16 Basic Operation
Press the monitor key again to reactivate RF
squelch.
Muting an External Device
Your radio may be fitted with the ability to mute
another device, such as a car stereo, so that received
or transmitted messages are heard.
Scanning and
Voting
Groups
A series of channels may be grouped together so
that the radio can scan through them looking for
activity. When a busy channel is detected in a group
and the signaling is valid (see “What You Hear on a
Channel” on page 14), the
SCAN
indicator flashes,
and the radio stops on that channel. The name of
the captured channel is then displayed, rather than
the group name, and you can now hear the trans-
mission. Scanning resumes when the channel is no
longer busy or the signaling is no longer valid.
You may be able to change the channels included in
your group (see “Programmable Scanning and Vot-
ing Groups” on page 42).
Activating Scan Mode
1. Place the microphone on the microphone clip.
Note: Your radio may be programmed
to scan whenever the microphone is off
the microphone clip. Check with the
person who programmed your radio.
2. Select the required group the same way as you
select a channel (see “Selecting a Channel” on
page 11). The group name and
SCAN
indicator
are shown in the control head display.
