SCANNING THE STORED CHANNELS

To set the scanner to continuously scan through all channels with stored frequencies, simply press SCAN. SCAN and ▲ ap- pear, and the scanner begins to rapidly scan until it finds an ac- tive frequency.

When the scanner finds an active frequency, it stops and dis- plays that channel and frequency number, then it automatically begins scanning again when the transmission on that frequency ends.

Notes:

•To reverse the scanning direction, press ▲ or ▼.

•To set the scanner to remain on the current channel for 2 seconds after the transmission ends, see “Delay” on Page 36.

•To set the scanner to remain on the current channel, even after the transmission stops, press MAN at any time during the transmission so MAN appears and SCAN disappears (see “Monitoring a Stored Channel” on Page 33).

•To lock out channels so the scanner does not stop for a transmission on those channels, see “Locking Out Channels or Frequencies” on Page 36.
