Turning Channel-Storage Banks On and Off

You can turn each channel-storage bank on and off. When you turn off a bank, the scanner does not scan any of the 20 channels in that bank.

While scanning, press the number key that corresponds to the bank you want to turn on or off. Numbers appear at the top of the display, showing the currently selected banks.

The scanner scans all the channels within the displayed banks that are not locked out (see "Lock- ing Out Channels"). 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.

Locking Out Channels

You can increase the scanning speed by locking out channels that have a continuous transmission, such as a weather channel. To lock out a channel, manually select the channel, then press FUNC + L/O. L/O appears.
