Page 33

TURNING CHANNEL-STORAGE BANKS OFF AND ON

Channel-storage banks (1–10) are on when they have a bar un- derneath them and off when no bar appears underneath them. To turn off a channel-storage bank, press SCAN to see which banks are currently on, then press the bank’s number key. The bar under the bank’s number disappears.

Note: The scanner does not scan any of the channels within the banks you have turned off.

To turn on a channel-storage bank (1–10) press SCAN, and then press the bank’s number key. A bar appears under the bank’s number.

Notes:

You cannot turn off all banks. There must be at least one active bank.

You can manually select any channel in a bank, even if the bank is turned off.

When you turn on the bank during scanning, the scanner moves to the selected bank’s channel and continues scan- ning.

MONITORING A STORED CHANNEL

You can continuously monitor a specific channel without scan- ning. 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 simply want to monitor that channel.

Follow these steps to manually select a channel.

1.Press MAN.

2.Enter the channel number (1–200).

3.Press MAN again.
