USING THE KEYLOCK

Once you program your scanner, you can protect it from accidental program changes by turning on the keylock feature. When locked, the only controls that operate are SCAN, MAN, KEYLOCK, VOLUME/OFF, and

SQUELCH.

Note: The keylock does not prevent the scanner from scanning channels.

To turn on the keylock, hold down KEYLOCK until K/L appears. To turn it off, hold down KEYLOCK until K/L disappears.

USING THE DISPLAY BACKLIGHT

You can turn on the display light for easy viewing at

night. Press to turn on the display light for 15 sec- onds. To turn off the light before 15 seconds elapse, press the button again.

To switch between the normal and Hypersearch speeds during limit search or direct search, press H/S. HYPER appears during Hypersearch.
