SPECIAL FEATURES

USING PRIORITY

CHANNELS

The priority feature lets you scan through channels and still not miss important or interesting calls on spe- cific channels. You can program one stored channel in each bank as a pri- ority channel (up to 10 stored chan- nels in total). As the scanner scans the bank, if the priority feature is turned on, the scanner checks the priority channels every 2 seconds for activity.

The scanner automatically desig- nates each bank’s first channel as its priority channel. Follow these steps to select a different channel as the priority channel for a bank.

1.Press PGM.

2.Enter the channel number you want to select as the priority channel, then press PRI/HYPER SEARCH. P appears to the left of the channel number.

Note: If the scanner cannot find a pri-

ority channel, P CH LOCOUt ap- pears when you turn on the priority feature.

To confirm all priority channel num- bers, press PGM, then repeatedly press PRI/HYPER SEARCH to see the priority channels.

To turn on the priority feature, press PRI/HYPER SEARCH during scan- ning. PRIORITY appears and every 2 seconds the scanner checks the priority channel in each bank that is turned on, starting from the lowest- numbered to the highest-numbered priority channel. If there is a trans- mission on the priority channel, the scanner tunes the transmission until it stops.

The scanner does not check the channel if it is in a bank which is turned off or if the priority channel is locked out.

To turn off the priority feature, press

PRI/HYPER SEARCH. PRIORITY

disappears.
