Section VI
The SCAN Feature
The SCAN feature allows you to monitor activity on multiple Talkgroups. This
allows you to change your Zone/Talkgroup for another conversation while still
monitoring your HOME Talkgroup or other designated Talkgroups.
NOTE: You may miss activity on your selected Talkgroup while you are listen-
ing to a call on a scanned Talkgroup (for example, Private Call, Talkgroup Call,
Page, etc.).
The District policy for use of the SCAN feature is as follows:
• All non-Line-Department users will have radios programmed to scan their
A-1 and maybe A-2 user-selected Talkgroups.
• Operations and Everett Line Crew radios will be programmed to scan A-2,
ECC-2 EV-EA, and B-2 Everett.
•All local area office mobile radios will be programmed to scan the appropri-
ate ECC Talkgroup (ECC-1 for North, ECC-2 for Everett and East, or ECC-3
for South), and the office Talkgroup [Arlington (B-1), Monroe (B-4),
Snohomish (B-5), South County (B-6), or Stanwood (B-7)].
Any deviations from this scan policy must be approved through your supervi-
sor. Please note that scanning too many Talkgroups can cause confusion and
missed radio calls.
If you are temporarily assigned to another local office or crew outside your
normal working area, you may change your SCAN feature to correspond with
your new workgroup (see Programming the SCAN Feature below). You are re-
quired to change the SCAN feature to its original configuration upon return to
your normal workgroup.
