Channel Lockout
You can lock out a channel so it is not scanned. Locked out does not erase the
frequency from the channel. You can lock out up to 29 channels, including the
Priority channel, but not all 30 channels. Lockout information is retained in
memory when the scanner is turned off.
To Lockout a Channel
Example: Suppose you want to lock out Channel 2 because it stops on transmissions
you dont want to hear.
Press
LOCKOUT
when the scanner stops on
Channel 2. The scanner locks out Channel 2,
immediately advances to the next channel
that is not locked out, and resumes
scanning. In the Manual mode, press
LOCKOUT
to lock out the displayed
channel. Pressing
LOCKOUT
does not
advance to the next channel in Manual mode.
L/O appears in the LCD display to indicate the displayed channel is locked out.
Whenever you want to search for channels that are locked out, press
Manual
repeatedly to go through all 30 channels. If a channel is locked out, the L/O Icon
is displayed.
