Scanning
Scanning sequentially checks all saved channels for activity. You must 
save frequencies into channels to scan. The scanner does not scan 
empty channels or unsaved frequencies.
You can increase the scanning speed by locking out channels with 
continuous transmissions, such as a weather channel or turning off 
entire banks. Turning off a bank prevents the scanner from scanning 
any channels within the bank. You cannot turn off all banks. There 
must be at least one active bank to scan.
To scan:
1.  Press SCAN. The scanner checks all unlocked channels in the 
active banks. To change the scan direction, press  or .
2.  To stop on a channel, press PSE.
3.  To lock out a channel, when the scanner stops on the channel, 
press L/OUT.
4.  To turn off a bank, press the bank’s number so the bank’s number 
disappears. To turn on a bank, press the number key so the 
bank’s number appears.
