Therefore,ifauserwastransmittingamultiselectcallontalkgroup1808,thescannerwouldactuallyreceivethosetransmissions
on1815.Somecommonusesofthesestatusbitsareasfollows:

Whenauserhitstheiremergencybutton,allconversationsonthetalkgroupreverttotheemergencystatustalkgroup
(ID+2)untilthedispatchclearstheemergencystatus.Therefore,ifsomeonehittheiremergencybuttonandtheirradiowas
ontalkgroup16,allcommunicationswouldswitchtotalkgroup18.

AlotofFireandEMSdepartmentsdispatchtoneoutsandalarmsasMultiselectcommunications(ID+7).Therefore,ifyour
firedepartmentdispatchtalkgroupis1616,andtheydodispatchtoneoutsandalarmsasMultiselects,thenthose
communicationswillbeontalkgroup1623.

TurningOn/OfftheMotorolaDisconnectToneDetectFunction

WhiletrunkingaMotorolasystem,yourscannerautomaticallytunestothedatachannelwhenitdetectsadisconnecttone(acode
thattellsthetrunkingsystemthatthetransmitterhasfinishedsending)onthevoicechannel.Youcannotusethedisconnecttone
detectfunctionifyouareprogrammingatrunkingfrequencyorafleetmap.

Youcanmanuallyturnoffthefunctionsothescannerdoesnottunetothedatachannelunderthoseconditions.Youmightusethis
featuretolistentoweaktransmissionswhenconversationsaregenerallydisconnected.

ToturntheMotoroladisconnecttonedetectfunctionoff,whiletrunkingaMotorolabank,pressE(SVC).Thescannerbeepsand
DATAflashesforabout5secondsandappearsinthedisplay.
ToturntheMotoroladisconnecttonedetectfunctionon,whiletrunkingaMotorolabank,pressE(SVC).DATAdisappearsfromthe
display.

Note:Tosetthescannersoitremainsonthevoicechannel(evenwhenadisconnecttoneistransmittedorthereisno
signalatall)setSQUELCHsoyouhearahissing.
MatchingIDswithTrunkedFrequencies
Contents
YoucanseethetrunkingfrequenciesthattheIDsareusingwhiletrunking.
ToseethecurrenttrunkedfrequencyusingthedisplayedID,whiletrunking,orperforminganEDACSIDsearch,press .The
frequencyflashestwice.
TomatchallthetrunkingfrequencieswiththeirrespectiveIDs,holddown untilaconfirmationtonesoundsandtheIDandthe
frequencyalternatelyappear.Onabusysystem,thiscouldhappenveryfastandmaybeconfusing.Turningonthetrunkingdelay
functionwillgiveyouabetterchanceofseeingthefrequencyandIDalternate.SeeTrunkingDelay.
Toreturntotrunking,press again.
SpecialFeatures

Scan/SearchDelay
Contents
Sometimesausermightpausebeforereplyingtoatransmission.Tohelpmissingareplyonaspecificchannelorfrequency,you
canprograma2seconddelayintoanychanneloranysearch(limit,direct,orservice).Thescannercontinuestomonitorthe
channelorfrequencyforanadditional2secondsafterthetransmissionstopsbeforeresumingscanningorsearchingwhenthe
delayfeatureisturnedon.
SettingthedelayforatrunkingfrequencyhasnoeffectontrunkingorIDs.SeeTrunkingDelay.

Toturnthedelayonoroffforaconventionalchannel:
Ifthedesiredchannelisnotselected,inmanualorprogrammode,selectthechannelthenpressDELAYtoturnthedelayonoroff
fortheselectedchannel.DLYwillappearordisappearinthedisplay.
Ifthescannerisscanningandstopsonanactivechannel,quicklypressDELAYbeforeitcontinuesscanningagain.DLYwill
appearordisappearinthedisplaywhenthechannelisscanned.
Toturnthedelayonoroffforasearchband:
PressDELAYwhilesearchingtoturnthedelayonorofffortheband.DLYappearsordisappearsfromthedisplay.
LockingOutChannels

Youcankeepthescannerscanningbylockingoutchannelsthathaveacontinuoustransmission,suchasaweatherchannel.
Tolockoutachannel,selectthechannelinmanualorprogrammodethenpressS/S(LOUT).L/Oappearsinthedisplay.
