Scan
■Scan Type
1. Single Zone Scan
Radio scans all the channels that added into the scan list on the current zone.
2. Multi Zone Scan
Multiple zones that added into a multi scan list can be scanned. All channels within all
the zones that added into the scan list can be scanned.
■Scan Start
1. Add one or several non-priority channels into the scan list.
2. Press the programmed Channel Scan key to initiate scan from the current channel,
and ascends through the channel numbers in scan list. The LCD displays the “SCAN”
icon (“-SCAN-” indicates multi zone scan).
■Scan Cease
Scanning pauses or ceases upon the following:

exits the scan mode.
2.Activate the Monitor function.
3.Receives carrier that satisfy radio un-mute condition.
■Scan Resume
If scanning pauses on an active channel, the scanning will resume according to the scan
resume mode. The scan resume mode is programmable by your dealer for Carrier
operated scan or time operated scan.
17
1. Time Operated Scan
Scanning remains on an active channel for a programmed time period (programmable
by your dealer),once the timer expires, the radio will begin scanning other channels
even if the active channel is still busy.
2. Carrier operated scan
If carrier is detected during the scan sequence, scanning will remain on the active
channel until here is on activity.
■Dual Priority Scan
If dual priority channels are programmed by your dealer, the radio still checks the dual
priority channels for activity at configured intervals. While scanning pauses on a
non-priority channel. If carrier is detected on a priority channel, the radio will
immediately switch to the active priority channel.
LCD displays the “p。” icon if the current channel is programmed as the Priority Channel
1. the “p.” icon if the cur-rent channel is programmed as Priority Channel 2, while the “p.”
icon if the current channel is programmed as both the Priority Channel 1 and 2.
■Scan Add/Delete
If the Scan Add/Delete feature is enabled by your dealer, the current channel can be
added/deleted to/from the scan list, as the following procedures.
1. Select a channel to be added/deleted in the non-scan mode.
2.The current channel toggles between Add/Delete status upon each press the
programmed scan Add/Delete key.
