3:SYSTEM OPTION

→ 7:DATA SKIP

1:ON

The scanner skips data frequencies.

2:OFF

Data skip is turned off.

Note: Even with this option turned on, the scanner might

pause for a couple of seconds on data transmissions
before resuming.

Skipping Frequencies

If a particular frequency continues to interrupt search
scanning, it is possible to set your scanner to skip the
frequency.

To skip over a frequency, press L/O when the scanner is
stopped on a frequency you want to skip.

Notes: • You can program up to 200 skip frequencies. The

201st skip frequency entered causes the first
skipped frequency to unlock.

• If all frequencies in the search range are set to

skip, a beep sounds and it moves to Search Hold
mode. To resume searching:

1) Unskip all skipped frequencies

—- OR —-

2) Select a different Search Frequency range.

To unskip all skipped frequencies, press and hold
L/O for 2 seconds in Search Hold mode.

Storing Found Frequencies

If you find a frequency you want to save into a channel,
simply press TRNSFR when the scanner is stopped on that
frequency. The scanner displays the lowest-numbered empty
channel. Use the scroll bar to select the channel you want to
save the frequency into, then press E.

Notes: • If you have already stored this frequency, the scan-

ner displays WARNING DUPLICATE and the chan-
nel where the frequency is stored. To store the fre-
quency anyway, press E again.

• After you store the frequency, the scanner resumes

searching.

• If all channels are used, the scanner defaults to the

last-used channel prior to entering the search mode.
