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-seocnd delay into
any of your scanner’s channels. Then, when the scanner stops
on the channel, DELAY appears and the scanner continues to
monitor the channel for 2 seconds after the transmission stops
before it resumes scanning.
You can program a 2-second delay in any of these ways:
· If the scanner is scanning and stops on an active channel,
quickly press DLY before it starts to scan again.
· If the desired channel is not selected, manually select the
channel then press DLY.
· If the scanner is searching, press DLY during the search.
DELAY appears and the scanner automatically adds a 2-
second delay to every transmission it stops on.
LOCKING OUT A CHANNEL
You can scan existing channels faster by locking out a channel
that has a continuous transmission.
To lock out a channel, select the channel then press L-OUT.
L/O appears.
To remove the lockout from a channel, manually select the
channel then press L-OUT until L/O disappears.
Notes:
. You can still manually select locked-out channels.
. Your scanner automatically locks out empty channels.
USING THE DISPLAY BACKLIGHT
You can turn on the display’s backlight for easy viewing in
dimly-lit areas. Press LICHT to turn on the display light for 5
seconds. To turn off the light before it automatically turns off,
press LICHT again.
TURNING THE KEY TONE ON AND OFF
Each time you press any of the scanner’s keys (except (key
symbol) and LICHT), the scanner sounds a tone.
Follow these steps to turn the scanner’s key tone off or back
on.
1. If the scanner is on, turn VOLUME counterclockwise until it
clicks to turn it off.
2. While you hold down the 2 and E keys, turn on the scanner.
3. After 1 second, release 2 and E.
