Kenwood TK-3160 instruction manual Scan

SCAN

Scan is useful for monitoring signals on the transceiver channels. When scanning, the transceiver checks for a signal on each channel and only stops if a signal is present.

The transceiver will remain on a busy channel until the signal is no longer present. Your dealer programs the delay time between signal drop-out and Scan resumption. If a signal is received during the delay time, the transceiver will remain on the same channel.

Note:

◆You can only use Scan if your dealer has programmed at least 2 channels on the transceiver. Also, there must be at least 2 channels not locked out of Scan.

◆Ask your dealer for an explanation on how Channel Scan functions when using 5-Tone or DTMF signalling.

To start scanning, press the key programmed as Scan.

•Scanning starts from the current channel and ascends through the channel numbers.

•The LED flashes green.

•When a signal is received on a channel and signalling matches, the LED indicator lights green.

To end Scan, press the Scan key again.

PRIORITY SCAN

If your dealer set up a Priority channel on your transceiver, the transceiver will automatically change to the Priority channel when a call is received on it, even if a call is being received on a regular channel.

The transceiver will remain on the Priority channel until the signal drops out. Your dealer programs the delay time between signal drop-out and Scan resumption.
