SCAN
Your radio is equipped with the Scan feature,
which allows you to search for, lock onto, and
monitor voice activity on trunked talkgroups
and conventional channels.
There are five types of Scan available in your
radio:
• Auto Group Scan
• All Group Scan
• PassPort Primary Auto Scan
• Passport Group Scan
• System Scan
The table below summarizes the Scan types
available in each zone type.
Shaded areas indicate that Scan can be
enabled through a programmable button (see
page 22) or through your radio menu.
TALKBACK
When activity is detected during any type of
scan, scanning stops and the active talkgroup
or channel appears and remains on the display
until scanning resumes. Your dealer can
program the amount of time you can respond
(or “TALKBACK”) to the caller before your radio
resumes scanning.
You must press the PTT button to participate in
the call; otherwise, scanning continues to the
other talkgroups or channels.

PASSPORT PRIMARY AUTO
GROUP SCAN
PassPort Primary Auto Group Scan
automatically scans the primary (first)
talkgroup within the selected PassPort zone.
Any time you are positioned on a PassPort
talkgroup other than the first one, your radio
automatically scans activity on the first
talkgroup within that zone.
Note: This feature is enabled AUTOMATICALLY
with your radio. It is not enabled through
the radio menu or through a prepro-
grammed scan button.
PASSPORT GROUP SCAN G
(PASSPORT TRUNKED OPERATION ONLY)
PassPort Group Scan scans talkgroups within
the selected Passport trunked zone, as
programmed by your dealer. Up to 16 different
talkgroups can be programmed into each Scan
list, with one Scan list assigned to each position
on the Zone Selector knob. You can edit these
Scan lists through your radio’s menu (see page
60).
When PassPort Group Scan is Enabled
•The G symbol appears on the display.
•The LED indicator blinks green during
PassPort Group Scan operation; it stops
blinking when the radio switches to an
active talkgroup or channel.
Note:
•PassPort Group Scan is not available when
registered on a non-home site.
•If you switch to another PassPort zone, LTR,
or conventional zone while the radio is scan-
ning, scanning resumes upon return to the
PassPort zone where PassPort Group Scan
was enabled.
•If the radio is turned off while scanning, the
radio resumes scanning when you turn it back
on. If the radio registers on a non-home site,
scanning is not enabled until the radio regis-
ters at its home site.

SETTING THE POWER LEVEL B
Each channel in your radio has a predefined
transmit power level that can be changed.
•High power (S) allows you to reach a radio
that is farther away.
•Low power (R) conserves the battery’s
charge.
•Auto power (conventional operation only)
automatically sets the optimal power level
based on the strength of the signal
received. If the received signal is weak, the
transmit level will be set to high, and vice-
versa.
Note:
•Be aware that a message received from a
nearby radio might change your radio’s
power level to low. This may cause radios
that are farther away not to receive your
transmissions.
•In PassPort mode, the power level is pre-
defined radio wide.
