Turning Channel-Storage
Banks On and Off
You can set your scanner to scan
more efficiently by turning selected
channel storage banks on and off.
When you turn off a bank, the scan-
ner does not scan any of the 10
channels in the bank.
While scanning, press the number
key corresponding to the bank you
want to turn on or off. 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.
Notes:
• You can manually select any
channel in a bank, even if the
bank is turned off.
• You cannot turn off all banks.
There must be at least one
active bank.
MANUALLY SELECTING
A CHANNEL
You can continuously monitor a spe-
cific channel without scanning. This
is useful if you hear an emergency
broadcast on a channel and want to
hear all the details (even though
there might be periods of silence) or
if you want to monitor only a specific
channel or a locked-out channel.
To manually select a channel, press
MANUAL
, enter the channel number,
then press
MANUAL
again.
If scanning has stopped at the de-
sired channel, simply press
MANUAL
once.
Repeatedly press
MANUAL
to step
through the channels one at a time.
