FUNCTION DETAILS

SCAN

Scan is useful for monitoring signals on the transceiver channels. While scanning, the transceiver checks for a signal on each channel and only stops on a channel if a signal is present.

To begin scanning, press the key programmed as [Scan].

• The indicator appears on the display.
• If programmed by your dealer, the LED indicator blinks during scanning.
• The channels are scanned.
- When a signal is detected on a channel, Scan pauses on that channel. The transceiver will remain on the busy channel until the signal is no longer present. When the signal “drops out”, the transceiver will remain on the channel momentarily before Scan resumes. This delay time is programmed by your dealer. If a signal is received during the delay time, the transceiver will remain on the same channel.

To stop scanning, press the [Scan] key again.

Note:

- In order for Scan to operate, there must be at least 2 channels added to the scanning sequence. If there are less channels than this, Scan will not operate.

TEMPORARY CHANNEL LOCKOUT

During scan, you can temporarily remove specific channels from the scanning sequence by selecting them and pressing the key programmed as [Scan Delete/Add].

• The indicator no longer appears on the display for that channel.
- The channel is no longer scanned. However, when scanning is ended and restarted, the channels will reset and the channel will again be in the scanning sequence.

PRIORITY SCAN

A Priority channel must be programmed in order for Priority Scan to function.

When using a single Priority channel, the transceiver will automatically change to the Priority channel when a call is received on it, even if a call is being received on a normal channel.

When using dual Priority channels, Priority channel 1 is given precedence over Priority channel 2. So, if a call is received on Priority channel 1 while a call is already on Priority channel 2, the transceiver will automatically change to Priority channel 1.

- “”for “” appears on the display when the channel is Priority channel 1 or 2 respectively.

• The Indicator (red) appears on the display during Priority Scan.

SCAN REVERT

The Scan Revert channel is the channel selected when you press the PTT switch to transmit during scan. Your dealer can program one of the following Scan Revert channels:

The capacity of a rechargeable battery to discharge degrades over time. When the amount discharged is equivalent to the nominal capacity, it is counted as 1 Cycle Count.
For example, if 100 % of a rechargeable battery with a nominal capacity of 2000 mAh is completely discharged in one usage, the Cycle Count increases by 1. If approximately 14 (500 mAh) of the battery capacity is discharged in one usage, and the battery is used four times (500 mAh x 4 = 2000 mAh), the Cycle Count increases by 1.
It is recommended to replace the battery once the Cycle Count reaches 500 times.
*3 Battery Health indicates the capacity of a full charge in percentage (%). 100 % for a full charge capacity when the battery is first used. A rechargeable battery deteriorates over time after repeated charging and discharging, and cannot maintain a full charge as a new battery.
For example, if a rechargeable battery has a full charge capacity of 2600 mAh when it was first used, and the current full charge capacity is 2340 mAh, the Battery Health will be 90 %.
It is recommended to replace the battery once the Battery Health reaches 50%.
*4 KNB-N4 does not support Date of First Use and Battery Alias, these items are displayed as “--” even if the information has been read without error.
