Channel Lockout
You can lock out a channel so it is not scanned. Channel Lockout does not erase the frequency from the channel. You can lock out up to 100 channels, including the Priority channel. Lockout information is retained in the memory when the scanner is turned off.
To Lock out a Channel
Example: Suppose you want to lock out Channel 2 because it stops on transmissions you don't want to hear.
Press LOCKOUT when the scanner stops on
Channel 2.
The scanner locks out Channel 2. Then it immediately advances to the next channel that is not locked out, and resumes scanning.
In the Manual mode, press LOCKOUT to lock out the displayed channel. Pressing LOCKOUT does not advance to the next channel in Manual mode.
L/O appears in the display to indicate the displayed channel is locked out.
Whenever you want to search for channels that are locked out, press MANUAL repeatedly to go through all 100 channels. If a channel is locked out, L/O appears in the display.
