Storing Search Frequencies

You can quickly store any frequency you find during Search.

1. During Search, press HOLD/RESUME. If you want to change

the frequency, use the

▲ or ▼ key to move up or down 1

frequency step. Then press E. Or when the scanner stops on
the frequency you want to store, press E.

2. Select a bank you want to store by using the keypad. The

smallest empty channel number and the frequency alternately
appear on the display. If necessary, you can also change the
channel by using the keypad, the

▲ or ▼ key.

Note: • If the frequency you want to store exists already in a bank, you will hear an error

tone and other channel appears on the display. (See “Duplicate Frequency Alert”
on page 22.)

• After storing the frequency, it moves to the Search Hold mode.

• If there is no free channel, the frequency you want to store will automatically be

stored in the first channel in the selected bank.

4. Press SRCH to resume searching.

Delay

To help prevent missing a reply on a specific channel or frequency, you can program a two-
second delay into any channel, frequency, service band or band search. When scan or
search stops on a channel or frequency, there is a two-second pause before the scanning
cycle resumes.

To activate the Delay feature (in either Scan mode or Search mode):

1. For Highway Scan mode or Private Scan mode, when in Hold mode, select the desired

frequency or channel and then press DELAY. Or when the scanner stops on an active
frequency or channel, quickly press DELAY before it continues scanning again.

1. For Search mode, while searching press DELAY.
