Conventional only:

If the orange indicator is lit, the channel is busy. Wait for the orange indicator to turn off before transmitting.

Trunking only:

If the busy tone sounds, release the PTT (F) and wait for the automatic call back tone. When this tone is heard, press the PTT (F) within 3 seconds to transmit. If your radio is equipped with a time out timer, a warn- ing tone will sound a few seconds before the call is terminated.

Scanning

Scan allows the user to monitor more than one chan- nel or talkgroup (including the selected channel or talkgroup) at a time for activity.

Channels within a scan list may be assigned priority levels as follows:

Priority 1: Most important

Priority 2: Second most important

Non-Priority: Normal scan list member without priority

In scan the radio will listen to the channel/talkgroup with the highest priority. If a channel/talkgroup with a higher priority becomes active while the radio is listen-

ing to a lower priority member, the radio will switch to the higher priority channel/talkgroup.

Note: If the user is involved in a conversation, he will not be interrupted by any normal priority calls.

Turning Scanning On/Off

The scanning feature may be turned on via the Scan button (8) or via a menu as previously described. For as long as “scan on” is selected, the scan icon

( ) will be on and the radio will scan for activity in the channels/talkgroups that are defined in the scan lists of the present mode.

Note: If a mode is pre-programmed with auto- scanning, the radio scans automatically when- ever this mode is selected and scan cannot be turned off.
