SPECIAL FEATURES
DELAY
Many agencies use a two-way radio
system that might have a period of 2
or more seconds between a query and
a reply. To keep from missing a reply,
you can program a 2-second delay
into any channel or frequency. The
scanner continues to monitor the fre-
quency for 2 seconds after the trans-
mission stops before resuming
scanning or searching.
To program a 2-second delay:
• If the scanner is scanning chan-
nel-storage banks and stops on
an active channel where you want
to store a delay, quickly press
DELAY before scanning resumes.
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 . DELAY appears and the
scanner automatically adds a 2-
second delay to every transmis-
sion it stops on in that band or
limit range.
To turn off the 2-second delay, press
DELAY while the scanner is monitoring
the channel or searching service
banks or limit ranges.

TURNING CHANNEL-
STORAGE BANKS ON
AND OFF
You can turn each channel-storage
bank on and off. When you turn off a
bank, the scanner does not scan any
of the 30 channels in that bank.
While scanning, press the number key
that corresponds to the bank you want
to turn on or off. If the bank number is
on, the bank is turned on and the
scanner scans all channels within that
bank that are not locked out. If the
bank number is off, the scanner does
not scan any of the channels within
that bank.
Notes:
• You can manually select any
channel within a bank, even if that
bank is turned off.
• You cannot turn off all banks. One
bank is always active.
