Notes:
. You can use the scanner’s delay feature while searching the search bank. See “Using the Delay Function”
on Page XX.
. You can set CTCSS or DCS mode when searching any search range, except for SR0, SR1, and SR4. The
scanner will display detected CTCSS or DCS codes depending on the mode setting. See “Using CTCSS
and DCS” on Page XX.
. The scanner does not search locked-out frequencies while searching ranges. See “Locking Out Channels

. You can use the PAUSE key to temporarily pause the search operation. The scanner will remain on the
