BATTERY SAVE
To save battery power when a channel is manually se-
lected, the scanner’s battery save function automatically
sets the scanner to a standby mode if the scanner does
not receive any signals for more than 1 minute. During
the standby mode, the scanner repeatedly turns off the
internal power for 1 second then turns on the internal
power for about
1
/

of a second to check for a transmis-
sion.
Note: The scanner’s battery save function does not work
if the priority function is on, even if a channel is manually
selected.
SKIPPING DATA SIGNALS
You can set the scanner so it skips nonmodulated or
data signals (such as modem transmissions) during a
search.
Note: Since data signals are not generally found in the
air band, this feature does not work in the air band.
To turn on the data skip feature, be sure the priority fea-
ture is turned off (see “Priority” on Page 28), then press
DATA
.
DATA
appears. To turn off the feature, press
