Editing a Priority Scan List
If the Scan Edit option switch is programmed, priority scan lists can be user edited as
follows (all operating modes). This option is also selectable via the menu. Changes are
permanent (cycling power does not reselect a default condition). Proceed as follows:
1
Select a conventional, SMARTNET/SmartZone/P25 Trunked channel corresponding to
the scan list being edited.
2
Select the scan list edit mode by pressing the Scan Edit option switch. This mode is
indicated by a triangle in the upper left corner of the display (see Figure 2.3) for the
Standard Control Head. This mode is indicated by a

the Lightning Control Head.

If applicable, select the list to be edited by rotating and then pressing the Select switch.
A single beep sounds when the switch is pressed (if that option is enabled). The
selected scan list is indicated as “LIST x” as described in the preceding section. If user
programming is disabled on a list (conventional channels only), “NO EDIT” is
momentarily displayed and it cannot be edited.

Select the channel you want to add or delete by rotating the Select switch. After the last
channel in the current zone is displayed, the first valid channel in the next zone is
displayed and vice versa. Lists are limited to 256 channels. If an attempt is made to add
more than 256, “LIST FULL” is displayed and a channel must be deleted before
another can be added.
Note
Priority channels can be deleted.

If the selected channel is in the scan list (scanned), the symbol is displayed next to
the zone number as just described for the Standard Control Head. The
is displayed
on the top of the Lightning Control Head display.. To change the scan list status of the
displayed channel, press the Select switch. A single beep sounds when the switch is
pressed (if that option is enabled).
With conventional channels only, if the selected scan list is programmed with fixed
priority channel(s), the next press of the Select switch makes the current channel the
priority channel indicated by “
P
” in the left status display next to the zone number. If
dual priority channels are used, pressing the Select switch again makes it the second
priority channel indicated by “
2
” in the left status display. Then pressing the Select
switch again takes the channel out of the scan list. Refer to Section 5.10.2 and Section
5.10.3 for more information on priority channel sampling.

To exit this mode and save the changes, press the Scan Edit option switch again.
