INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
CONVENTIONAL RADIO SYSTEMS
Conventional radio systems typically refer to
unit-to-unit communications through a single
channel. Conventional systems also allow
radio users to extend communication coverage
by relaying their messages through a repeater.
To ensure coordinated use by multiple users,
each radio user must monitor the channel or
repeater before transmitting to verify that the
system is not currently busy.

SCAN
Your radio is equipped with the Scan feature,
which allows you to search for, lock onto, and
monitor voice activity on channels. Scan lists
are assigned per channel, by your dealer/
programmer. Your radio automatically switches
to a channel, within that scan list, when it
detects activity. You can also edit these lists
through your radio’s menu (see page 29).
• The green LED indicator blinks during scan
mode; it stops blinking when the radio
switches to an active channel.
•The Gsymbol appears on the display
while in scan mode.
• Your dealer/programmer can preprogram
your radio where if the microphone is taken
off-hook while in Scan mode, the scanning
activity becomes suspended until the
microphone is replaced.
There are two types of Scan available in your
radio:
•System Scan
• Auto Scan
TALKBACK
The Talkback feature allows you to respond to a
transmission while scanning. If transmission is
detected on a channel while scanning, the radio
will stop and land on that channel for a
preprogrammed period of time after activity has
ceased. This is referred to as “hangtime”.
During this hangtime you may respond by
pressing the PTT button.
Note: The LED scan indicator stops blinking
while the radio is in hangtime. If the
PTT button is not pressed after the
preprogrammed hangtime, the radio
