During the scan process, the radio will scan channels in the scan list until signals are found. Then the radio will stay at the channel with signals until the signals disappear. If the time delay between signal disappearance and scan resumption is set, the radio will stay at the current channel even if it receives signals during the time delay. b) Priority Scan: You can select one channel in the scan list as the priority channel, which has the highest priority during the scan. The radio will scan a non-priority channel first, then the priority channel, and then the next non-priority channel, and then the priority channel again, and the scan goes on like this. If the priority channel and the look back time are set for the current scan list, when the radio is receiving signals on a non-priority channel, and the scanning is paused, the radio will check the priority channel at the preset intervals. If there are signals in the priority channel, it will
stay at the priority channel; if there is no signal, it will return to the original channel. c) The revert channel (Tx channel) during the scan can be designated by the dealer. There are following options available: Scan start channel: The radio will transmit signals on the channel for which the scan list applies. Scan start channel + Current channel: If the scan is paused, the radio will transmit on the current communication channel. Otherwise, it will transmit on the channel for which the scan list applies. Priority channel: The radio will transmit on the preset priority channel. Priority channel + Current channel: If the scan is paused, the radio will transmit signals on the current communication channel. Otherwise, the radio will transmit on the priority channel. Last Rx channel: The radio will transmit on the last Rx channel of the scan list. Last Tx channel + Current channel: If the scan is paused, the radio will transmit on the current communication channel. Otherwise, the radio will transmit on the last Tx channel of the scan list. 6.7.2 Nuisance delete If a channel continually generates unwanted noise or interference, the preprogrammed “Nuisance Delete” button can be pressed to remove the channel from the current scan list temporarily. Note: * The priority channel and the last channel in the scan list cannot be deleted. * Quit the scan mode and enter it again, the deleted channel will be added to the scan list again. 6.8 Lone Worker If lone worker function is enabled, press the preprogrammed “Lone Worker” button to enter Lone Worker Mode.
