USING THE 2-SECOND
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-second delay
into any of your scanner’s channels
or frequencies. Then, when the scan-
ner stops on the channel or frequen-
cy,
DELAY appears and the scanner
continues to monitor the channel/fre-
quency for 2 seconds after the trans-
mission stops before it resumes
scanning or searching.
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
DELAY before it
starts to scan again. DELAY
appears.
• If the desired channel is not
selected, manually select the
channel then press
DELAY .
DELAY appears
• If the scanner is searching,
press DELAY during the search.
DELAY appears and the scan-
ner automatically adds a 2-sec-
ond delay to every transmission
it stops on.
To turn off delay, press DELAY when
DELAY is displayed.
LOCKING OUT
CHANNELS
You can set your scanner to scan
more efficiently by locking out chan-
nels you do not want to monitor. This
is handy for locking out channels
where you stored a frequency with a
continuous transmission, such as a
weather channel.
To lock out a channel, press MANU-
AL , enter the desired channel num-
ber, press MANUAL or PGM to select
the channel, then press L/O/SEARCH
SKIP so LOCKOUT appears.
Note: You can still manually select
locked out channels.
