GOVERNMENT LAW PROHIBITS THE OPERATION OF UNLICENSED RADIO TRANSMITTERS WITHIN THE TERRITORIES UNDER GOVERNMENT CONTROL ILLEGAL OPERATION IS PUNISHABLE BY FINE OR IMPRISONMENT OR BOTH REFER SERVICE TO QUALIFIED TECHNICIANS ONLY SAFETY It is important that the operator is aware of and understands hazards common to the operation of any transceiver EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES GASES DUST FUMES etc Turn OFF your transceiver while taking on fuel or while parked in gasoline service stations Do not carry spare fuel containers in the trunk of your vehicle if your transceiver is mounted in the trunk area INJURY FROM RADIO FREQUENCY TRANSMISSIONS Do not operate your transceiver when somebody is either touching the antenna or standing within two to three feet of it to avoid the possibility of radio frequency burns or related physical injury DYNAMITE BLASTING CAPS Operating the transceiver within 500 feet of dynamite blasting caps may cause them to explode Turn OFF your transceiver when in an area where blasting is in progress or where TURN OFF TWO WAY RADIO signs have been posted If you are transporting blasting caps in your vehicle make sure they are carried in a closed metal box with a padded interior Do not transmit while the caps are being placed into or removed from the container One or more of the following statements may be applicable FCC WARNING This equipment generates or uses radio frequency ene
4. Scan Lockout If a programmable auxiliary key is programmed with Scan DEL ADD each system can be locked out of the scan sequence manually The delete indicator will appear in the display when the selected system is locked out Scan Revert You can select revert systems and groups using the System and Group keys Four types of Scan Reverts which can be programmed by your dealer are available Last Called Revert The last system group received is assigned as the new revert system and group Last Used Revert The last system group responded to is assigned as the new revert system and group Selected The last system group selected is assigned as the new revert system and group Selected Talkback If the system group has been changed during Scan the newly selected system group is assigned as the new revert system and group The transceiver talks back on the current receive group GROUP SCAN Group Scan is available for both trunked and conventional systems This feature is useful when more than one group is programmed in a system Group Scan is set by your dealer on request It scans the revert groups as well as groups that are allowed to be scanned When a call is received the group indicator shows the group number and that group becomes the revert group Simply press the PTT switch to respond to the call You can also perform Group Scan while using a priority channel Please contact
