SPECIAL FEATURES

USING MEMOLOCK

To keep from accidentally changing
the scanner’s programming, you can
lock the scanner’s memory by setting
the

MEMOLOCK OFF/ON

switch on the

back of the scanner to

ON

. If you try to

change the scanner’s programming,

Prg-Loc

appears, and the program-

ming does not change.

Set

MEMOLOCK OFF/ON

to

OFF

to add

or change information in the scanner’s
channels.

DELAY

Many agencies use a two-way radio
system that might have a pause of
several seconds between a query and
a reply.

When the scanner tunes to an active
frequency or channel, the scanner
automatically waits for 2 seconds after
the completion of each transmission
on that frequency or channel before it
resumes searching or scanning.

LOCKING OUT
CHANNELS AND
FREQUENCIES

You can scan banks faster by locking
out frequencies or channels that have
a continuous transmission or static.
However, you cannot lock out any
weather frequencies or any frequen-
cies within the AIR or MRN service
search banks.

To lock out a frequency or channel
while scanning, press

L/O

when the

scanner displays the frequency or
channel number.

To remove the lockout, manually se-
lect the frequency or channel, then
press

L/O

when the frequency or

channel number appears.

pears.

Notes:

• The scanner automatically locks

out empty channels.

• You can lock out all frequencies

and channels in a bank. However,
if all frequencies and channels
within a bank are locked out, the
scanner beeps three times when
you press that bank key and does
not scan the bank.

• You can manually select locked

out channels.
