SPECIAL FEATURES

USING THE DELAY FUNCTION

Note: The delay function turns on automatically when you turn on the scanner.

Many conversations might have a pause of several sec- onds between a query and a reply. To avoid missing a re- ply, you can program a 2-second delay into any of your scanner’s channels. Then, when the scanner stops on the channel, D appears on the display and the scanner continues to monitor the channel for 2 seconds after the transmission stops before it resumes scanning or search- ing.

You can program a 2-second delay in any of three ways.

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

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

DELAY.

•If the scanner is searching and also stopped or paused, press FUNC then press DELAY to set a delay in a search bank.

LOCKING OUT CHANNELS OR FREQUENCIES

You can scan existing channels or search frequencies faster by locking out channels or frequencies that have a continuous transmission, such as a weather channel.

Locking Out Channels

To lock out a channel while scanning, press L/OUT when the scanner stops on the channel. To lock out a channel manually, select the channel then press L/OUT until L ap- pears on the display.
