OTHER FEATURES

System lockout is not available if you have only one selectable system, and group lockout is available only if the selected system is programmed for group scan (see page 25). The lockout status of all systems and groups is maintained when power is turned off.

Scanning Multi-Net Systems

NOTE: For information on Multi-Net and conventional systems, refer to page 29.

When Multi-Net systems are scanned, calls are received on all selectable groups if Group Scan is programmed, and on only the last- selected group if it is not programmed. Your transceiver may also be programmed with fixed groups. Calls on these groups are normally received regardless of system and group scanning.

Scanning Conventional Systems

Group scan is not available with conventional systems. Therefore, calls are received on only the last-selected group of conventional systems. For example, if Groups 1-4 are programmed in a conventional system and Group 2 is the last selected or displayed group in that system, Group 2 is the only group on which calls are received in that system.

If a group is programmed with Call Guard squelch, only messages intended for you will be detected on that group while scanning. However, if Call Guard squelch is not programmed or is disabled by the monitor mode selected by the Auxiliary switch, any message occurring on that group will be heard. Refer to “CONVENTIONAL MODE OPERATION” on page 30 for more information.
