RPX4500/RPX4600 P25 PORTABLE RADIO – USER MANUAL
45
If a selected zone channel is programmed as a Vote channel, the voting will start automatically
without any other user intervention.
While listening on the channel, the user is able to use the PTT on that channel. After the
signal disappears, the radio will remain listening on the channel for a short time (Programming
Software, typically 3 seconds) before resuming scanning or voting.
If a Priority Channel is assigned to Scan mode, the radio will check this channel between each
normal Scan channel.
6.8.1. SCAN/VOTE SCREEN
A Scan can be started by:
• Pressing the function key that has been assigned the scan function by the PS
• Selecting a zone channel that has been assigned to automatically scan by the PS
• Selecting the SCAN ON option under User Options menu
Selecting a channel that is associated to a Voting Group, with Scan/Vote enabled in the PS starts
the voting process.
The top line of the display still shows the name of the current selected channel. The second line
of the display shows the name of the current selected zone while scanning/voting.
The channel can be changed by using the / keys.
Other channels may be either Scan or Normal channels,
depending on the radio’s configuration.
Scanning/Voting is indicated by a rotating arrow
symbol.
When stopped on a channel, the second line from
the top shows the name of the channel from the scan
group that the radio stopped on.
If stopped on a channel, that channel can be “skipped” by pressing the skip programmed
function key. Once a channel is “skipped” it will not be scanned for the duration of that Zone/
Channel selection.
While stopped on a channel, the asterisk (*) icon will display.
When transmitting on a channel, the second line of display shows the name of the current
channel that the radio is transmitting on.
