• If the scanner is scanning and stops on an active channel
where you want to store a delay, quickly press Func +
Dly before it continues scanning again. DLY appears.
• If the desired channel is not selected, manually select the
channel, then press Func + Dly. DLY appears.
• If the scanner is searching, press Func + Dly while the
scanner is searching. DLY appears and the scanner
automatically adds a 2-second delay to every frequency it
stops on in that band.
• To turn off the 2-second delay, press Func + Dly while
the scanner is monitoring a channel, scanning, or
searching. DLY disappears.
Turning Channel-Storage Banks On and Off
You can turn each channel-storage bank on and off. When
you turn off a bank, the scanner does not scan any of the 20
channels in that bank.
• While scanning, press the number key that corresponds
to the bank you want to turn on or off.
Numbers appear at the top of the display, showing the
currently selected banks.
The scanner scans all the channels within the displayed banks
that are not locked out (see next chapter “Locking Out
Channels”). The bank number flashes when the scanner
scans a channel that belongs to the bank.
Notes:
• You can manually select any channel within a bank, even
if that bank is turned off.
• You cannot turn off all banks. One bank must always be
active.
Locking Out Channels
You can increase the scanning speed by locking out channels
that have a continuous transmission.
• To lock out a channel, manually select the channel, then
press Func + L/O. L/O appears.
Note: You can still manually select locked-out channels.
• To remove the lockout from a channel, manually select
the channel, then press Func + L/O. L/O disappears.
• To unlock all channels in the banks that are turned on,
press Hold to stop scanning, then press Func and press
and hold L/O until the scanner beeps twice.
Priority
The priority feature lets you scan through the channels and
still not miss important or interesting calls on specific channels.
You can program one stored channel in each bank as a
priority channel (10 for the banks).
If the priority feature is turned on, as the scanner scans the
bank, it checks that bank's priority channel for activity every 2
seconds. The scanner automatically designates each bank's
first channel as its priority channel.
