Note: You cannot use this procedure to select a car number. See “Viewing Frequencies Associated with a Car Number” on Page 33 to select a car number.

To manually select a channel, press MAN, enter the channel number, then press MAN again. Or, if your scanner is scanning and stops at the desired channel, press MAN once.

Pressing MAN additional times causes your scanner to step through the channels. To resume scanning, press SCAN.

SCANNING CHANNELS

To begin scanning channels, press SCAN. The scanner scans through all non-locked channels in all banks that are turned on, from the lowest to the highest channel number. (See “Turning Memory Banks On and Off” and “Locking Out Channels” on Page 35).

When the scanner finds a transmission, it stops on it. Two seconds af- ter the transmission ends, the scanner resumes scanning.

Note: If SQUELCH is adjusted so you always hear a hissing sound, the scanner does not scan properly.
