SPECIAL FEATURES

USING MEMOLOCK

(add corrected illus F25 showing antenna cable connected to

ANT jack. Please make sure vendor places illus properly)

To keep from accidentally changing the scanner’s programming, you can lock the scanner’s memory by setting the MEMOLOCK OFF/ON switch on the back of the scanner to ON. If you try to change the scanner’s programming, Prg-Locappears, and the program- ming does not change.

Set MEMOLOCK OFF/ON to OFF to add or change information in the scanner’s channels.

DELAY

Many agencies use a two-way radio system that might have a pause of several seconds between a query and a reply.

When the scanner tunes to an active frequency or channel, the scanner automatically waits for 2 seconds after the completion of each transmission on that frequency or channel before it resumes searching or scanning.

LOCKING OUT

CHANNELS AND

FREQUENCIES

You can scan banks faster by locking out frequencies or channels that have a continuous transmission or static. However, you cannot lock out any weather frequencies or any frequen- cies within the AIR or MRN service search banks.

To lock out a frequency or channel while scanning, press L/O when the scanner displays the frequency or channel number.

To remove the lockout, manually se- lect the frequency or channel, then press L/O when the frequency or channel number appears. L/O disap- pears.

Notes:

The scanner automatically locks out empty channels.

You can lock out all frequencies and channels in a bank. However, if all frequencies and channels within a bank are locked out, the scanner beeps three times when you press that bank key and does not scan the bank.

You can manually select locked out channels.
