SCAN

Your radio is equipped with the Scan feature, which allows you to search for, lock onto, and monitor voice activity on channels/talkgroups. Scan lists are assigned per channel/talkgroup, by your dealer/programmer. Your radio automatically switches to a channel/talkgroup, within that scan list, when it detects activity. You can also edit these lists through your radio’s menu (see page 36).

•The green LED indicator blinks during scan mode; it stops blinking when the radio switches to an active channel/talkgroup.

•The Gsymbol appears on the display while in scan mode.

•Your dealer/programmer can preprogram your radio where if the microphone is taken off-hook while in Scan mode, the scanning activity becomes suspended until the microphone is replaced.

There are two ways that your radio scans:

•System Scan (manual)

•Auto Scan (automatic)

TALKBACK

The Talkback feature allows you to respond to a transmission while scanning. If transmission is detected on a channel/talkgroup while scanning, the radio will stop and land on that channel/talkgroup for a preprogrammed period of time after activity has ceased. This is referred to as “hangtime”. During this hangtime you may respond by pressing the PTT button.

Note: The LED scan indicator stops blinking while the radio is in hangtime. If the PTT button is not pressed during the prepro- grammed hangtime, the radio reverts back to scan.
