How to turn off a System.
​
Applicable to UBCD436PT-UBCD536PT and USDS100 and SDS100
​
Sometimes within a Favorite there may be multiple Systems.
Systems that are of no interest to you or outside your location, can be turned off via the Menu.
​
Let's say that the Favorite you like to monitor has a few systems in it that are of no relevance to your location.
By turning off Systems that are not applicable to your location saves the Scanner going through unwanted Systems and obviously speeds up the scanning speed and less chance of missing conversations.
Turn the Scanner on.
​
Push the Menu Pad/button and the main Menu screen will appear.
​
Set Scan Selection will be highlighted.
Push the E.Yes button.
​
Manage Quick Key Status will be highlighted.
Push the E.Yes button.
​
Set Quick Key Status Menu will appear at the top of the screen.
​
Favorites Quick Key will be highlighted.
​
Using the volume dial, scroll down and select System Quick Key.
Push the E.Yes button.
​
Select Favorites List menu screen will appear.
​
A list of all the current installed and active Favorites will appear.
​
Scroll down the list and select the Favorite that has the System in it, that you wish to modify.
​
Once you have selected (Highlighted) the Favorite you wish to edit, push the E.Yes button.
​
​Remember! Only the Favorites that you have active will appear. If you have turned OFF certain Favorites previously, these will NOT appear and can not be edited. If your Favorite is not visible - go back into the Menu and turn it back ON.
The Set Quick Key Status Menu screen will appear.
​
ALL the individual Systems within the selected Favorite will be listed - these will include all 'flavors' - includng digital conventional and trunking systems.
​
By default - these will all be ON (Unless turned off previously or via the software)
​
Scroll down the list and highlight the System you wish to turn OFF. (or ON again)
Once it’s been highlighted – push the E.Yes
​
This will turn the selected System OFF.
​
Repeating the process will turn it back ON.
​
You can select as many as you like – in some instances you may have a mixture of Emergency and Public services. You may wish to turn off all the Public Service systems and only monitor the Emergency Services systems.
Remember - a P25 Digital related System contains the Sites relevant to the location shown. Make sure you do not turn off a System that is relevant to your location. This will render the Scanner ‘deaf’ and you won’t hear anything. Even if you have the correct Favorite ON.
​
Once you have turned OFF (or ON) the selected Systems within your Favorite list, you can then push the SYSTEM/Scan button and resume Scanning – the Systems you turned OFF will now be permanently avoided within the selected Favorite, until such time you go back into the menu and turn them back on again if needed.
