Tait tm8200 User Manual

Operating in conventional mode 31
Alternatively, the function key programmed for voting may be
programmed so that:
■ a short key press turns on voting, and
■ a long key press activates nuisance delete.
Press and hold the function key programmed for voting to
remove the current channel from the voting group.
If the operation has been successful, the
message Channel deleted from group
appears in the display.
Scanning a group of channels
The scan function is used to monitor a programmed group of
channels, looking for activity. While the radio is scanning for
activity, the amber LED glows and the scanning symbol
appears in the display.
When activity is detected on a channel in the scan group, the
radio stops on that channel. The amber LED begins flashing,
the radio unmutes and you can hear the call. Scanning
resumes once the channel is no longer busy.
The section “Selecting a group” on page 18 explains how to
activate scanning.
Standard and background scanning
The two types of scanning that may be available on your radio
are standard scanning, and background scanning. Back-
ground scan can only be activated by using a function key
programmed for background scan. It differs from standard
scanning in that the channel that was selected when back-
ground scan was activated is also included as a
scan-group member.
Making a call while scanning
If you wish to make a call while your radio is scanning:
1 Lift the microphone off the microphone clip.
2 Press the PTT key to transmit.
3 If the amber LED is flashing, or background scan is active,
your radio will now call the currently selected channel.
