MANUALLY SELECTING A CHANNEL

You can continuously monitor a specific channel without scanning. This is useful if you hear an emergency broadcast on a channel and do not want to miss any details — even though there might be periods of si- lence — or if you want to monitor a specific channel.

Follow these steps to manually select a channel.

1.Press MANUAL.

2.Enter the channel number.

3.Press MANUAL again.

Or, if your scanner is scanning and stops at the desired channel, press MANUAL one time. (Pressing MANUAL additional times causes your scanner to step through the channels.)

To resume automatic scanning after manually selecting a channel, press SCAN. Your scanner then scans through all non-locked channels in the activated banks.
