Scanning Options

While scanning you can select from several options to enhance your scanning enjoy- ment.

To set the scanner to remain on the current channel for 2 seconds after the transmission ends, see “Using the Delay Function” on Page 20.

To set the scanner to remain on the current channel even after the transmission stops, press MANUAL at any time during the transmission so MAN appears and SCAN disappears. See “Monitoring a Stored Channel.”

2.Enter the channel number (1–200).

3.Press MANUAL again.

2.Use the number keys to select the desired channel number, then press

MANUAL.
