Scan Lists
Scan lists are created and assigned to individual channels/
groups. Your radio scans for voice activity by cycling through the
channel/group sequence specified in the scan list for the current
channel.
Your radio supports up to 32 scan lists, with a maximum of 16
members in a list. Each scan list shall support a mixture of both
analog and digital entries.
Scan
When you start a scan, your radio cycles through the
preprogrammed scan list for the current channel looking for
voice activity.
The yellow LED blinks and you see the scan icon on the display.
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 types of scans:
• 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.

lights up.
2 Wait for the Talk Permit Tone to finish (if enabled) and speak
clearly into the microphone.
3 Release the PTT button to listen.

(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:
1 When your radio “locks on to” an unwanted or nuisance
channel, press the preprogrammed Nuisance Channel
Delete button until you hear a tone.
2 Release the Nuisance Channel Delete button. The
nuisance channel is deleted.
Restoring a Nuisance Channel
Procedure:

Emergency Operation
An Emergency Alarm is used to indicate a critical situation. You
are able to initiate an Emergency at any time, in any state, even
when there is activity on the current channel.
Your radio supports 3 Emergency Alarms:
• Emergency Alarm
• Emergency Alarm with Call
• Emergency Alarm with Voice to Follow
In addition, each alarm has the following types:
• Regular – Radio transmits an alarm signal and shows audio
and/or visual indicators.
• Silent – Radio transmits an alarm signal without any audio or
visual indicators.
Only one of the Emergency Alarms above can be assigned to
the preprogrammed Emergency button or the Emergency
footswitch.
Procedure:
1 Press the preprogrammed Emergency button or the
Emergency footswitch.
2 The green LED lights up.
3 When an Emergency Alarm acknowledgment is received,
the Emergency tone sounds. The green LED blinks.
OR
If your radio does not receive an Emergency Alarm
acknowledgement, and after all retries have been
exhausted, a low-pitch tone sounds.
4 Radio exits the Emergency Alarm mode.
Sending an Emergency Alarm with Call
This feature allows you send an Emergency Alarm to another
radio. Upon acknowledgement, both radios can communicate
over a preprogrammed Emergency channel.
Procedure:
1 Press the preprogrammed Emergency button or press the

transmits without a PTT press until the hot mic duration
expires.
4 While transmitting, the green LED lights up.
Advanced Features
This feature allows you to send an Emergency Alarm to another
radio. Upon acknowledgement, your radio’s microphone is
automatically activated, allowing you to communicate with the
other radio without pressing the PTT.
This activated microphone state is also known as “hot mic”.
If you press the PTT button during the preprogrammed hot mic
transmission period, the radio ignores the PTT press and
remains in Emergency mode.
NOTE: If you press the PTT button during hot mic, and
continue to press it after the hot mic duration expires,
the radio continues to transmit until you release the
PTT button.
5 Once the hot mic duration expires, the radio automatically
stops transmitting. To transmit again, press the PTT button.
Reinitiating an Emergency Mode
There are two instances where this can happen:
• You change the channel while the radio is in Emergency
mode. This exits the Emergency mode. If Emergency Alarm is
enabled on this new channel, the radio reinitiates Emergency.
• You press the preprogrammed Emergency button during an
Emergency initiation/transmission state. This causes the
radio to exit this state, and to reinitiate Emergency.
