USING THE KEYLOCK

Once you program your scanner, you can protect it from accidental program
changes by turning on the keylock feature.  When the keypad is locked, the
only controls that operate are LIGHT, VOLUME, and SQUELCH.

Note:  The keylock does not prevent the scanner from scanning channels or
       monitoring a single channel, whichever feature you last selected.

To turn on the keylock, press and hold the key symbol for about 3 seconds
until the key symbol appears on the display.  To turn it off, press and
hold the key symbol down for about 3 seconds until the key symbol disappears
from the display.

Locking Out Channels

You can increase the effective scanning speed by locking out individual
channels that have a continuous transmission, such as a weather channel.
To lock out a channel, select that channel then press E/L-OUT.  L/O appears
on the display.

To remove the lock-out from a channel, select that channel again then press
E/L-OUT so L/O disappears from the display.

NOTES:  You can manually select locked-out channels.

        Your scanner automatically locks out empty channels.

USING A 2-SECOND DELAY

Many agencies use a two-way radio system that has a period of several
seconds between a query and a reply.  To avoid missing a reply, you can
program a 2-second delay into any channel or frequency.  When your scanner
stops on a channel or frequency with a programmed delay, DELAY appears on
the display and the scanner continues to monitor that frequency for 2
seconds after the transmission stops before resuming scanning.

You can program a 2-second delay in these ways:

If the scanner is scanning and stops on an active channel, quickly press
./DLY before it continues scanning again.

If the desired channel is not selected, manually select the channel, then
press ./DLY.

If the scanner is in the search mode, press ./DLY while the scanner is 
searching.  DELAY appears on the display and the scanner automatically adds
a 2-second delay to every transmission it stops on.

To turn off the 2-second delay, press ./DLY while the scanner is monitoring
the channel or frequency.  DELAY disappears from the display.

USING THE DISPLAY BACKLIGHT

You can turn on the display's backlight for easy viewing in the dark.
Press LIGHT to turn on the display light for 5 seconds.  To turn off the
light before 5 seconds elapse, press LIGHT again.

LISTENING TO A WEATHER BAND

The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) has allocated 11 channels for
use by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).  NOAA
broadcasts your local forecast and regional weather information on one or
more of these channels.  We have programmed your scanner with 10 of the
U.S. frequencies most commonly used by NOAA.  

To hear your local forecast and regional weather information, simply press
WX.  Your scanner begins to scan through the weather band, and arrow up
and WX appear on the display.  To reverse the scanning direction, press
arrow up or down.

Your scanner should stop within a few seconds on your local weather
broadcast.  If the broadcast is weak, you can press arrow up or down again
to resume scanning.

Note:  To manually select a preprogrammed weather channel, you can:

       repeatedly press WX until MAN appears on the display, then
       repeatedly press arrow up or down to move forward or backward
       through the channels.

       press the number (0-9) of the channel you want to listen to.
