USING BAND SEARCH
Follow these steps to search for trans-

see the search band you want to
search.
SRCH and the range for each
search band appears. Then, after
about 3 seconds,
SRCH s or
SRCH t appears, and the scanner
starts to automatically search the
frequencies in the band. When the
scanner finds a transmission, it
stops on that frequency and the
frequency’s number appears until
the transmission stops, then the
scanner starts searching again.
You can change the direction of either

pressing the opposite arrow key (s or
t) once.

ed appear.
Repeatedly press s to search from the

range. Hold down s or t to quickly step
through the frequencies. Press

MONITORING A
FREQUENCY
When the scanner displays a specific
frequency while scanning the banks or
searching the search bands, you can
continuously monitor that frequency.
This is useful if you hear an emergen-
cy broadcast on a frequency and do
not want to miss any details (even
though there might be periods of si-
lence).
To monitor a frequency while it ap-
pears during scanning or searching,
press
HOLD until HOLD appears. The
scanner stays on the frequency.
To continue scanning a bank, press
a service search bank button,
WX,
or PRIVATE . To continue automatically
searching a search band, press
SEARCH . To continue manually
searching a search band, press s or t.
