FUNCTION- Open Scan & Group/Priority Scan
WHAT IS SCAN?
The scan function allows selected channels to be scanned automatically at 20 channels per 3
seconds. When a signal is detected the scanning will hold on the channel, once the signal is lost the
radio will continue scanning after 3 seconds.
HOW TO SCAN
The scan feature can be enabled by pressing the “(S) BUTTON”. The scan feature will enable the
radio to automatically scan through selected channels at 20 channels per 3 seconds. The direction of
the scan can simply be changed by using the “UP ARROW“ or “DOWN ARROW”. The user can still
transmit on the selected channel at anytime by pressing the “(PTT) BUTTON” on the microphone
handpiece, once the transmission is complete the radio will continue scanning after 20 seconds. To
stop scanning, press the “(S) BUTTON” and the radio will revert back to the current channel.
SELECTING A SCAN OPTION
The RR100A has two scan types, “OS” Open Scan (default) and “GS” Group/Priority Scan
(selectable). To change between OS and GS, press the “(F) BUTTON” four times, SCN will display
on the screen. Press the “UP ARROW“ or “DOWN ARROW” to select “OS” or GS. Once the desired
setting is selected, press and hold the “(F) BUTTON” for 3 seconds to save the setting.
SETTING OPEN SCAN (OS)
Open scan is the default setting on the RR100A and all 80 channels are programmed which is
indicated by a black dot at the top of the LCD in front of the channel number.
To disable a channel from being scanned, select the channel to be disabled, hold the “(S) BUTTON”
for 3 seconds until the dot disappears. This channel will no longer scan. To enable the channel to
scan again, select the channel to be enabled, press and hold the “(S) BUTTON” for 3 seconds until
the dot in front of the channel number reappears. Only channels with a dot at the top of the LCD in
front of the channel number will scan in this mode.
GROUP CHANNEL SCAN (GS) / INSTANT CHANNEL SCAN
Group scan is a selectable option on the RR100A. Group scan allows the user to select a group of
channels to monitor. When the group scan option has been selected, channels need to be chosen to
scan, initially no channels will be selected. To choose which channels will be scanned, press the
“UP ARROW” or “DOWN ARROW” to select a channel. Press and hold the “(S) BUTTON” for 3
seconds until the dot appears. This channel will now scan.
To stop the channel from scanning (if you have already enabled it), select the channel to be disabled,
press and hold the “(S) BUTTON” for 3 seconds until the dot in front of the channel number disap-
pears. Only channels with a dot at the top of the LCD in front of the channel number will scan in this
mode.
NOTE: The instant channel on the radio will also scan during this model every 1.5 seconds. To select
the priority channel (a channel to be monitored regularly), press the “UP ARROW” or
“DOWN ARROW” to select a channel and hold down the “(UP) BUTTON” on the microphone
handpiece until “INST” appears at the top of the LCD. This will now be the instant channel. To dis-
able the instant channel reverse the above procedure on the selected channel and “INST” disappear
from the top of the LCD.
