The scanner scans all the channels within the displayed banks that are not locked out (see “Locking Out Chan- nels”). The bank number flashes when the scanner scans a channel that belongs to the bank.
Notes:
•You can manually select any channel within a bank, even if that bank is turned off.
•You cannot turn off all banks. One bank must always be active.

PRIORITY
The priority feature lets you scan through the channels and still not miss important or interesting calls on specific channels. You can program one stored channel in each bank as a priority channel (10 for the banks in Group A and 10 for the banks in Group B). If the priority feature is turned on, as the scanner scans the bank, it checks that bank’s priority channel for activity every 2 seconds.
The scanner automatically designates each bank’s first channel as its priority channel. Follow these steps to se- lect a different channel in a bank as the priority channel.
