Notes:
• If you program more than 20 skip frequencies, each new frequency
replaces one you stored earlier, starting from the first stored fre-
quency.
• You can select a skipped frequency by using ▼ or ▲ when the
scanner is holding. L/O appears when you select a skipped fre-
quency.
PRIORITY
You can scan through channels and still not miss an important call on a
specific channel. When a channel is selected as the priority channel
and priority is turned on, the scanner checks that channel every 2 sec-
onds, and stays on the channel if there is activity until the activity stops.
PRI appears whenever the scanner is set to use priority.
The scanner is preset to select Channel 1 as the priority channel. To
program a different channel as the priority channel, press
PROGRAM ,
the desired channel number, then PRIORITY . P appears beside the

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