Monitoring a Single Channel/Power Save Circuit
You can monitor a single channel with your scanner by navigating to that chan-
nel while in manual mode. The scanner will receive traffic on the selected fre-
quency.
Your scanner features a power save circuit that is automatically activated any
time you manually select a channel. The power save mode works by allowing
the receiver to “sleep” briefly while waiting for a call on the selected channel.
Power Save On
appears when the scanner enters power save mode. The power
save circuit is disabled when the scanner receive the signal.
