Locking Out Channels

You can increase the effective scan- ning speed by locking out channels that have a continuous transmission, such as a weather channel.

Note: You can manually select the channels you have locked out.

To lock out a channel, manually select the channel, then press LOCKOUT so L/O appears on the display.

To review the locked-out channels, manually select the first channel you want to review. Then repeatedly press REVIEW to see the locked-out chan- nels in sequence.

Note: If you press REVIEW when there is no locked-out channel, the scanner sounds an error tone.

To remove the lock-out from a chan- nel, manually select the channel, then press LOCKOUT so L/O disappears from the display.

Follow these steps to unlock all chan- nels in the selected banks.

1.Select the banks while the scan- ner is scanning.

2.Press MANUAL to stop scanning.

3.Press and hold LOCKOUT until the scanner beeps twice.

MANUALLY SELECTING A CHANNEL

You can continuously monitor a spe- cific channel without scanning. This is useful if you hear an emergency broadcast on a channel and do not want to miss any details (even though there might be periods of silence) or if you want to monitor a specific chan- nel.

If your scanner is scanning and stops at the desired channel, press MANUAL one time. Pressing MANUAL additional times causes your scanner to step through the channels.

To manually select a channel, press MANUAL or turn the rotary tuner either way one click. Then enter the channel number using either of the following methods:

•Enter the channel number, then press MANUAL again.

•Press FREQ/CHAN-LOCKuntil the scanner displays CHAN, then turn the rotary tuner until the desired channel number appears.
