Settings
To remove the lockout from a channel, manually select the channel, then 
press L/O. L/O disappears.
To unlock all channels in the selected banks, press SCAN/MAN to stop 
scanning, then hold down L/O until the scanner beeps twice.
Setting Priority
The priority feature lets you scan through the channels and still not miss 
important or interesting calls on specific channels. You can program one 
stored channel in each bank as a priority channel. The scanner checks the 
designated priority channel every two seconds in each bank.
Press PRI during scanning to turn the priority feature on and off. Pri ON 
appears for several seconds when priority is turned on. And Pri OFF appears 
for several seconds when priority is turned off.
