■ System up/down

When the key is pressed each time, the system number

to be selected is incremented/decremented and repeats if
held for one second or longer.

the telephone line).

■ None

Sounds error operation beep, and no action will occur.

The twelve-character dot matrix alphanumeric display
shows the system and group numbers. You can program
system and group names with up to ten characters in
place of these numbers. The left display is used as a de-
lete indicator (

) and the right is used for the selective

call (

) or scrambler ( _ ) function. The delete/add indica-

tor shows the systems locked out of the scanning se-
quence. Selective call and scrambler are optional func-
tions that can be programmed.

System scan can be selected with the “Scan” key by pro-

gramming the scan feature. When the “Scan” key is
pressed and the “SCN”’ mark appears, scan mode in en-
tered. Scanning starts from the system following the cur-
rently displayed system. When a call is received, scanning
stops, and the system and group are displayed.

When the system knob or programming key is touched

during scanning, the scan stops and the revert system or
group can be changed. Scanning resumes one second after
the key is released.

System scan consists of the following 2 types.

■ Fix system scan

All the set systems except locked-out ones are scanned.

If the DEL/ADD feature is assigned to the programmable
key, it can be controlled from the front panel.

■ List type system scan

A scan list can be set for each system.
The list to be scanned can be changed by changing the

display system.

If many system have been set, the scan speed can be

increased by narrowing the systems to be scanned with
scan lists.

The system lockout feature is used to lock systems out

of the scan sequence, and can be selected by programming
in the following two ways:

■ Fixed lockout

The system to be locked out is selected by programming.

When a locked system is selected, the Delete (

) indicator

appears on the left of the SYSTEM indicator. The revert sys-
tem is scanned even if it is locked out. If there is a locked
system, the Delete (

) indicator flashes during fixed scan-

ning.

■ User selectable lockout

If the scan lockout feature is programmed to a key, the

user can lock systems out of the scan sequence with the
key. To lock a system out of the scan sequence, press the
key when the system is displayed. The Delete (

) indicator

is displayed on the left of the SYSTEM indicator.

displays various functions, such as TA.

The P indicator (

) appears when a selected channel is

programmed as priority, in conventional operation.

The MON indicator appears when the button pro-
grammed as MONITOR is pressed.

This icon is not used on this transceiver.

The SCN indicator appears when using Scan mode.
