• If you select more than 200 frequencies to skip, “L/O List Full!” appears.
• Press or select a skipped frequency while PAUSE appears. L/O appears when you
select a skipped frequency.
scanning the stored channels
To begin scanning channels, press SCAN/ . The scanner scans through all non-locked
channels in the activated banks. (See “locking out channels” and “turning channel-storage
banks on and off”). When the scanner finds a transmission, it stops on it. When the
transmission ends, the scanner resumes scanning.
Notes:
• If you have not stored frequencies into any channels, the scanner does not scan.
• If the scanner picks up unwanted partial, or very weak transmissions, turn SQUELCH
clockwise to decrease the scanner’s sensitivity to these signals.
• To listen to a weak or distant station, turn SQUELCH counterclockwise.
• To ensure proper scanning, adjust SQUELCH until the audio mutes
• To scan in the trunk scanning mode, see “trunking operation.”
manually selecting a channel
You can continuously monitor a single channel without scanning. This is useful if you hear
an emergency broadcast on a channel and do not want to miss any details —even though
there might be periods of silence — or if you want to monitor a specific channel.
Press MAN to stop scanning, enter the channel number, and then press SCAN/ . The
selected channel appears.
Or, during scanning, if the radio stops at a desired channel, press PSE. During pausing
scan mode, you can’t select the channel by or . Press PSE to resume automatic
scanning.
special features
delay
Sometimes a user might pause before replying to a transmission. To avoid missing a reply
on a specific channel, the scanner automatically programs a 2-second delay into any
channel or frequency. You can monitor the channel frequency for an additional 2 seconds
after the transmission stops before resuming scanning or searching.
Depending on the scanner operation, follow one of these steps to turn off or on a delay.
• To turn off the 2-second delay, press
•/DELAY while the scanner is monitoring a channel, scanning, or searching. DLY
disappears.
• To turn on the 2-second delay to a channel again, select the channel and press • /DELAY.
DLY appears.
• To turn on the 2-second delay to search again, press • /DELAY while the scanner is
searching.
