USING BAND SEARCH
Follow these steps to search for trans- missions within any of the scanner’s 11 search bands.
1.Be sure MEMOLOCK OFF/ON is set to OFF (see “Using Memolock” on Page 23).
2.Press SEARCH.
3.Repeatedly press BAND until you see the search band you want to search.
SRCH and the range for each search band appears. Then, after about 3 seconds, SRCH s or SRCH t appears, and the scanner starts to automatically search the frequencies in the band. When the scanner finds a transmission, it stops on that frequency and the frequency’s number appears until the transmission stops, then the scanner starts searching again.
You can change the direction of either an automatic or manual search by pressing the opposite arrow key (s or t) once.
To manually search the search band, press HOLD after the scanner starts automatically searching the frequen- cies. HOLD, SRCH s or SRCH t, and a frequency within the band you select- ed appear.
Repeatedly press s to search from the lower to the upper range, or t to search from the upper to the lower
range. Hold down s or t to quickly step through the frequencies. Press SEARCH to return to automatic search.
MONITORING A
FREQUENCY
When the scanner displays a specific frequency while scanning the banks or searching the search bands, you can continuously monitor that frequency. This is useful if you hear an emergen- cy broadcast on a frequency and do not want to miss any details (even though there might be periods of si- lence).
To monitor a frequency while it ap- pears during scanning or searching, press HOLD until HOLD appears. The scanner stays on the frequency.
To continue scanning a bank, press a service search bank button, WX, or PRIVATE. To continue automatically searching a search band, press SEARCH. To continue manually searching a search band, press s or t.
