Since the marine service bank is not in one of the 5 kHz step bands, you cannot use Hypersearch in the marine service bank.

TURNING THE BATTERY SAVE FUNCTION OFF/ON

To save battery power when a channel is manually selected or when you are programming the scanner, the scanner has a battery save function which automatically sets the scanner to a standby mode if no button is pressed for 5 seconds when no signal is detected, and sets the scanner back to full power mode when it detects a button press or receives a signal. The battery save function is set to on at the factory, but you can change it. S appears when the function is active.

Note: If priority is turned on, the battery save function does not work even if a channel is manually selected.

To turn the battery save function off or back on, turn off the scanner, then hold down PRIORITY/H/S and turn on the scanner. OFF SAVE or on SAVE briefly appears.
