SYSTEM AND GROUP SCAN
39
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 page33), 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:
Last Selected - Transmissions always occur on the system/group that
was last selected by the Select switch. Therefore, the display may not
indicate the system/group on which a response will occur. To respond to a
call not on the selected system/group, one of the following methods can
be used:
•Select the system/group of the call manually using the Select switch.
•Before scanning resumes, exit the scan mode by pressing the SCAN
switch. The system/group of the call then becomes the selected system/
group and it is not necessary to change it manually.
Last Received - The selected system/group changes to the system/group
of a call. Therefore, you can always respond to a call without having to
manually change the system/group. To return to the previously selected
system/group, manually select it using the Select switch.
Temporary Last Received - The system/group changes to the system/
group of a call for only the duration of the scan delay period (see
page 38.) Then when the delay expires and scanning resumes (if it is not
