resumes scanning automatically after the delay time (see Delay on Page 29).

Notes:

•If you have not stored frequencies into any channels, the scanner does not scan.

•If the scanner picks up unwanted partial or very weak transmissions, increase the squelch level. Decrease the scanner's sensitivity to these signals. To listen to a weak or distant station, reduce the squelch level (0 is squelch open).

Manually Selecting a Channel

You can continuously monitor a single 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 channel.

During scanning, if the radio stops at a channel you want to listen to, press RSM/HOLD once. (Repeatedly pressing RSM/HOLD at this time causes the scanner to step through the channels.) Press RSM/HOLD to resume automatic scanning.

1.Repeatedly press F/M to display FREQ. Now the scanner is in Frequency Mode.
