13.4.1 Adding Channels To A Scan List
1. With scan operation turned OFF select the desired channel to add to the selected conventional
system channel scan list.
2. Press < or > on the SCAN add/delete control. The current status will be displayed in
column 1 of line 1 for a time-out period. Press < to add the channel to the scan list. S is
displayed on the line. This sets the selected channel for non-priority scanning. A second press
of < sets the channel for Priority 2 (P2) scanning and 2 is displayed on line 1. An
additional press of < sets the channel for Priority 1 (P1) scanning and 1 is displayed on line
1. If the P1 or P2 channels are already set and a new channel is then assigned as the P1 or P2
channel, the previously assigned priority channel will change to non-priority scanning. The
priority setting selection sequence is set and stops at P1, therefore the channel must be deleted
from the scan list by pressing > before the channel is set to a previous priority setting. Any
channel that is in a system's channel scan list will show S, 2, or 1 for the time-out period
when it is the selected channel.
13.4.2 Deleting Channels From A Scan List
1. With scan operation turned OFF select the desired channel to delete from the selected
conventional system's channel scan list.
2. Press < or > on the SCAN add/delete control. The current status is displayed for a time-
out period. Press > to delete the channel from the scan list. S, 2, or 1 will turn OFF. Any
channel that is not in a conventional system channel scan list will show a "blank" for the
time-out period when it is the selected channel.
13.4.3 Nuisance Delete
A channel can also be deleted from the scan list, if it is not the currently selected channel, by
pressing > twice during scan operation while the radio is displaying the unwanted channel. The
channel will be deleted from the conventional system's channel scan list in the same manner as if
done using the steps above. Deletions done in this manner will not remain deleted if the radio is
turned OFF and then back ON.
13.5 TURNING SCAN ON
1. Toggle the scan operation ON by pressing k. The SCAN indicator will turn ON when the
radio is scanning.
Scanning will stop while the microphone is off-hook if the hookswitch feature is enabled
through programming.
2. When a channel on the scan list receives a channel assignment, the radio unmutes on the assigned
channel, BSY indicator comes ON and the received scan channel is displayed.
The radio will continue scanning if a new channel is selected when scan is ON.
