• While scanning, press the number key that corresponds
to the bank you want to turn on or off.
Numbers appear at the top of the display, showing the
currently selected banks.
The scanner scans all the channels within the displayed banks
that are not locked out (see next chapter “Locking Out
Channels”). The bank number flashes when the scanner
scans a channel that belongs to the bank.
Notes:
• You can manually select any channel within a bank, even
if that bank is turned off.
• You cannot turn off all banks. One bank must always be
active.
Locking Out Channels
You can increase the scanning speed by locking out channels
that have a continuous transmission.
• To lock out a channel, manually select the channel, then
press Func + L/O. L/O appears.
Note: You can still manually select locked-out channels.
• To remove the lockout from a channel, manually select
the channel, then press Func + L/O. L/O disappears.
• To unlock all channels in the banks that are turned on,
press Hold to stop scanning, then press Func and press
and hold L/O until the scanner beeps twice.
Priority
The priority feature lets you scan through the channels and
still not miss important or interesting calls on specific channels.
You can program one stored channel in each bank as a
priority channel (10 for the banks).
If the priority feature is turned on, as the scanner scans the
bank, it checks that bank's priority channel for activity every 2
seconds. The scanner automatically designates each bank's
first channel as its priority channel.
Follow these steps to select a different channel in a bank as
the priority channel.
• Manually select the channel you want to select as the
priority channel.
• Press Func + Pgm, then press Func + Pri. P appears to
the left of the selected channel number.
• Repeat these steps for the channel in each bank you
want to program as a priority channel.
• To turn on the priority feature, press Func + Pri during
scanning. PRI appears.
Then the scanner checks the designated priority channel
every 2 seconds in each bank.
• To turn off the priority feature, press Func + Pri. PRI
