Uniden BC296D manual Skipping Frequencies, Storing Found Frequencies

3:SYSTEM OPTION → 7:DATA SKIP

1:ON

The scanner skips data frequencies.

2:OFF

Data skip is turned off.

Note: Even with this option turned on, the scanner might pause for a couple of seconds on data transmissions before resuming.

Skipping Frequencies

If a particular frequency continues to interrupt search scanning, it is possible to set your scanner to skip the frequency.

To skip over a frequency, press L/O when the scanner is stopped on a frequency you want to skip.

Notes: • You can program up to 200 skip frequencies. The 201st skip frequency entered causes the first skipped frequency to unlock.

•If all frequencies in the search range are set to skip, a beep sounds and it moves to Search Hold mode. To resume searching:

1) Unskip all skipped frequencies

—- OR —-

2) Select a different Search Frequency range.

To unskip all skipped frequencies, press and hold L/O for 2 seconds in Search Hold mode.

Storing Found Frequencies

If you find a frequency you want to save into a channel, simply press TRNSFR when the scanner is stopped on that frequency. The scanner displays the lowest-numbered empty channel. Use the scroll bar to select the channel you want to save the frequency into, then press E.

Notes: • If you have already stored this frequency, the scan- ner displays WARNING DUPLICATE and the chan- nel where the frequency is stored. To store the fre- quency anyway, press E again.

•After you store the frequency, the scanner resumes searching.

•If all channels are used, the scanner defaults to the last-used channel prior to entering the search mode.
