Find someone in your group who has accidentally
changed channels or
•
To quickly find unused channels for your own use.
There is a priority feature and two modes of scanning
(basic and advanced) to make your search more
effective.
•
The "Basic Scan" mode uses the channel and code
combinations for each of the channel as you have set
them (or with the default code value of 1).
•
The "Advance Scan" mode will scan all channels for any
and all codes; detect any code in use and use that code
value temporary for that channel.
•
Priority is given to the "Home Channel" (i.e. the channel
and Sub-Code your radio is set to when you start the
scan). This means the initial channel (and code settings)
is scanned more often than the other seven channels
and your radio will respond quickly to any activity
occurring on the home channel as a priority.
To start Basic Scanning:
1. Press the
Scan/Monitor button briefly. The Scan
icon will appear in the display and the radio will begin to
scroll through the channel and code combinations.
2. When the radio detects channel activities matching the
channel and Sub-Code combination, the radio will stop
scrolling and you can hear the transmission.
3. Press the PTT button within 5 seconds after the end of
the transmission to respond and talk to the person
transmitting.
4. The radio will resume scrolling through the channels5
seconds after the end of any received activity.
5. Press the
Scan/Monitor button briefly to stop
scanning. To start Advanced Scanning:
1. Set home channel's Sub-Code to "zero" or off.
2. Press the
Scan/Monitor button briefly. The Scan
icon will appear in the display and the radio will begin to
scroll through the channels. No Sub-Codes will filter
what is heard.
3. When the radio detects channel activities with any code
(or no code), it stops scrolling and you can hear the
transmission. Any Sub-Code that may be use by other
party will be detected and displayed.
4. To respond and talk to the person transmitting, press the
PTT button within 5 seconds after the end of the
transmission.
5. The radio will resume scrolling through the channels 5
seconds after the end of any received activity.
6. Press the Scan/Monitor button briefly to stop scanning.
Note:
1. The transmission will be on the "Home Channel" if you press the
PTT button while the radio is scrolling through inactive channels.
