located to fire and police departments, it takes several
minutes to search all these frequencies.

Search Skip Memory

You can skip up to 20 specified frequencies during a
limit or direct search and up to 20 specified frequencies
during a service bank search. This lets you avoid un-
wanted frequencies or ones you have already stored in
a channel.

To skip a frequency, press

stops on the frequency dur-
ing a limit, direct, or service
search. The scanner stores
the frequency in memory
and automatically re-
sumes the search.

To clear a single frequency from skip memory so the
scanner once again stops on it during a limit, direct, or
service bank search:

1. Press

HOLD

to hold the search.

2. Press t or s to select the frequency.

ap-pears.

3. Press

S/S

.

L/O

disappears.

To clear all the skip frequencies at once while search-
ing, press

HOLD

, then hold down

S/S

until the scanner

beeps twice (about 3 seconds).
