Page 24

3.Press MON, then enter the moni- tor memory number that has the frequency you want to store. MON and the entered frequency appear, and the channel number blinks.

4.Press ENTER. The scanner stores the frequency into the selected channel.

SCANNING THE STORED CHANNELS

To scan the stored channels, press SCAN. Your scanner scans through all the stored channels except the ones you lock out (see “Locking Out Channels” on Page 27).

If necessary, readjust SQUELCH so you do not hear the hissing sound between transmissions.

TURNING CHANNEL- STORAGE BANKS ON AND OFF

You can set your scanner to scan more efficiently by turning selected channel storage banks on or off.

When you turn off a bank, the scan- ner does not scan any of the 20 channels in the bank.

While scanning, press the number key for the bank you want to turn on or off. If the memory bank indicator is on, the bank is turned on and the scanner scans all channels within that bank that are not locked out. If the indicator is off, the scanner does not scan any of the channels within that bank.

Notes:

You can manually select any channel in a bank, even if the bank is turned off.

You cannot turn off all banks. There must be at least one active bank.

MANUALLY

SELECTING A

CHANNEL

You can continuously monitor a spe- cific channel without scanning. This is useful if you hear an emergency broadcast on a channel and want to hear all the details (even though there might be periods of silence) or if you want to monitor only a specific channel or a locked-out channel.

To manually select a channel, press MANUAL, enter the channel number, then press MANUAL again.
