Scanning Stored Channels
Press SCAN/MAN until
SCAN
appears to continuously
scan through all channels with stored frequencies.
If the scanner finds an active frequency, it stops and
displays that channel and frequency number, then
it automatically begins scanning again when the
transmission on that frequency ends.
• Press

or

to reverse the scanning direction.
• To monitor a channel, press SCAN/MAN at any time
during the transmission so
MAN
appears.
The scanner does not scan channels in banks that are
turned off.
To turn a channel-storage bank on or off, press the
bank’s number key (
1–0, using 0 for bank 10) during
scanning. The channel-storage banks are on when they
have a bar underneath them and off when no bar appears
underneath them.
• You cannot turn off all banks; there must be at least one
active bank.
• You can manually select any channel in a bank, even if
the bank is turned off.
Setting Delay
To avoid missing a reply in conversations, a two-second
delay is automatically set for each channel. The scanner
stops for two seconds after a transmission ends before
it resumes scanning or searching.
DLY appears on the
display when the delay function is active.
To turn delay on:
• If the scanner is scanning and stops on an active
channel, quickly press •/DELAY before it resumes.
• If the desired channel is not selected, manually select
the channel, then press
•/DELAY
.
• If the scanner is searching, press •/DELAY .
DLY
appears and the scanner adds a two-second delay to
every transmission it stops on in that bank.
To turn delay off:
Press
•/DELAY
while the scanner is monitoring a channel
or frequency.
DLY
disappears.
Using the Priority Channel

specific channel every two seconds while scanning. You
can only program one frequency into the priority channel.

PCH
and
000.000
0
(or the previously stored frequency)
appear.
2. Enter the frequency you want stored in the priority
channel, then press ENT .
3.
To turn on the priority feature, press
PRI/ALERT
during scanning or searching. PRI appears. The
scanner checks the priority channel every two
seconds and stays on the channel if there is activity.
To turn off the priority feature, press
PRI/ALERT.
PRI
disappears.
Monitoring a Channel
You can continuously monitor a specific channel without
scanning.
