Delay
Sometimes a user might pause before replying to a transmission. To avoid missing a reply on a specific channel, you can program a 2-second delay into any channel or frequency. The scanner continues to monitor the channel frequency for an additional 2 seconds after the transmission stops before resuming scanning or searching. The scanner automatically sets a delay when you store frequencies into channels or when you search frequencies. When the delay feature is on, DLY appears. If it is off, follow one of these steps to program a delay depending on how the scanner is operating.
•If the scanner is scanning and stops on an active channel where you want to store a delay, quickly press FUNC + DLY before it continues scanning again. DLY appears.
•If the desired channel is not selected, manually select the channel, then press FUNC + DLY. DLY appears.
•If the scanner is searching, press FUNC + DLY while the scanner is searching. DLY appears and the scanner automatically adds a 2-second delay to every frequency it stops on in that band.
To turn off the 2-second delay, press FUNC + DLY while the scanner is monitoring a channel, scanning, or searching. DLY disappears.
