If you entered a frequency that is already stored in another channel, - dUPL- and the lowest-numbered channel containing the duplicate frequency flash for about 3 seconds. If you want to store the frequency anyway, press ENTER again.

To store the displayed frequency in the selected channel, press PGM, press the channel number you want to use and press PGM again, then press ENTER. The channel and frequency flash twice, and the scanner stores the frequency. Then the scanner continues to search for frequencies.

4.To store the frequency in the monitor memory, press MON/CL. M, the monitor memory number, and the frequency flash twice.

5.To search for another active frequency, hold down 8 or 9.

USING THE MONITOR MEMORY

The scanner has 20 monitor memories that you can use to temporarily store frequencies while you decide whether to save them into channels. This is handy for quickly storing an active frequency when you are searching through an entire band. You can store a frequency into a monitor memory during a service bank or direct search.

You can select monitor memories manually, but you cannot scan them. See "Listening to a Monitor Memory Frequency."

Listening to a Monitor Memory Frequency

To recall a frequency stored in the monitor memory, press MANUAL then MON/CL. M, the monitor memory number, and CH flash and

the current monitor memory frequency appears. To select other monitor memories, enter the desired monitor memory's number (1–20), then press MON/CL again.

Moving a Frequency from a Monitor Memory to a Channel

1.Press PGM, enter the channel number where you want to store the frequency, then press PGM again. PGM and the selected channel number appear.

2.Press MON/CL. M, a monitor memory number, and CH flash, and the monitor memory frequency appear.

3.Enter the desired monitor memory's number (1–20), then press MON/CL again. The selected monitor memory's frequency appears.

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

5.To move another monitor memory frequency to the next channel, press PGM and repeat Steps 2–4.

SCANNING THE STORED CHANNELS

To set the scanner to continuously scan through all channels with stored frequencies, press SCAN. SCAN and 8 appear, and the scanner begins to rapidly scan until it finds an active frequency.

If the scanner finds an active frequency, it stops and displays that channel and
