During a dual mode scan, if you are on a digital channel, and
your radio locks onto an analog channel, it automatically
switches from digital mode to analog mode for the duration of
the call. This is also true for the reverse.
There are two ways of initiating scan:
• Main Channel Scan (Manual): Your radio scans all the
channels/groups in your scan list. On entering scan, your
radio may – depending on the settings – automatically start
on the last scanned “active” channel/group or on the channel
where scan was initiated.
• Auto Scan (Automatic): Your radio automatically starts
scanning when you select a channel/group that has Auto
Scan enabled.

Responding to a Transmission During a Scan
Deleting a Nuisance Channel
During scanning, your radio stops on a channel/group where
activity is detected. The radio stays on that channel for a
programmed time period known as “hang time”.
Procedure:
1If the Channel Free Indication feature is enabled, you
hear a short alert tone the moment the transmitting radio
releases the PTT button, indicating the channel is free for
you to respond.
2Press the PTT button during hang time. The green LED
lights up.
3Wait for the Talk Permit Tone to finish (if enabled) and speak
clearly into the microphone.
OR
Wait for the PTT Sidetone to finish (if enabled) and
speak clearly into the microphone.
4Release the PTT button to listen.
5If you do not respond within the hang time, the radio returns
to scanning other channels/groups.
If a channel continually generates unwanted calls or noise
(termed a “nuisance” channel), you can temporarily remove the
unwanted channel from the scan list.
This capability does not apply to the channel designated as the
Selected Channel.
Procedure:
1When your radio “locks on to” an unwanted or nuisance
channel, press the programmed Nuisance Channel Delete
button until you hear a tone.
2Release the Nuisance Channel Delete button. The
nuisance channel is deleted.
Deleting a “nuisance” channel is only possible through the
programmed Nuisance Channel Delete button. This feature is
not accessible through the menu.

Vote Scan
Contacts Settings
Vote Scan provides you with wide area coverage in areas where
there are multiple base stations transmitting identical
information on different analog channels.
Your radio scans analog channels of multiple base stations and
performs a voting process to select the strongest received
signal. Once that is established, your radio unmutes to
transmissions from that base station.
The yellow LED blinks and the vote scan icon appears on the
status bar.
To respond to a transmission during a Vote Scan, follow the
same procedures as Responding to a Transmission During a
Scan on page 27.
Contacts provides “address-book” capabilities on your radio.
Each entry corresponds to an alias or ID that you use to initiate
a call.
Each entry, depending on context, associates with one of four
types of calls: Group Call, Private Call,. PC Call or Dispatch Call
PC Call and Dispatch Call are data-related. They are only
available with the applications. Refer to the data applications
documentation for further details.
NOTE:
If the Privacy feature is enabled on a channel, you can
make privacy-enabled Group Call and Private Call on
that channel. Only target radios with the same Privacy
Key OR the same Key Value and
Key ID as your radio are able to unscramble the
transmission.
See Privacy on page 54 for more information.

Privacy
If enabled, this feature helps to prevent eavesdropping by
unauthorized users on a channel by the use of a softwarebased scrambling solution. The signaling and user identification
portions of a transmission are not scrambled.
Your radio must have privacy enabled on the channel to send a
privacy-enabled transmission, although this is not a necessary
requirement for receiving a transmission. While on a privacyenabled channel, the radio is still able to receive clear
(unscrambled) transmissions.
Your radio only supports Basic Privacy.
To unscramble a privacy-enabled call or data transmission, your
radio must be programmed to have the same Privacy Key as
the transmitting radio.
If your radio receives a scrambled call that is of a different
Privacy Key, you will hear a garbled transmission.
The green LED lights up while the radio is transmitting and
double blinks when the radio is receiving an ongoing privacyenabled transmission.
