Tait TM8105 User Manual - Scanning

14 Basic Operation

Scanning

The scan function is used to monitor a programmed 

group of channels, looking for activity. When activity is 

detected on one of the scan group channels, the radio 

stops on that channel. The amber LED flashes and, if the 

channel signalling is valid, the radio unmutes and you 

can hear the call.

Scanning resumes when the channel is no longer busy or 

the signalling is no longer valid.

Activating Scanning

1. Place the microphone on the microphone clip.

Note: Your radio may be programmed to 

scan whenever the microphone is off the 

microphone clip.

2. Press the function key assigned to scanning. The 

amber LED glows to show that the radio is scanning.

3. Press the scanning function key again to cancel scan-

ning, and the amber LED no longer glows.

Nuisance Delete

If a member channel of the scan group is busy for a long 

time and you do not wish to hear the conversation, you 

can temporarily delete it from the scan group by using 

the function key assigned to nuisance delete.

Alternatively, press and hold the scanning function key. 

When the scan group is next selected, the deleted chan-

nel is again part of the scan group.

Priority Scanning

One or two priority scan channels may be set. These 

channels are scanned more often than other channels 

and are scanned periodically when a non-priority channel 

is busy. Note that priority channels cannot be removed 

from the scan group using the nuisance delete function.
