SPECIAL FEATURES
USING THE KEYLOCK
Once you program your scanner, you can protect it from accidental pro-
gram changes by turning on the keylock feature. In this mode, the only
controls that operate are
SCAN , MANUAL , KEYLOCK/ , VOLUME , and
SQUELCH .
Note: The keylock does not prevent the scanner from scanning chan-
nels.
To turn on the keylock, press and hold KEYLOCK/ until the scanner
beeps and KEYLOCK appears on the display. To turn it off, press and
hold KEYLOCK/ until the scanner beeps and KEYLOCK disappears
from the display.
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
LOCK-
OUT/S/S so L/O appears on the display.
To remove the lock-out from a channel, manually select the channel and
press
LOCKOUT/S/S so L/O disappears from the display.
Note: You can manually select locked-out channels.
To remove the lock-out from all channels in a memory bank, follow this
procedure.
1. While scanning, press the number key corresponding to the mem-
ory bank you want to unlock.
2. Press MANUAL to enter the manual mode.
3. Press and hold LOCKOUT for more than 3 seconds. The scanner
beeps twice, and all locked out memory channels in the selected
bank are unlocked.
