Locking Out Channels

You can increase the effective scanning speed by locking out individual
channels that have a continuous transmission, such as a weather chan-
nel. To lock out a channel, manually select the channel and press

L-

OUT/S/S

so

L

appears on the display.

Notes:

You can still manually select locked out channels.

You cannot lock out all channels.

To remove the lock-out from a channel, manually select the channel and
press

L-OUT/S/S

so

L

disappears from the display.

To remove the lock-out from all channels, press

MANUAL

, then press

and hold

L-OUT/S/S

until the scanner beeps twice (about 3 seconds).

MANUALLY SELECTING A CHANNEL

You can continuously monitor a single channel without scanning. This
is useful if you hear an emergency broadcast on a channel and do not
want to miss any details — even though there might be periods of si-
lence — or if you want to monitor a specific channel.

Follow these steps to manually select a channel.

1. Press

MANUAL

.

2. Enter the channel number.

3. Press

MANUAL

again.

Or, if your scanner is scanning and stops at the desired channel, press

MANUAL

one time. (Pressing

MANUAL

additional times causes your

scanner to step through the channels.)

To resume automatic scanning, press

SCAN

. Your scanner then scans

through all non-locked channels.
