SCAN
Scan is useful for monitoring signals on the transceiver channels. Scan can be
used as either Single Scan or Multi Scan and is programmed by your dealer.
Single Scan monitors only the channels of a single zone. To monitor other zones,
press the Zone Up or Zone Down key during Scan. Scan will then begin monitoring
the channels of the newly selected zone.
Multi Scan monitors the channels of every zone that has been added to the Scan list.
To activate Scan, press the key programmed as Scan.
•“ ” and the icon appear on the display.
When a signal is detected on a channel, “
” is replaced with the zone number/
channel number or the channel name. The transceiver will remain on the channel until
the signal is no longer present.
When the signal is no longer present, the transceiver will remain on the channel
momentarily before Scan resumes. The 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.
PRIORITY SCAN
Your dealer may have set up a Priority channel on your transceiver.
During Priority Scan, the transceiver will continuously monitor the Priority
channel while receiving a signal on another channel. When a signal is received
on the Priority channel, the transceiver immediately switches to that channel.
The icon appears on the display, indicating that the Priority channel is the
current channel.
The transceiver remains on the Priority 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.
