TURNING CHANNEL-STORAGE BANKS ON AND OFF

You can turn each channel-storage bank on and off. When you turn off a bank, the scanner does not scan any of the 10 channels in that bank.

While scanning, press the number key corresponding to the bank you want to turn on or off. (Press 0 to select bank 10). If the memory bank indicator is on, the bank is turned on and the scanner scans all chan- nels within that bank that are not locked out. If the indicator is off, the scanner does not scan any of the channels within that bank.

Memory banks 3 and 4 are turned off

Notes:

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

You cannot turn off all banks. One bank is always active.

SEARCH SKIP MEMORY

You can skip specified frequencies during a limit or direct search. This lets you avoid unwanted frequencies or ones you have already stored in a channel. You can program up to 20 frequencies to be skipped into the scanner’s memory.

To skip a frequency, press S/S (LOCKOUT) when the scanner stops on the frequency during a limit or direct search. L/O (lockout) appears the next time you display that frequency.

To clear a single frequency from search skip memory so the scanner can stop on it during a limit or direct search, press LIMIT to hold the search, press or to select the frequency (where L/O appears), then press S/S. L/O disappears.

To clear all the skip frequencies from search skip memory at once while searching, hold down S/S until the scanner beeps twice.
