Temporary lockout locks out an object until the scanner is turned off. When the scanner is powered on
again, all objects that have been temporarily locked out are restored.
By default, the L/OUT key activates temporary lockout when pressed. If desired, you can change the
function of the L/OUT key in the GLOB radio wide settings by pressing PGM, then the GLOB softkey. Scroll
to the TLO=FUNC L/O setting and press the > key to toggle the setting to YES to have the L/OUT key
function as a permanent lockout instead of temporary lockout.
To apply temporary lockout to an object, press the L/OUT key while the scanner is stopped on that object
during scan operation, or navigate to an object using the 5-way pushbutton pad while in Manual Mode or
PGM mode and press the L/OUT key. The lowercase “l” in the display flashes to indicate that temporary
lockout is applied to the object:

If you wish to remove temporary lockout from a single object, navigate to the object using the 5-way
pushbutton pad while in Manual Mode or PGM mode and press the L/OUT key again.
Temporary lockout is a very useful feature. For example, when a major incident occurs while you are
scanning, you may wish to focus your scanning on that major incident, and exclude unrelated talkgroups so
that radio traffic associated with the major incident is not interrupted.
You could press the PSE or MAN keys to listen to a single object, if communications for the major incident
are only being conducted on single channel or talkgroup. More often, several talkgroups are used to
provide communications for major incidents, so if you park on a single object, you may miss
communications on other objects that are related to the incident of interest.
By using Temporary Lockout, it is possible to “zoom in” on the objects that are carrying communications
related to the incident of interest by pressing L/OUT every time an unrelated object becomes active.
Eventually you will narrow down your monitoring to those objects that are being used to provide
communications for the incident you are trying to monitor.
Permanent Lockout
Permanent lockout locks out an object until you explicitly unlock it. No traffic will be received on the locked
out object while permanent lockout is active.
To apply permanent lockout to an object, press FUNC, then the L/OUT key while the scanner is stopped on
that object during scan operation, or navigate to an object using the 5-way pushbutton pad while in Manual
Mode or PGM mode and press FUNC, then the L/OUT key. The lowercase “l” in the display changes to
