The scanner scans all the channels within the dis- played banks that are not locked out (see “Locking Out Channels”).
Notes:
•You can manually select any channel within a bank, even if that bank is turned off.
•You cannot turn off all banks. One bank must always be active.
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, manually select the channel, then press
Note: You can still manually select locked out chan- nels.
To remove the lockout from a channel, manually select the channel, then press S/S. L/O disappears.
To unlock all channels in the banks that are turned on, press MAN to stop scanning, then hold down
PRIORITY
The priority feature lets you scan through 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 (for up to a total of 5 stored channels). If the priority feature is turned on, as the scanner scans the bank, it checks that bank’s priority channel every 2 seconds for activity.
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 chan- nel.
