SPECIAL FEATURES

DELAY

Many agencies use a two-way radio system that might have a pause of several seconds between a query and a reply. To avoid missing a reply, you can program a 2-second delay into any of your scanner’s channels or fre- quencies. Then, when the scanner stops on the channel or frequency, DLY appears on the display and the scanner continues to monitor the channel/frequency for 2 seconds after the transmission stops before it re- sumes scanning or searching.

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

•If the scanner is scanning and stops on an active channel, quickly press DELAY before it starts to scan again.

CH

To turn off delay on any channel or frequency, select that channel or fre- quency then press DELAY. DLY disap- pears.

SKIPPING

FREQUENCIES/

CHANNELS

You can scan channels and search for frequencies faster by skipping ones that have a continuous transmission, such as a weather channel. You can skip up to all 90 channels while scan- ning or up to 20 frequencies during a band or direct search.

To skip a channel/frequency while scanning or searching, press S/S- LOCKOUT when the scanner stops on it.

Notes:

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

•If the scanner is searching, press DELAY during the search. DLY appears on the display and the scanner automatically adds a 2- second delay to every transmis- sion it stops on.

•If you skip more than 20 search frequencies, each new frequency replaces an earlier one, starting from the first stored frequency.

•You can manually select skipped frequencies after you press HOLD to stop a search. The scanner dis- plays L/O when you select a skipped frequency.
