The scanner scans all the channels within the dis-
played banks that are not locked out (see “Locking Out
Channels”).
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
select the channel, then press
L-OUT . L/O appears.
Note: You can still manually select locked out chan-
nels.
To remove the lockout from a channel, manually select
the channel, then press
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 un-
til the scanner beeps twice.
PRIORITY
The priority feature lets you scan through 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 (for up to a total of 5 stored
channels). If the priority feature is turned on, as the
scanner scans the bank, it checks that bank’s priority
channel every 2 seconds for activity.
The scanner automatically designates each bank's first
channel as its priority channel. Follow these steps to
select a different channel in a bank as the priority chan-
nel.
