DELAY
Many agencies use a two-
way radio system that has a
period of several seconds
between a query and a re-
ply. To avoid missing a re-
ply, you can program a 2-
second delay into any chan-
nel or frequency. When your
scanner stops on a channel
or frequency with a pro-
grammed delay,
DLY
ap-
pears. The scanner con-
tinues to monitor that fre-
quency for 2 seconds after
the transmission stops. Then
the scanner resumes scan-
ning or searching.
You can program a 2-second
delay in any of these ways:
• If the scanner is scan-
ning and stops on an
active channel, quickly
press
DELAY
before it
resumes scanning.
• If the desired channel is
not selected, manually
select the channel, then
press
DELAY
.
• If the scanner is search-
ing, press
DELAY
.
DLY
appears and the scan-
ner automatically adds a
2-second delay to every
transmission it stops on
during a limit or direct
search.
To turn off the 2-second de-
lay on a channel or frequen-
cy, press
DELAY
while the
scanner is monitoring that
channel or frequency.
DLY
disappears.
TURNING
CHANNEL-
STORAGE BANKS
ON AND OFF
You can turn each channel-
storage bank on and off.
When you turn off a bank,
the scanner does not scan
any of the 20 channels in
that bank.
While scanning, press the
number key corresponding
to the bank you want to turn
on or off. (Press
0
to select
bank 10). If the memory
bank indicator is on, the
bank is turned on and the
scanner scans all channels
within that bank that are not
locked out. If the indicator is
off, the scanner does not
scan any of the channels
within that bank.
