T2020 Operator's Manual 5
To Scan Channels
1 Ensure the microphone is placed on its hook. (Your radio may be programmed to
scan while the microphone is off-hook. Consult your Tait dealer for more
information on this feature.)
2 Channels to be scanned are assembled into groups. Each group is assigned a
channel number and programmed into your radio. Consult your Tait dealer to find
out the number, label and channel contents of each of your scan groups. To start
scan operation, select the appropriate scan group in the same way as selecting an
ordinary channel. The "SCAN" indicator will appear in the display.
3 The radio will now repeatedly scan through all programmed channels searching for
activity. When activity is detected on any channel, scanning will halt and the
display will show the active channel's name. (If signalling options are active in the
radio, only activity with valid signalling tones will halt the scanning.) The radio
will pause and unmute on that channel as long as the traffic remains, and the
"SCAN" indicator will flash. It will resume scanning, after a short delay, once the
traffic disappears.
4 If you wish to reply to a message or make a call when the radio is in scan mode, you
may lift the microphone off its hook at any time to suspend scanning. If the radio
has halted scanning to monitor the traffic on a channel, it will remain on that
channel when you lift the microphone off-hook. If the radio has found no traffic
(i.e. has not halted), it will revert to the preprogrammed home-channel.
5 You may change channel if you wish, but this will cancel the scan mode.
Otherwise, converse in the normal manner and, when finished, place the microphone
back on its hook to restart the scan.
6 Scan mode is cancelled by selecting any of the non-scanning channels. The
"SCAN" indicator will disappear from the display.
