Delay

Many agencies use a two-way radio system that might have a period of two or
more seconds between a query and a reply.  To program a delay to keep from
missing a reply on a specific channel, select the channel and press DELAY so
DLY appears on the display.  The scanner pauses for 2 seconds on a channel
programmed with DELAY.

Locking Out Channels

You can increase the scanning speed by locking out channels that you have
not yet programmed.  Manually select the empty channel and press L/OUT so
L/O appears on the display.  This is also handy for locking out channels
that have a continuous transmissions, such as a weather channel.  You can
manually select locked out channels.

To remove the lock-out from a channel, manually select the channel and press
L/OUT so L/O disappears from the display.

NOTE:  There must be at least one active channel in each bank.  You cannot
       lock out all channels.

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 corresponding to the bank you want to
turn on or off.  If the memory bank indicator is on, the bank is turned on
and the scanner scans all channels within that bank that are not locked out.
If the indicator is off, the scanner does not scan any of the channels with-
in that bank.

You can manually select any channel in a bank, even if the bank is turned
off.

NOTE:  You cannot turn off all banks.  One bank is always active.

Priority

You can scan through the programmed channels and still not miss an important
or interesting call on a specific channel.  To program a stored channel as
the priority channel, press PROG, the desired channel number, and then PRI.
P appears beside the channel number.

NOTE:  You can only select one channel as the priority channel.

To turn on the priority feature, press PRI during scanning. The scanner now
checks the priority channel every 2 seconds, and stays on the channel if
there is activity.  PRI appears on the display whenever the scanner is set
to the priority channel.

To turn off the priority feature, press PRI until PRI disappears from the
display.

Manually Selecting a Channel

You can continuously monitor a specific channel without scanning.  This is
useful if you hear an emergency broadcast on a channel and do not want to
miss any details - even though there might be periods of silence - or if you
want to monitor a specific channel.

To manually select a channel, press MANUAL.  Enter the channel number, and
press MANUAL again.  Or, if your scanner is scanning and stops at the de-
sired channel, press MANUAL one time.  Pressing MANUAL additional times
causes your scanner to step through the channels.

Using The LCD Back Light

You can turn on the display light for easy viewing at night.  Press LIGHT to
turn on the display light for 15 seconds.  To turn off the light before 15
seconds elapse, press the button again.
