With Direct Tune in RACE mode, you can select and monitor single channels.

Press Direct Tune on the keypad to the right of the LCD.

Enter the desired seven-digit frequency, using the numbers on the keypad. Seven digits must be entered. The scanner will not tune until all dashes are filled.

In RACE mode, the first digit entered must be the number “4”, or the entered frequency will not be accepted.

NOTE: If an incomplete or partial frequency, or one that does not exist is entered, the radio will return to scan mode after ten seconds.

After a station is keyed there is a two-second delay. The scanner will then switch to and monitor only that frequency. The displayed frequency can then be monitored exclusively, blocking all other transmissions or added to the memory as a preset.

NOTE: To add a preset frequency, tune to the desired frequency, select any numbered button on the keypad, and hold for three seconds.

To switch back to normal scan mode from single-channel monitoring, press and release the Backspace/Clear button.
