LAND MOBILE RADIOHL-1500 SERIES LAND MOBILE RADIOHL-1500 SERIES1615Additional Channel Scan Instructions (1) Channel Scan OrderThere are two kinds of channel scans: Priority Scan Channel and GeneralScan Channel. General Scan Channel is a channel that is used to commu-nicate on, but is not an essential communication channel. Priority ScanChannel is a channel that is of more importance and is frequently used tocommunicate on. If no Priority channel has been assigned, the radio willscan all general channels programmed by starting with the first channel andfinishing with the last channel. Once a priority channel has been assigned,the radio will scan two general channels followed by the priority channel.(General Scan Channel 1 - General Scan Channel 2 - Priority Channel 1 -followed by the next two general channels.) If two Priority Scan Channelsare assigned, the radio will scan two general channels then the prioritychannel 1, followed by the next two general channels, then priority channel2: (General Scan Channel 1 - General Scan Channel 2 - Priority Channel 1- Channel 3 - General Scan Channel 4 - Priority Channel 2 - followed by thenext two general channels.)ExampleAs previously mentioned, there are two kinds of channel scans: PriorityScan Channel and General Scan Channel. For example, the radio is programmed to receive and transmit on tenchannels. Of these channels, two Priority Scan Channels are assigned;Priority Scan Channel 1 is assigned to Channel 5 and Priority ScanChannel 2" is assigned to channel 6. Therefore, the channel scan willoccur as follows. (For additional information, please refer to How to Register Channels forChannel Scan on Page 18.) priority scan channel 1priority scan channel 2priority scan channel 1priority scan channel 2general scan channel7) VOX MODE This function is for automatic voice operatedtransmission system similar to "Hands Free".Select the VOX Mode by pressing the"Function" button 7 times.

Oncethe unit is set for VOX mode, a specialEAR/MIC accessory is required for the radio tooperate. (The MIC is not functional in VOXMode.) If no buttons are pressed within 5 sec-onds after selecting functions, the screen willrevert to the main display. If general communi-cation using the PTT button is desired, enter theVOX mode function and select the OFF feature.8) Setting VOX Levels This function selects the desired sensitivity (9Levels) to activate the VOX circuit.Select the VOX Mode by pressing the "Function"button 8 times. The icon " " will begin flashing.Select the VOX level desired by pressing theUp/Down buttons. Pressing the PTT buttonsaves the selected level and exits the functionmode.Operation Additional Instruction of Scan Channel Select the VOX mode press-ing the 'Function' button 7times.

18Additional Instruction of Scan ChannelLAND MOBILE RADIOHL-1500 SERIES17 Additional Instruction of Scan ChannelLAND MOBILE RADIOHL-1500 SERIES(2) Receive and Transmit During Scanning ChannelIf there is a signal reception and transmission during scanning chan-nel, scanning will be stopped at the channel. At this time, you cantransmit according to the transmit type by pressing the PTT.(3) How to Transmit During ScanningTo transmit during scan, simply press PTT.1. Tranmit is only allowed on the Home Channel.2. Transmit occurs on the last channel received.3. Transmits occurs on the channel from which scan was initiated.(4) Progress the Channel ScanWhen the radio catches any signals, scanning will be stopped onthat channel for about 2 seconds, and resume scanning from thenext channel. If the scanning stops on the channel that you detectand if you want to keep scanning after communication, press the"Up" button to resume scanning to the next channel.(5) Temporary Deletion Channel on ScanningYou can delete a scanned channel temporarily if there are manychannels you want to scan. Press the "Down" button when scanstops on the unwanted channel. It will be then deleted temporarily.Restarting scan will restore the deleted channel into the scan list.You can register the channel which you want to scanamong the channels in the radio as using the exter-nal PC program or through the registration mode ofthe scan channel in the radio.There are three dealer programmable transmit types.(See the registration and cancellation of the scanchannel in a special mode.)* How to Register the Scan ChannelAlpha-Numeric Display1. You can set the display channel name using PC programmer.Ex) CH-001 > SHOP2. Usable character: A~Z(Capital/small letters),1 to 0,Special letters on the Key board3. This is changing the channel name from "CH-001" to perhaps "SHOP".4. This would probably use a lot of available memory of the radio.5. The number of available channels could be reducedto compensate.Quick Call IIIf the dealer has programmed the radio for Quick Call,the function button acts to enable/disable the function.Pressing and holding the function button for more than 3 seconds will toggle it either on or off. This function only works if enabled by the dealer.* Note :
