Setting Delay

Sometimes a radio user might pause before replying to a transmission. To avoid missing a reply on a specific channel, the scanner automatically programs a 2-second delay into any channel or frequency.

Depending on the scanner operation, follow one of these steps to turn the delay on or off.

•To turn off the 2-second delay, press •/CLR/DELAY while the scanner is monitoring a channel, scanning, or searching. DLY disappears.

•To turn on the 2-second delay for a single channel, manually select the channel and press •/CLR/DELAY. DLY appears.

•To turn on the 2-second delay for the search function, press •/CLR/ DELAY while the scanner is searching. DLY appears and the scanner automatically adds a 2-second delay to every frequency it stops on in that band.

Turning Channel-Storage Banks On or Off

You can turn each channel-storage bank on and off. When you turn off a bank, the scanner does not scan any of the 20 channels in that bank.

While scanning, press the number key that corresponds to the bank you want to turn on or off. The scanner scans all the channels within the displayed banks that are not locked out.

Notes:

•You can manually select any channel within a bank, even if that bank is turned off.

•One bank must always be active. If you try to turn off all banks, bank 0 remains.

Locking Out Channels

You can increase the scanning speed by locking out channels that have a continuous transmission (such as a weather channel). To lock out a channel, quickly press L/O when the scanner stops on a transmission. Or, manually select the channel and then press L/O. L/O appears.

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