SYSTEM AND GROUP SCAN

Introduction

The scan feature monitors, in sequence, the programmed systems and/or groups in the scan list. When a message is detected that the trans- ceiver is programmed to receive, scanning stops and the message is received. Shortly after the message is complete, scanning resumes (unless it has been disabled).

System Scanning - System scanning detects calls on all systems that are in the system scan list. When system scanning is not used, calls are detected on only the currently selected system.

Group Scanning - Group scanning detects calls on all selectable groups in the current or scanned systems that are in the group scan list. When group scanning is not used, calls are detected on only the currently selected group or if system scanning, on the last selected group of each system.

System and/or group scanning are turned on and off by the SCAN option switch. When system and/or group scanning is enabled by this switch, is indicated in the display (see following illustration). Then when system or group scanning is actually occurring, a scrolling under- line is displayed under each character in the upper line of the display. The microphone must be on-hook for scanning to occur (unless off-hook detection has been disabled by programming).
