Motorola EX500 Starting or Stopping a Scan Operation, Talkback, Deleting a Nuisance Channel

SCAN

You can monitor several channels in order to receive any call that is transmitted on any of these channels. Sixteen different channels can be programmed into a scan list. Each channel can share the same scan list or have different scan lists assigned to them.

Once the radio’s scan operation is activated and the radio detects a call coming through a channel in its scan list, it switches to that channel for you to receive the call.

STARTING OR STOPPING A SCAN OPERATION

The LED Indicator will blink (green) during a scan operation. It will stop blinking when the radio switches to a channel.

1Press the Scan button (see page 17) to start a scan operation.

2Press the Scan button again to stop the scan operation.

TALKBACK

If the programmable Talkback option is set, you can respond to any calls received during the scan operation by pressing the PTT button before the programmed hang-time ends. Check with your dealer for details.

DELETING A NUISANCE CHANNEL

If a channel continually generates unwanted calls/noise, you can temporarily remove it from the scan list by performing a Nuisance Channel Delete operation.

1While the radio is on the Nuisance Channel, press and hold the Scan button (see page 17) until you hear a tone.

2Release the Scan button.

Note: You cannot perform a Nuisance Chan- nel Delete on a priority channel or if there is only one remaining channel in the scan list.
