Ô NOTES Ô

•You can use the scanner’s delay feature while searching the search bank. See “Using the Delay Function” on Page 66.

•You can set CTCSS or DCS mode when searching any search range, except for SR0, SR1, and SR4. The scanner will display detected CTCSS or DCS codes depending on the mode setting. See “Using CTCSS and DCS” on Page 50.

•The scanner does not search locked-out frequencies while searching ranges. See “Locking Out Channels or Frequencies” on Page 67.

•You can use the PAUSE key to temporarily pause the search operation. The scanner will remain on the frequency that was active when PAUSE was pressed until you press PAUSE again. You can simply listen to the radio traffic on the paused frequency, or perform copy operations to save the frequency to a channel before you resume your search (see “Using Frequency Copy” on Page 61).

least one active channel storage bank.

You can manually select any channel in a channel storage bank, even if the bank is turned off.

Monitoring a Single

Channel/Battery Save

Circuit

You can monitor a single channel with your scanner by navigating to that channel while in manual mode. The scanner will receive traffic on the selected frequency.

Your scanner features a battery save circuit that is automatically activated any time you manually select a channel. The battery save mode works by allowing the receiver to “sleep” briefly while waiting for a call on the selected channel. The battery save circuit is disabled when the scanner is tuned to a channel in program mode.

Using CTCSS and DCS

Your scanner’s advanced, DSP based CTCSS and DCS decoder allows you to listen only to the group that is of interest to you by specifying the group’s specific CTCSS or DCS code for a certain frequency. CTCSS and DCS can also help reduce instances where interfering signals cause your scanner to stop on one channel.Ô

When your scanner stops on a conventional frequency that is configured for CTCSS or DCS, it checks for a match between the
