Scanning a group of channels
The scan function is used to monitor a programmed group of
channels, looking for activity. While the radio is scanning for
activity, the amber LED glows and the scanning symbol
appears in the display. When activity is detected on a chan-
nel in the scan group, the radio stops on that channel. The
amber LED begins flashing, the radio unmutes and you can
hear the call. Scanning resumes once the channel is no
longer busy.
The section
“Selecting a group” on page 48
explains how to
activate scanning.
Standard and background scanning
The two types of scanning that may be available on your
radio are standard scanning, and background scanning.
Background scan can only be activated by using a function
key programmed for background scan. It differs from stand-
ard scanning in that the channel that was selected when
background scan was activated is also included as a
scan-group member.
Making a call while scanning
If you wish to make a call while your radio is scanning:
1
Lift the microphone off the microphone clip.
2
Press the PTT key to transmit. If the amber LED is flash-
ing, or background scan is active, your radio will now call
the currently selected channel.
