 Operating in conventional mode  61

Activating in-zone scanning

In-zone scan is turned on using a programmed function 

key. While in-zone scan is active, the radio scans all the 

channels programmed for the zone in which the radio is 

operating. When you change to another zone, in-zone 

scan starts with channels in the new zone.

To turn in-zone scan on:

■

Press the function key.

In-zone scan remains on until either you press the 

function key again, or select a standard or 

background scan group.

Making a call while scanning

If you want to make a call while your radio is scanning:

1

Press the PTT key to transmit.

If the 

 icon is flashing, your radio calls the 

currently selected channel.

If there has been no recent activity on the channel 

(the 

 icon is not flashing), then the channel that is 

called depends on the way your radio has been 

programmed.

The possible options are:

■

your radio calls a predetermined channel e.g. 

your dispatcher

■

your radio calls the channel where activity was 

last detected

■

your radio calls the last free channel.

When the called party responds, proceed with 

your conversation.
