Group and priority scans

Group and priority scans repeatedly watch a priority channel while scanning only specified channels. This is useful when waiting for calls on the priority channel or several specified channels.

Group and priority scans behave differently when transmit- ting. During group scan, transmission is possible on a busy channel only. During priority scan, transmission is possible on a priority channel (or start channel) only.

SCAN OPERATION 4

Scan tag must be set before starting scan. Tag channels are independently set for open, group and priority scan.

qSelect the desired channel.

wPush [O/G] to select the desired scan type.

ePush [SCN] for 2 sec. to set the channel as a tag channel.

- “X” appears for tag channels.

rRepeat step e to cancel the tag channel setting.

qPush [O/G] to select open scan.

- Cancelling tag channels speeds up the scan interval.

rWhen receiving a signal, scan pauses and resumes ac- cording to the selected scan resume condition. (p. 10)
