Radio Shack Pro-71 owner manual Priority, Using the Display Backlight

Notes:

•If you program more than 20 skip frequencies, each new frequency replaces one you stored earlier, starting from the first stored fre- quency.

•You can select a skipped frequency by using ▼ or ▲ when the scanner is holding. L/O appears when you select a skipped fre- quency.

PRIORITY

You can scan through channels and still not miss an important call on a specific channel. When a channel is selected as the priority channel and priority is turned on, the scanner checks that channel every 2 sec- onds, and stays on the channel if there is activity until the activity stops. PRI appears whenever the scanner is set to use priority.

The scanner is preset to select Channel 1 as the priority channel. To program a different channel as the priority channel, press PROGRAM, the desired channel number, then PRIORITY. P appears beside the channel number.

To turn on the priority feature, press PRIORITY while MAN or SCAN ap- pear. To turn off the priority feature, press PRIORITY. PRI disappears.

Notes:

•You can select only one channel at a time as the priority channel.

•You cannot select a monitor memory when priority is turned on.

USING THE DISPLAY BACKLIGHT

You can turn on the display’s backlight for easy viewing in the dark.

Press to turn on the display light for 15 seconds. To turn off the

light before 15 seconds elapses, press again.

Note: The scanner locks the keypad (see “Using the Keylock” on

Page 26) if you hold down . If this happens, hold down until the scanner beeps and KEYLOCK disappears.
