Note: You can still manually select locked-out channels.

To remove the lockout from a channel, manually select the channel, and then press FUNC and L/O. L/O disappears.

To unlock all channels in the banks that are turned on, press HOLD to stop scanning, and then press FUNC and press and hold L/O until the scanner beeps twice.

priority

The priority feature lets you scan through the channels and still not miss important or interesting calls on specific channels. You can program one stored channel in each bank as a priority channel (10 for the banks).

If the priority feature is turned on, as the scanner scans the bank, it checks that bank's priority channel for activity every 2 seconds.

The scanner automatically designates each bank's first channel as its priority channel.

Follow these steps to select a different channel in a bank as the priority channel.

Manually select the channel you want to select as the priority channel.
