Many agencies use a two-way radio system that has a period of several seconds between a query and a reply. To avoid missing a reply, you can program a 2-second delay into any channel or frequency. When your scanner stops on a channel or frequency with a programmed delay, :BOý appears and the scanner continues to monitor that channel or frequency for 2 seconds after the transmission stops before it resumes scanning, searching, or tuning.

You can program a 2-second delay in any of these ways:

•If the scanner is scanning and stops on an active channel, quickly press DELAY/´ before it resumes scanning.

•If the desired channel is not selected, manually select the channel, then press DELAY/´.

•If the scanner is searching or tuning, press DELAY/´. :BO appears and the scanner automatically adds a 2- second delay to every transmission it stops on in that band.

To turn off the 2-second delay in a channel or for all frequencies, press DELAY/´ while the scanner is monitoring that channel or frequency. :BO disappears.
