SPECIAL FEATURES
DELAY
Many agencies use a two-way radio system that has a period of several sec-
onds between a query and a reply. To avoid missing a reply, you can program
a 2-second delay into any channel or frequency. When your scanner stops on
a channel or frequency with a programmed delay, DLY appears and the scan-
ner continues to monitor that channel or frequency for 2 seconds after the
transmission stops before resuming scanning, searching, or tuning.
You can program a 2-second delay in any of these ways:
• If the scanner is scanning and stops on an active channel, quickly press
DELAY/• before it resumes scanning.
• If the desired channel is not selected, manually select the channel, then
press DELAY/• .
• If the scanner is searching, or tuning, press DELAY/• . DLY appears and the
scanner automatically adds a 2-second delay to every transmission it stops
on in that band.
To turn off the 2-second delay in a channel or for all frequency, press DELAY/•
while the scanner is monitoring that channel or frequency. DLY disappears.
LOCKING OUT CHANNELS OR FREQUENCIES
You can increase the effective scanning or search speed by locking out indi-
vidual channels or frequencies that have a continuous transmission, such as a
weather channel or a birdie frequency (see “Birdie Frequencies” on Page 27).
Locking Out Channels
To lock out a channel during scanning, press L/O/L/O RVW when the scanner
stops on the channel.
To manually lock out a channel, select the channel then press L/O/L/O RVW
until appears.
To remove the lockout from a channel, manually select the channel you want to
delete lockout, then press L/O/L/O RVW until disappears.
Notes:
• Your scanner automatically locks out empty channels.
• You can still manually select locked-out channels.
