanning
sequence by selecting them and pressing the Scan Delete key.
•The channel add indicator (KCH-14: / KCH-15: ) no
longer appears on the display for that channel.
•The channel is no longer scanned. However, when scanning is ended and restarted,
the channels will reset and the channel will again be in the scanning sequence.

15
PRIORITY SCAN
A Priority channel must be programmed in order for Priority Scan to function.
When using a single Priority channel, the transceiver will automatically change to
the Priority channel when a call is received on it, even if a call is being received
on a normal channel.
When using dual Priority channels, Priority channel 1 is given precedence over
Priority channel 2. So, if a call is received on Priority channel 1 while a call is
already on Priority channel 2, the transceiver will automatically change to Priority
