You can increase the effective scanning or search speed by locking out individual channels or frequencies that have a continuous transmission, such as a weather channel (see “National Weather Frequencies” on Page 24) or a birdie frequency (see “Birdie Frequencies” on Page 24).

To lock out a channel while scanning or a frequency during

one-touch search or while tuning, presswhen the scanner stops on the channel or frequency. If you locked out a frequency, the scanner locks it out then continues searching.

To manually lock out a channel, select the channel then hold down L/O/L/O RVW until B%E appears.

To remove the lockout from a channel, manually select that

channel again, then pressuntil B%E disappears. See “Removing Lockouts From All Frequencies in a One Touch Search Bank” and “Removing Lockouts From All Frequencies” for more information about removing lockout from frequencies. ±

To review the frequencies you locked out, hold down L/O/L/ O RVW for about 2 seconds during a search, then repeatedly press H or G. The scanner beeps if there are no locked-out frequencies, or B#h appears and the scanner displays all locked out frequencies as you press H or G. When you reach the highest locked-out frequency, the scanner beeps twice and returns to the lowest locked-out frequency.

Locking Out Channels or Frequencies

•Your scanner automatically locks out empty channels.

•You can still manually select locked-out channels.

•You can lock out as many as 50

frequencies during a search. If you try to lock out more, <Beý# <KBB appears (see “Reviewing Locked-Out Frequencies” and

“Removing Lockouts From All Frequencies” on Page 21).

Removing Lockouts From All

Frequencies in a One Touch

Search Bank

•These steps do not clear any lockouts in the marine and weather bank.

•If you locked out frequencies which are within the range of any of the one touch search banks during tune, the scanner also removes those locked-out frequencies when you use these steps. For example, if you locked out 29.000 MHz while tuning, the scanner removes it, since 29.000 MHz is one of the frequencies in the ham radio service bank.
