SPECIAL FEATURES

DELAY

Many agencies use a two-way radio system that might have a period of 2 or more seconds between a query and a reply. To keep from missing a reply, you can program a 2-second delay into any channel or frequency. The scanner continues to monitor the fre- quency for 2 seconds after the trans- mission stops before resuming scanning or searching.

To program a 2-second delay:

•If the scanner is scanning chan- nel-storage banks and stops on an active channel where you want to store a delay, quickly press DELAY before scanning resumes. DELAY appears.

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

•If the scanner is searching, press DELAY. DELAY appears and the scanner automatically adds a 2- second delay to every transmis- sion it stops on in that band or limit range.

To turn off the 2-second delay, press DELAY while the scanner is monitoring the channel or searching service banks or limit ranges. DELAY disap- pears.

TURNING CHANNEL- STORAGE BANKS ON AND OFF

You can turn each channel-storage bank on and off. When you turn off a bank, the scanner does not scan any of the 30 channels in that bank.

While scanning, press the number key that corresponds to the bank you want to turn on or off. If the bank number is on, the bank is turned on and the scanner scans all channels within that bank that are not locked out. If the bank number is off, the scanner does not scan any of the channels within that bank.

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 is always active.
