If you are trunk scanning, you need to first press TRUNK to exit the trunking mode.

Scanning Programmed Channels

Before you can scan, you must first program channels. See the appropriate programming section for complete instructions.

To begin scanning, simply turn on your scanner or, if the scanner is not currently scanning, press SCAN. The scanner checks each system you have programmed that is not locked out and stops if there is activity. SCAN scrolls across the display, right to left.

When the scanner receives a signal on a programmed channel, it stops on that channel and displays the channel information (text tag, channel number, trunk mode).

Locking/Unlocking Banks

When you are scanning conventional banks, the scanner displays the digit corresponding to all unlocked banks. To lock out a bank so that the scanner does not scan its channels, press the number that corresponds to the bank. The scanner replaces that bank’s number with a dash.

To unlock locked-out banks, simply press that bank’s number again. The scanner displays that bank’s number and includes it when scanning.

Note: You cannot lockout all banks. One bank must be unlocked at all times.

Locking/Unlocking Channels

To lock out a channel so that the scanner does not stop on it while scanning, press L/O when the scanner is stopped on that channel or manually select the channel and press L/O. To unlock the channel, manually select it and press L/O again.

Note: You cannot lockout all channels in a bank. One channel must remain unlocked. If you want to lock out an entire bank, see the previous section.

Restoring All Locked Out Channels

To simultaneously unlock all channels, press HOLD/MAN, then press and hold L/O for 2 seconds. The scanner beeps twice and unlocks all channels.
