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 MAN or PGM to select the
channel, then press L/O/SEARCH
SKIP so LOCKOUT appears on the
display.
Notes:
• You can still manually select
locked out channels.
• You cannot lock out all channels.
There must be at least one
active channel in each bank.
To unlock a channel, manually select
the channel, then press
L/O/SEARCH
SKIP so LOCKOUT disappears from
the display.
To unlock all channels, while the
scanner is scanning, select the
banks containing the locked chan-
nels you want to unlock, press
MAN-
UAL , then press and hold L/O/
SEARCH SKIP until the scanner
beeps twice.
