Assign all the systems/sites that you want to scan at the same time. You can use one key [0] to [9] for each. In additional, you can assign the same startup key to the next system or site so that system or site is unlocked at power up. To change a Startup key back to unassigned, enter [.No].

Scanning Systems

To begin scanning preprogrammed or programmed systems, press [SCAN/SEARCH]. The BCD996T scans all unlocked systems in all programmed and activated quick-key groups and any searches unlocked for search with scan.

To enable or disable systems or sites for scanning, press the site/system’s System/Site Quick Key while scanning.

Notes:

•If no systems are programmed, or all systems are locked out, Nothing to Scan appears. Program a system or select a system to scan.

•When scanning multiple systems, the BCD996T scans systems according to the assigned quick key. Systems assigned to quick key 1 are scanned first, then 2, 3, 4, etc. Systems not assigned to a quick key are scanned last, then unlocked searches. Within a quick key, systems are scanned in the order they were assigned.

•Within a system, channels are scanned according to the assigned channel group, with the same priority as described above for systems.

•The BCD996T scans a system for the duration you set using the System Hold Time option (see “Setting the System Hold Time” on Page 70). For trunked systems, the scanner moves to the next system after the hold time expires, the current transmission ends, and the channel delay expires. Conventional systems operate similarly, but all unlocked channels are scanned at least one time regardless of the hold time setting.

•Each search range is searched for the amount of time you set using the “Set Hold Time” option. See “Setting the System Hold Time” on Page 70 for more information.
