Programming Motorola Minitor V

[indians9286]

Hello,
I have a few questions about programming a minitor v. I am a member of a fd and ambulance corp. Both departments operate on the same frequency.
Currently,-
"A" is set to silent scan both agencies.
"B" is set to Vibrate silent scan.
"C" and "D" open scans the frequency so i hear everything

What i would like to do-
"A"- Silent Scan both agencies. (So the pager only goes off if it recognizes either one of the tones)
"B"- Do the same thing as "A" but Vibrate instead of beep.
"C"- Only will go off if it recognizes fire tones. ( Not ems tones)
"D"- Open scan the frequency ( hear any town dispatching on this frequency)

**How do i go about doing this? Does it have something to do with the On/Off duty settings? I cant seem to figure out the right combination of settings to make the pager do what i want. Any advice would be appreciated!!

Use on/off duty for the Function C.

There's an example of how you will set the switches. Just make sure in the F1 you set the On/Off duty setting for that tone

Awesome.. That helps a lot. Thanks.. Also, does anyone know why the light on my pager will just randomly blink yellow?

I think it's when it's reviving a transmission, but I'm not completely sure. Mine is always in a case on the back of my belt so I don't typically pay attention to the lights. I'm sure someone else will know for sure

When scanning, It indicates which channel the pager is receiving traffic on. Rapid flashing indicates F1, and slow flashing indicates F2.
