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.
To turn off the delay, press DLY when DELAY is displayed.
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.
USING THE KEYLOCK
Once you program your scanner, you can protect it from accidental program changes by turning on the
keylock feature. When the keypad is locked, the only controls that operate are LICHT, VOLUME, and
SQUELCH (and the scanner continues to scan channels).
