Locking Out Channels
You can increase the effective scanning speed by locking out individual
channels that have a continuous transmission, such as a weather chan-
nel. To lock out a channel, manually select the channel and press
L-
OUT/S/S
so
L
appears on the display.
Notes:
•
You can still manually select locked out channels.
•
You cannot lock out all channels.
To remove the lock-out from a channel, manually select the channel and
press
L-OUT/S/S
so
L
disappears from the display.
To remove the lock-out from all channels, press
MANUAL
, then press
and hold
L-OUT/S/S
until the scanner beeps twice (about 3 seconds).
MANUALLY SELECTING A CHANNEL
You can continuously monitor a single channel without scanning. This
is useful if you hear an emergency broadcast on a channel and do not
want to miss any details — even though there might be periods of si-
lence — or if you want to monitor a specific channel.
Follow these steps to manually select a channel.
1. Press
MANUAL
.
2. Enter the channel number.
3. Press
MANUAL
again.
Or, if your scanner is scanning and stops at the desired channel, press
MANUAL
one time. (Pressing
MANUAL
additional times causes your
scanner to step through the channels.)
To resume automatic scanning, press
SCAN
. Your scanner then scans
through all non-locked channels.
