The default emergency and emergency-capable talk groups can be locked out if they are NOT in an
emergency state. If a talk group is locked out and is subsequently changed to the currently selected talk
group, it will automatically be unlocked by the radio so the user can hear calls on the talk group. The
radio may be configured so all talk groups are automatically locked out by default. In this case, they must
be manually unlocked, if desired.

7.24.1 Lock Out a Talk Group

1. Use to scroll through the menu until “LockOutMenu” appears in the bottom line of the
display. The name of a talk group in the currently active profile will appear in the top line.
2. Use to scroll through the list of talk groups, if any, until the desired talk group for lock out
appears in the top line of the display.
3. Press the MENU button to lockout the displayed talk group. A less than symbol (<) appears next to
the talk group’s name.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3, as needed, to lockout additional talk groups.
The dwell display will re-appear a few seconds after button presses end.
While scrolling through talk groups in the active profile, the only talk groups that appear in the
“LockOutMenu” are those in the active profile.

7.24.2 Unlock a Talk Group

1. Use to scroll through the menu until “LockOutMenu” appears in the bottom line of the
display. The name of a talk group in the currently active profile will appear in the top line.
2. Use to scroll through the list of talk groups, if any, until the talk group desired for unlocking
appears in the top line of the display. A less-than symbol (“<”) appears next to the name of a talk
group that is currently locked out.
3. Press the MENU button to unlock the talk group. The less-than symbol (“<”) next to the name of the
talk group disappears. The dwell display appears as soon as the radio acknowledges the selection.
• Changing the active profile removes any lockouts you have made.
• Turning off the radio removes any lockouts you have made.

7.25 SCANNING

Three scanning modes are available for the radio, but only one can be active at any time. Changing the
scanning mode changes the way the radio scans voice calls for all of profiles in the radio personality, no
matter which profile is or becomes active.
As described in Table 7-6, the choice of scanning mode changes the span of communications with all the
talk groups in the radio’s profiles, but does not affect interaction with the talk groups.
