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.
On K2 and K3 model transceivers, the icon appears on the
display.
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: 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.
On K2 and K3 model transceivers, the icon 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.
