In addition, dual-timeslot communication can ensure smooth and realtime communication even in peak time.Hybrid ChannelYou can set a hybrid channel for your PH400 to receive digital or analog signals.Scanning ListYou can create a scanning list and allocate it to a single channel or a call group. Your PH400 can check whether there are voice activities on the current channel or in the current call group by cyclically scanning the channels and call groups in the list. Your PH400 can support up to 10 scanning list and each list consists of up to 16 members.ScanningWhen you enable scanning, your PH400 check whether there are voice activities on the current channel by cyclically scanning the pre-programmed scanning list.The LED indicator flashes orange.Automatic scanning: The PH400 starts to scan automatically after you select an active channel or call group with automatic-scanning enabled.Starting and Stopping ScanningProcedure:1. Start or stop scanning by pressing the pre-programmed scanningkey or selecting a channel with a pre-programmed scanning listwith the channel selection knob.2. When scanning is started, the LED indicator flashes orange. Whenscanning is stopped, the LED indicator is off.Transmitting a Response During ScanningDuring scanning, your PH400 stays on the active channel or in the active call group detected. The duration when the PH400 stays on the channel is called the pre-programmed time limit of the “idle time”.Procedure:1. During the idle time, press the PTT key and talk to the microphoneafter the LED indicator is red on.2. Release the PTT key to receive the call.3. If you do not send a response, the PH400 starts to scan otherchannels or call groups.Sending a Pre-edited Short MessageYou can send a pre-edited short message with a pre-programmed key.Procedure:1. Press the pre-programmed shortcut key to send a pre-edited shortmessage to a pre-defined ID. Up to 10 pre-edited short messagescan be set on the PH400.2. The LED indicator red on.3. If two prompt tones are heard, it indicates that the short message issuccessfully sent. If one low tone is heard, it indicates that the shortmessage fails to be sent.Setting a Power LevelYou can set the power level of each channel to low or high.A high power level is used for the communication between the PH400 and a remote portable radio. A low power level is used for the communication between the PH400 and a near portable radio.Procedure:1. Press the pre-programmed power level key.2. If the PH400 beeps once, it indicates that high power is transmitted.If the PH400 beeps twice, it indicates that low power is transmitted.1234567 8 9 10 11PTT KeyEach channel in the PH400 can be individually configured as a digital/analog channel.•During a call, the PTT key can allow the PH400 to transmit signalsto other portable radios in the call.
