HH7700-MSOP 3-53: Radio OperationMemory ScanMore than 1 channel must be assigned to the memory scan list for scanning to take place. Scanning can be viewed in channel mode or frequency mode. 1. Turn the Channel knob to the F position.2. Press SCAN. The radio scans the memory list in a continuous loop at a speed set in the Programmer (from 50 ms to 120 ms). The example below shows an uninterrupted Memory scan (no activity detected).
3-6 HH7700-MSOP3: Radio OperationWhen a signal is detected on a channel, the monitor icon is displayed, the channel or frequency flashes and activity on the channel is heard. Scanning pauses for 5 seconds unless tone decoding is enabled on some or all channels causing the scan rate to slow down as the radio decides whether or not there is something worth listening to. When the signal ends or 5.0 seconds is up, scanning resumes.3. Press SCAN again to stop scanning.Dual Watch ScanDual watch has two functions and is dependent on how the channel knob is positioned. It is setup as follows:To scan all assigned channel frequencies with a priority channel:1. Turn the channel knob to the F position.2. Press DUAL WATCH.The radio begins to scan all of the channels that have assigned frequencies at a speed set in the Programmer (from 50 ms to 120 ms). In the example below, channels 1, 5 and 6 are the only Channel PositionDescriptionFScanning alternates between all channels that are assigned to a frequency and a programmed priority channel. This function does not work if the assigned Priority channel is also a Preset channel. 1 to 15  Scanning alternates between the chosen Preset channel and the programmed Priority channel. This function does not work if the chosen Preset channel is also a Priority channel.
HH7700-MSOP 3-73: Radio Operationprogrammed frequencies and channel 12 is the priority channel. After scanning the priority channel, the scan cycle continues with channel 1.When a signal is detected on a channel, the monitor icon is displayed, the channel or frequency flashes and activity on the channel is heard. Scanning pauses for 5 seconds unless tone decoding is enabled on some or all channels in which case the scan rate slows down as the radio decides whether or not there is something worth listening to.When the signal ends or 5.0 seconds is up, scanning resumes.3. Press DUAL WATCH again to stop scanning.Note: If the radio finds something of interest on a non-priority channel, it continues to monitor the priority channel. If the radio finds something of interest on a priority channel, it stays there. If something of interest is found on both a non-priority and priority channel, the radio stays on the priority channel.
3-8 HH7700-MSOP3: Radio OperationTo scan a Preset channel with a Priority channel:1. Turn the channel knob to one of the Preset channels (1 to 15).2. Press DUAL WATCH.The radio begins to scan the radio looking for the Preset channel and the Priority channel (setup using the Programmer) to monitor. In the example below, the Preset channel is 5 and the priority channel is 1. When a signal is detected on a channel, the monitor icon is displayed, the channel or frequency flashes and activity on the channel is heard.Scanning pauses for 5 seconds unless tone decoding is enabled on some or all channels in which case the scan rate slows as the radio decides whether or not there is something worth listening to.When the signal ends, or 5.0 seconds is up, scanning resumes.3.

Power Save FeatureIf no transmission or reception has occurred for 5 seconds, the receiver switches from continuously on to periodically turning on and off based on whether and how the radio is programmed. By reducing the amount of time the receiver is on, battery life is extended. The power save feature is set by the Programmer as follows.•Battery Save On Timer: Set to Disable or 200 ms to 1000 ms, at 50 ms increments• Battery Save Off Timer: Set to 100 ms to 500 ms, at 50 ms increments.With this feature enabled, up to 500 ms of an incoming message can be missed so in some cases the sender may have to repeat the call. However, the resulting increase in battery life is usually worth this inconvenience.
