LOCKING OUT

CHANNELS

You can set your scanner to scan more efficiently by locking out chan- nels you do not want to monitor. This is handy for locking out channels where you stored a frequency with a continuous transmission, such as a weather channel.

To lock out a channel, press MANU- AL, enter the desired channel num- ber, press MAN or PGM to select the channel, then press L/O/SEARCH SKIP so LOCKOUT appears on the display.

Notes:

You can still manually select locked out channels.

You cannot lock out all channels. There must be at least one active channel in each bank.

To unlock a channel, manually select the channel, then press L/O/SEARCH SKIP so LOCKOUT disappears from the display.

To unlock all channels, while the scanner is scanning, select the banks containing the locked chan- nels you want to unlock, press MAN- UAL, then press and hold L/O/ SEARCH SKIP until the scanner beeps twice.

CHANGING SCANNING AND SEARCH SPEEDS

The PRO-2040 has two scan and three search speeds.
