TURNING CHANNEL-STORAGE BANKS
OFF AND ON
Channel-storage banks (1–10) are on when they have a bar un-
derneath them and off when no bar appears underneath them.
To turn off a channel-storage bank, press
SCAN to see which
banks are currently on, then press the bank’s number key. The
bar under the bank’s number disappears.
Note: The scanner does not scan any of the channels within the
banks you have turned off.
To turn on a channel-storage bank (1–10) press SCAN , and then
press the bank’s number key. A bar appears under the bank’s
number.
Notes:
• You cannot turn off all banks. There must be at least one
active bank.
• You can manually select any channel in a bank, even if the
bank is turned off.
• When you turn on the bank during scanning, the scanner
moves to the selected bank’s channel and continues scan-
ning.
MONITORING A STORED CHANNEL
You can continuously monitor a specific channel without scan-
ning. 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 simply want to
monitor that channel.
Follow these steps to manually select a channel.
1. Press MAN .
2. Enter the channel number (1–200).
3. Press MAN again.
