SPECIAL FEATURES

DESIGNATING A PRIORITY CHANNEL

By designating a priority channel, you can scan through the pro- grammed channels and still not miss an important or interesting call on a specific channel.

Note: You can select only one chan- nel as the priority channel.

To program a stored channel as the priority channel, press PGM, the de- sired stored channel number, then PRI/HYPER SEARCH. P appears on the display.

To turn on the priority feature, press PRI/HYPER SEARCH during scan- ning. PRIORITY appears on the display. The scanner now checks the priority channel every 2 seconds, and stays on the channel if there is activity. P appears on the display whenever the scanner is set to the priority channel.

To turn off the priority feature, press PRI/HYPER SEARCH until PRIORI- TY disappears from the display.

USING THE 2-SECOND DELAY

Many agencies use a two-way radio system that might have 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. When the scanner stops on an active channel with a programmed delay, it continues to monitor the channel for 2 seconds af- ter the activity stops before resuming scanning.

To program a 2-second delay into a specific channel, manually select the desired channel then press DLY. DE- LAY appears on the display.

To program a 2-second delay when the scanner stops on an active chan- nel during scanning, quickly press DLY while the channel is still active. DELAY appears on the display.

To turn off the programmed delay on any active channel, press DLY while the channel is still active. DELAY dis- appears from the display.
