SPECIAL FEATURES
DELAY
Many agencies use a two-way radio
system that might have a pause of
several seconds between a query and
a reply. To avoid missing a reply, you
can program a 2-second delay into
any of your scanner’s channels or fre-
quencies. Then, when the scanner
stops on the channel or frequency,
DLY
appears on the display and the
scanner continues to monitor the
channel/frequency for 2 seconds after
the transmission stops before it re-
sumes scanning or searching.
You can program a 2-second delay in
any of the following ways:
• If the scanner is scanning and
stops on an active channel,
quickly press
DELAY
before it
starts to scan again.
• If the desired channel is not
selected, manually select the
channel then press
DELAY
.
• If the scanner is searching, press
DELAY
during the search.
DLY
appears on the display and the
scanner automatically adds a 2-
second delay to every transmis-
sion it stops on.
To turn off delay on any channel or
frequency, select that channel or fre-
quency then press
DELAY
.
DLY

pears.
SKIPPING
FREQUENCIES/
CHANNELS
You can scan channels and search for
frequencies faster by skipping ones
that have a continuous transmission,
such as a weather channel. You can
skip up to all 90 channels while scan-
ning or up to 20 frequencies during a
band or direct search.
To skip a channel/frequency while
scanning or searching, press
S/S
-
LOCKOUT
when the scanner stops on
it.
Notes:
• If you skip more than 20 search
frequencies, each new frequency
replaces an earlier one, starting
from the first stored frequency.
• You can manually select skipped
frequencies after you press
HOLD
to stop a search. The scanner dis-
plays
L/O
when you select a
skipped frequency.
