SYSTEM AND GROUP SCAN

“Off” is selected, they are no longer saved. Therefore, to store a list, select “On”, program the list, then select “Off”. Then when power is turned on, the scan list returns to the state that existed when “Off” was selected.

If the menu SCN SAVE parameter is not selectable, the scan list save mode is fixed by programming. If “On” is programmed, all changes are saved and no change occurs in the scan lists when power is cycled. If “Off” is programmed, they are not saved and the scan list reverts to the default status when power is cycled.

Scan Delay and Continue Timers

When a message is received or transmitted while scanning, there is a short delay before scanning resumes. The delay after receiving a call prevents another message from being received before a response can be made. Likewise, the delay after transmitting a call ensures that you hear a response to your call instead of another message occurring on some other system or group. Note that scanning does not resume if it has been disabled, such as by taking the microphone off-hook.

There is also a scan continue timer that may be programmed. This timer controls the maximum time that a call is received before scanning resumes. Times up to 60 seconds can be programmed. This prevents scanning from being delayed for long periods by lengthy calls. If the menu SCN CONT parameter is selectable (see page 32), this feature can be turned on and off.

Transmitting In The Scan Mode

General

When a message is received in the scan mode, programming deter- mines if the selected system/group does not change or changes perma- nently or temporarily to that of the call. This then affects the system/ group on which a response to the message occurs and also the system/ group that is selected when the scan mode is exited by pressing the SCAN switch. The three programmable configurations are as follows:
