Motorola Solutions Inc. 89FT3833 Manuel D’Utilisation

When you start a scan, your radio cycles through the 
programmed scan list for the current channel looking for voice 
activity.The LED blinks yellow.

During a dual mode scan, if you are on a digital channel, and 
your radio locks onto an analog channel, it automatically 
switches from digital mode to analog mode for the duration of 
the call. This is also true for the reverse.

There are two types of scans: 

Main Channel Scan (Manual): Your radio scans all the 
channels/groups in your scan list. On entering scan, your 

radio may – depending on the settings – automatically start 

on the last scanned “active” channel/group or on the channel 

where scan was initiated.

Auto Scan (Automatic): Your radio automatically starts 
scanning when you select a channel/group that has Auto 

Scan enabled.

NOTE: This feature is not applicable in Capacity Plus and 

Linked Capacity Plus.

Procedure: 

Press the programmed Scan button.
OR
Use the Channel Selector Knob to select a channel with 
Auto Scan enabled.

When Scan is enabled, the LED blinks yellow and you hear 
a positive indicator tone.
OR
When Scan is disabled, the LED turns off and you hear a 
negative indicator tone.

During scanning, your radio stops on a channel/group where 
activity is detected. The radio stays on that channel for a 
programmed time period known as “hang time”.

Hold the radio vertically 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.0 cm) from 
your mouth.

If the Channel Free Indication feature is enabled, you 

will hear a short alert tone the moment the transmitting radio 
releases the PTT button, indicating the channel is free for 
you to respond.
