DELAY

Many agencies use a two-way radio system that might have a pulse of
several seconds between a query and a reply.  To avoid missing a reply,
you can program a 2-second delay into any of your scanner's channels or
frequencies.  Then, when the scanner stops on the channel or frequency,
DLY appears on the display and the scanner continues to monitor the
channel/frequency for 2 seconds after the transmission stops before it
resumes scanning or searching.

You can program a 2-second delay in any of the following ways:

  If the scanner is scanning and stops on an active channel, quickly press
  PLAY before it starts to scan again.

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

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

To turn off delay on any channel or frequency, press DELAY when the
channel or frequency appears on the display.  DLY disappears.

SKIPPING FREQUENCIES/CHANNELS

You can scan channels and search for frequencies faster by skipping ones
that have a continuous transmission, such as a weather channel.  You can
skip up to all 30 channels while scanning or up to 20 frequencies during
a band or direct search.

To skip a channel/frequency while scanning or searching, press S/S-LOCKOUT
when the scanner stops on it.

Notes:  If you skip more than 20 search frequencies, each new frequency
        replaces earlier ones, starting from the first stored frequency.

        You can manually select skipped frequencies after you press HOLD
        to stop a search.  The scanner displays L/O when you select a
        skipped frequency.

Removing Skip from Frequencies

To remove the skip from a frequency while searching, press HOLD to stop
the search, press /\ or \/ to select the skipped frequency, then press S/S
until L/O disappears.

To remove the skip from a channel while scanning, select the banks
containing the skipped channels, press MANUAL, then press and hold down
LOCKOUT until the scanner beeps twice.

PRIORITY

The priority feature lets you scan through programmed 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 (up to 3
stored channels).  As the scanner scans, it checks the priority channels
in each selected bank every 2 seconds for activity.

Notes:  You can skip priority channels. If you skip all priority channels,
        the scanner displays P CH LOC OUt when you turn on the priority
        feature.  See "Skipping Frequencies/Channels" above.

        The priority feature must be turned off to listen to monitor
        memories.

The scanner automatically designates the first channel in each bank as
that bank's priority channel.

Follow these steps to program a different channel as the priority channel.

1.  Press PROGRAM.

2.  Use the number keys to enter the channel number you want to program as
    the priority channel, then press PRIORITY.  P appears to the right of
    the channel number.

3.  Repeat Steps 1-2 for each channel you want to program as a priority
    channel.

4.  To confirm priority channel numbers for all banks, press PROGRAM then
    repeatedly press PRIORITY.

To turn on priority, press PRIORITY during scanning.  PRI appears, and the
scanner checks the priority channel in each selected bank every 2 seconds,
it stays on the channel if there is activity, and P appears.

To turn off the priority feature, press PRIORITY.  PRI disappears.

Note:  If you are scanning more than one bank in which a priority channel
       has been programmed, the scanner stops on the lowest-numbered
       priority channel first while scanning.

LISTENING TO THE WEATHER BAND

There are 11 channels used by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA).  NOAA broadcasts local forecasts and regional
weather information on these channels.  We have preprogrammed your
scanner with seven of these frequencies.

Note:  For a list of all 11 national weather frequencies, see "National
       Weather Frequencies" in Faxback Doc. # 17653.

       To scan the preprogrammed weather channels, press WEATHER.  WX
       appears, and the scanner searches the weather channels and stops
       on an active broadcast. If a broadcast is weak, press WEATHER again
       to continue to search through the weather channels.

BAND MODE AND FREQUENCY STEP

The scanner receives only NFM (narrow-band frequency modulation)
transmissions.  This is the type of transmission used by most users of the
action bands such as police, fire, ambulance, Amateur Radio, etc.

This table shows the preset frequency steps your scanner uses for each
frequency range.

Freq. Range               Freq. Step
(MHz)                       (kHz)

29.000-54.000                 5

137.000-144.000               5

144.000-148.000               5

148.000-174.000               5

406.000-450.000            12.5

450.000-470.000            12.5

470.000-512.000            12.5

Note:  The frequency steps are preset.  You cannot change them.

TURNING THE KEY TONE ON OR OFF

When the key tone is turned on, each time you press any of the scanner's
keys, the scanner sounds a tone.

Follow these steps to turn the scanner's key tone on or off.

1.  If the scanner is turned on, turn VOLUME counterclockwise until it
    clicks to turn it off.

2.  Press and hold S/S-LOCKOUT while you turn on the scanner.  no bEEP
    (if the key tone is off) or On bEEP (if the key tone is on) appears
    for about 3 seconds.
