32 Special Features
The scanner scans all the channels within the displayed
banks that are not locked out (see “Locking Out Chan-
nels”). The bank number flashes when the scanner
scans a channel that belongs to the bank.
Notes:
• You can manually select any channel within a bank,
even if that bank is turned off.
• You cannot turn off all banks. One bank must
always be active.
LOCKING OUT CHANNELS
You can increase the scanning speed by locking out
channels that have a continuous transmission, such as a
weather channel. To lock out a channel, manually se-
lect the channel, then press
L-OUT(S/S) . L/O ap-
pears.
Note: You can still manually select locked-out channels.
To remove the lockout from a channel, manually select
the channel, then press
L-OUT(S/S) . L/O disappears.
To unlock all channels in the banks that are turned on,
press
MAN to stop scanning, then hold down L-OUT(S/S)
until the scanner beeps twice.
PRIORITY
The priority feature lets you scan through the 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 (10 for the banks in Group A
and 10 for the banks in Group B). If the priority feature is
turned on, as the scanner scans the bank, it checks that
bank’s priority channel for activity every 2 seconds.
The scanner automatically designates each bank’s first
channel as its priority channel. Follow these steps to se-
lect a different channel in a bank as the priority channel.
