SCAN
Scan is useful for monitoring signals on the transceiver channels. While
scanning, the transceiver checks for a signal on each channel and only stops on a
channel if a signal is present.
To begin scanning, press the key programmed as Scan.
• The icon appears on the display.
• The channels included in the scan list are scanned.
• When a signal is detected on a channel, Scan pauses on that channel. The transceiver
will remain on the busy channel until the signal is no longer present. When the signal
“drops out”, the transceiver will remain on the channel momentarily before Scan
resumes. This delay time is programmed by your dealer. If a signal is received during
the delay time, the transceiver will remain on the same channel.
To stop scanning, press the Scan key again.
Note: In order for Scan to operate, there must be at least 2 channels added to the scanning
sequence. If there are less channels than this, Scan will not operate.
TemporAry chAnnel lockouT
If a key is programmed with the Scan Delete/Add function, each channel can be
locked out of the scan sequence manually.
During scan, you can temporarily remove specific channels from the scanning
sequence by selecting them and pressing the Scan Delete/Add key.
• The icon (right side) no longer appears on the display for that channel.
• The channel is no longer scanned. However, when scanning is ended and restarted, the
channels will reset and the channel will again be in the scanning sequence.
prioriTy ScAn
A Priority channel must be programmed in order for Priority Scan to function.
When using a single Priority channel, the transceiver will automatically change to
the Priority channel when a call is received on it, even if a call is being received
on a normal channel.
When using dual Priority channels, Priority channel 1 is given precedence over
Priority channel 2. So, if a call is received on Priority channel 1 while a call is
already on Priority channel 2, the transceiver will automatically change to Priority
channel 1.
• “ ” appears on the display when the channel is Priority channel 1, “ ” appears when
the channel is Priority channel 2, and “ ” appears when the channel is both Priority
channel 1 and 2.

SIGNALING
quieT TAlk (qT)/ digiTAl quieT TAlk (dqT)
Your dealer may have programmed QT or DQT signaling on your transceiver
channels. A QT tone/ DQT code is a sub-audible tone/code which allows you to
ignore (not hear) calls from other parties who are using the same channel.
When a channel is set up with a QT tone or DQT code, squelch will only open
when a call containing a matching tone or code is received. Likewise, signals that
you transmit will only be heard by parties whose QT/ DQT signaling matches your
transceiver.
If a call containing a different tone or code is made on the same channel you
are using, squelch will not open and you will not hear the call. This allows you
to ignore (not hear) these calls. Although it may seem like you have your own
private channel while using QT/ DQT, other parties can still hear your calls if they
set up their transceiver with the same tone or code.
■ Operator Selectable Tone (OST)
If a key has been programmed with OST, you can reprogram the QT/DQT
settings on each of your channels.
1 Select your desired channel.

rAdio AcceSS number (rAn)
RAN is a new signaling system designed only for digital radio communications.
The operation is the same as the analog QT/ DQT signaling.
When a channel is set up with a RAN, squelch will only open when a call containing
a matching RAN is received. Likewise, signals that you transmit will only be heard
by parties whose RAN signaling matches your transceiver.
If a call containing a different RAN is made on the same channel you are using,
squelch will not open and you will not hear the call. This allows you to ignore (not
hear) these calls.
opTionAl SignAling
Your dealer may also program several types of option signaling for your
transceiver channels.
2-tone Signaling: 2-tone Signaling opens the squelch only when your
transceiver receives a call containing matching 2 tones.
DTMF Signaling: DTMF Signaling opens the squelch only when the transceiver
receives a call containing a matching DTMF code. Refer to “DTMF (DUAL TONE
MULTI FREQUENCY) CALLS” on page 20.
FleetSync Signaling: Refer to “SELCALL (SELECTIvE CALLINg)” on page 17.
