![8RECEIVINGSelect the desired zone and channel. If signaling has been programmed on the selected channel, you will hear a call only if the received signal matches your transceiver settings.Note: Signaling allows your transceiver to code your calls. This will prevent you from listening to unwanted calls. Refer to “SIGNALING” on page XX for details. ■ Receiving Group Calls (Digital) When you receive a group call on a Conventional channel and the received group ID matches the ID set up on your transceiver, you can hear the caller’s voice. When you receive a group call on a Trunking channel, the transceiver automatically switches to the communications channel to receive the call.■ Receiving Individual Calls (Digital) When you receive an individual call, a ringing tone will sound and the caller’s ID will appear on the display (types I and II only). To respond to the call, press and hold the PTT switch and speak into the transceiver as you would during a normal transmission.SCANScan monitors for signals on the transceiver channels. While scanning, the transceiver checks for a signal on each channel and only stops if a signal is present.To begin scanning, press the key programmed as [Scan].• The indicator appears.• When a signal is detected on a channel, Scan pauses at that channel. The transceiver will remain on the busy channel until the signal is no longer present, at which time Scan resumes.To stop scanning, press the [Scan] key again.Note: To use Scan, there must be at least 2 channels in the scan sequence.TEMPORARY CHANNEL LOCKOUTDuring scan, you can temporarily remove specific channels from the scanning sequence by selecting them and pressing the key programmed as [Scan Delete/Add].• The channel is no longer scanned. However, when scanning is ended and restarted, the channels are reset and deleted channels will again be in the scanning sequence.PRIORITY SCANIf a Priority channel has been programmed, the transceiver will automatically change to the Priority channel when a call is received on that channel, even if a call is being received on a normal channel.• The indicator appears when the selected channel is the Priority channel (depending on dealer setting).](https://usermanual.wiki/JVCKENWOOD/431200/User-Guide-1788475-Page-13.png)
![9SCAN REVERTThe Scan Revert channel is the channel selected when you press the PTT switch to transmit during scan. Your dealer can program one of the following types of Scan Revert channels:• Selected: The last channel selected before scan.• Selected + Talkback: Same as “Selected”, plus you can respond to calls on the channel at which scan is paused.• Priority: The Priority channel.• Priority + Talkback: Same as “Priority”, plus you can respond to calls on the channel at which scan is paused.• Last Called + Selected: The last channel on which you receive a call.SCAN DELETE/ADDYou can add and remove zones and/or channels/group IDs to and from your scan list.1 Select your desired zone and/or channel/group ID.2 Press the key programmed as [Zone Delete/Add] (to add/remove zones) or [Scan Delete/Add] (to add/remove channels/group IDs).• You can also press and hold the key programmed as [Scan Delete/Add] to add/remove zones.• When a channel/Group ID is added to scan, the icon appears on the display.• When a zone is added to scan, the icon appears on the display.](https://usermanual.wiki/JVCKENWOOD/431200/User-Guide-1788475-Page-14.png)

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. Operator Selectable Tone 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.2 Press and hold the key programmed as [OST] for 1 second.3 Press the / key to select your desired tone or code.• Your dealer can set up to 40 tones/codes.4 When you have finished operating using OST, press the [OST] key again to turn the OST function OFF.](https://usermanual.wiki/JVCKENWOOD/431200/User-Guide-1788475-Page-19.png)
![15■ Radio Access Number (RAN) RAN is a new signaling system designed for digital radio communications. When a channel is set up with a RAN, squelch will only open when a call containing a matching RAN is received. If a call containing a different RAN is made on the same channel you are using, you will not hear the call. This allows you to ignore (not hear) calls from other parties who are using the same channel.■ Optional Signaling Your dealer may also program several types of optional 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. FleetSync Signaling: Refer to “SELCALL (SELECTIVE CALLING)” on page XX. NXDN ID Signaling: NXDN ID is an optional signaling system available only for digital communications.MONITOR/ SQUELCH OFFYou can use the key programmed as [Monitor] or [Squelch Off] to listen to weak signals that you cannot hear during normal operation and to adjust the volume when no signals are present on your selected channel.• The icon appears on the display while Monitor or Squelch Off is activated.Your dealer can program a key with one of four Monitor/Squelch Off functions:• Monitor: Press to deactivate QT, DQT, DTMF, 2-tone, or FleetSync Signaling. Press again to return to normal operation.• Monitor Momentary: Press and hold to deactivate QT, DQT, DTMF, 2-tone or FleetSync Signaling. Release to return to normal operation.• Squelch Off: Press to hear background noise. Press again to return to normal operation.• Squelch Off Momentary: Press and hold to hear background noise.

![17BACKGROUND OPERATIONSTIME-OUT TIMER (TOT) The Time-out Timer prevents you from using a channel for an extended duration. If you continuously transmit for a preset time, the transceiver will stop transmitting and an alert tone will sound. Release the PTT switch.AUXILIARY PORTPress the key programmed as [AUX A] or [AUX B] to activate the auxiliary port. The auxiliary port is used with optional boards.• The icon appears on the display when the auxiliary A port is active.• The icon appears on the display when the auxiliary B port is active.BUSY CHANNEL LOCKOUT (BCL)If BCL is set up by your dealer, you will be unable to transmit if the channel is already in use.• “BUSY” appears on the display when you press the PTT switch. Use a different channel or wait until the channel becomes free.If your dealer has programmed BCL Override for your transceiver, you can override the BCL by pressing the PTT switch again, immediately after releasing it, when the channel is busy.CONTROL CHANNEL HUNTOn digital Trunking channels, the transceiver automatically searches for a control channel.• While searching for a control channel, the antenna icon will flash (types I and II only) and no signals can be received.PTT IDPTT ID is the transceiver unique ID code which is sent each time the PTT switch is pressed and/or released.COMPANDERIf programmed by your dealer for a channel, the compander will remove excessive noise from transmitted signals, providing higher clarity of signals.TRANSMIT POWERYour dealer has programmed a transmit power level for each channel. Power levels can be high, medium, or low.](https://usermanual.wiki/JVCKENWOOD/431200/User-Guide-1788475-Page-22.png)
