GENERAL OPERATION

wide scanning is occurring, radio wide scanning is automatically disabled and vice versa. More information on these modes follows.

Standard Scanning

Standard scanning monitors only channels that are the same type as that currently selected. Therefore, if a conventional channel is selected, only conventional channels are scanned, and if a SMARTNET channel is selected, only SMARTNET channels are scanned. Standard scanning is turned on and off by the Scan option switch as follows. If this switch is not programmed, standard scanning is not available.

To turn standard scanning on, press the Scan option switch. Scanning is enabled when the “S” icon is indicated in the upper left corner of the display and SCAN x (conventional) or SCAN ON (SMARTNET/ SmartZone) is briefly displayed. The “x” is the number of the conven- tional scan list (1, 2, or 3) that is selected. Refer to page 30 for more information.

To turn scanning off, press the Scan option switch again. The “S” icon is then no longer indicated and “SCAN OFF” is briefly displayed.

If the zone or channel is changed while scanning is selected, scanning continues on the same or a different scan list (see scan list information which follows).

Radio Wide Scanning

Radio wide scanning monitors the channels in the preprogrammed radio wide scan list (see page 22). This list may contain up to 16 channels of any type (conventional or SMARTNET/SmartZone) assigned to any zone. Radio wide scanning is turned on and off by the Radio Wide Scan option switch as follows. If this switch is not programmed, radio wide scanning is not available.

To turn radio wide scanning on, press the Radio Wide Scan option

switch. The icon is then displayed continuously and “RWS ON” is displayed briefly.
