SPECIAL FEATURES
USING PRIORITY
CHANNELS
The priority feature lets you scan
through channels and still not miss
important or interesting calls on spe-
cific channels. You can program one
stored channel in each bank as a pri-
ority channel (up to 10 stored chan-
nels in total). As the scanner scans
the bank, if the priority feature is
turned on, the scanner checks the
priority channels every 2 seconds for
activity.
The scanner automatically desig-
nates each bank’s first channel as its
priority channel. Follow these steps
to select a different channel as the
priority channel for a bank.
1. Press PGM .
2. Enter the channel number you
want to select as the priority
channel, then press
PRI/HYPER
SEARCH . appears to the left

nel in each bank you want to
program as a priority channel.

ority channel,

pears when you turn on the priority
feature.
To confirm all priority channel num-
bers, press
PGM , then repeatedly
press PRI/HYPER SEARCH to see the
priority channels.
To turn on the priority feature, press
PRI/HYPER SEARCH during scan-
ning. PRIORITY appears and every
2 seconds the scanner checks the
priority channel in each bank that is
turned on, starting from the lowest-
numbered to the highest-numbered
priority channel. If there is a trans-
mission on the priority channel, the
scanner tunes the transmission until
it stops.
The scanner does not check the
channel if it is in a bank which is
turned off or if the priority channel is
locked out.
To turn off the priority feature, press
