Note: This scanner cannot set a channel as the priority channel if the channel’s receive mode is LTR, MOT, or ED.
Follow these steps to program a weather channel as the priority channel.
1.Press WX.
2.Select the weather channel you want to program as the priority channel.
3.Press FUNC then press PRI. Pri appears on the dis- play to the right of the frequency.
To turn on the priority feature, press PRI while scanning. Priority ON (or Priority WX if you set the priority to a weather channel) appears for about 3 seconds then P appears. The scanner checks the priority channel every 2 seconds. It stays on the channel if there is activity (or if it detects a weather alert tone in priority wx mode), Pri appears and S or M changes to P on the display.
Notes:
•The WX priority is only for receiving a weather alert.
•When the scanner detects a 1050 Hz tone, the WX priority activates and you receive a weather alert.
To turn off the priority feature, press PRI. Priority OFF appears on the display and P disappears from the display.
Note: The priority channel is always active if it is in the closed mode, regardless of the open or closed setting for the bank. This means that if the priority channel is PL, and has a PL code stored for it, the priority function will not be active unless the priority signal has the matching PL code.
