SPECIAL FEATURES
DELAY
Many agencies use a two-way radio sys-
tem that might have a pause of several
seconds between a query and a reply.
To avoid missing a reply, you can pro-
gram a 2-second delay into any of your
scanner’s channels or frequencies.
Then, when the scanner stops on the
channel,
DLY
appears and the scanner
continues to monitor the channel for 2
seconds after the transmission stops be-
fore it resumes scanning or searching.
You can program a 2-second delay in ei-
ther of the following ways:
• If the scanner is scanning and stops
on an active channel, quickly press
DELAY
before it starts to scan again.
• If the desired channel is not
selected, manually select the chan-
nel then press
DELAY.
If the scanner is searching, press
DELAY
during the search.
DLY
appears on the
display and the scanner automatically
adds a 2-second delay to every trans-
mission it stops on.
To turn off delay on any channel, select
that channel then press
DELAY
.
DLY
dis-
appears. To turn off delay for all frequen-
cies during a search, simply press
DELAY
.
SKIPPING FREQUENCIES/
CHANNELS
You can scan channels faster by skip-
ping ones that have a continuous trans-
mission, such as a weather channel.
You can lock out up to all 200 channels
while scanning, or skip up to 20 frequen-
cies during a band or direct search.
To skip a channel/frequency while scan-
ning or searching, press
S/S-LOCKOUT
when the scanner stops on it.
Notes:
• If you skip more than 20 search fre-
quencies, each new frequency
replaces an earlier one, starting
from the first stored frequency.
• You can manually select skipped
frequencies after you press
HOLD
to
stop a search. The scanner displays
L/O
when you select a skipped fre-
quency. See “Manually Selecting a
Channel” on Page 18).
Removing Skip from
Frequencies
To remove the skip from a frequency
while searching, press
HOLD
to stop the
search, press ▲ or ▼ to select the
skipped frequency, then repeatedly
press
S/S
until
L/O
disappears.
To remove the skip from all frequencies
at once while searching, hold down
S/S-
LOCKOUT
until the scanner beeps twice.
