MANUALLY SELECTING A CHANNEL
You can continuously monitor a single channel without scanning. This is useful if you hear an emergency broadcast and want to hear all the details, or if you want to monitor a channel you locked out.
To monitor a channel while scanning, press MANUAL, enter the channel number, then press MANUAL again.
NOTE: When you enter CH1 to CH19, the display shows the channel number which you enter. When you enter CH20, the display shows "0".
If scanning has stopped at the desired channel, simply press MANUAL once.
Repeatedly press MANUAL to step through the channels one at a time.
LOCKING OUT CHANNELS
You can set your scanner to scan more efficiently by locking out channels you do not want to monitor, such as channels with a continuous transmission.
Enter the channel number you want to lock out and press MANUAL. Then press LOCKOUT so L/O appears on the display.
NOTES: You can still manually select locked out channels.
You cannot lock out all channels.
To unlock a channel, manually select the channel and press LOCKOUT so L/O disappears.
