Scan Lists
Priority and Radio Wide Scan lists can be programmed.
Note
With scan disabled by programming, the user can reset the scan lists to their default
programmed state. Pressing and holding the Scan Edit button allows the user to access the
feature. “RSET LISTS” (Standard Control Head) or “Reset Lists” (Lightning Control
Head) will be displayed. Pressing the select key will reset the lists and “LISTS RSET”
(Standard Control Head) or “Lists Reset” (Lightning Control Head) will be temporarily
displayed before returning the user to the main display. Selecting Exit will return the user
to the main display without reverting the scan lists. Pressing and holding Scan Edit while
scan is on will result in a “tone bad” beep. This shall only be accessible through a
function button press and hold and is not implemented though a menu item.
