USING THE DELAY FEATURE
Many agencies use a two-way radio system that might have a pause of
several seconds between a query and a reply. To avoid missing a reply,
you can program a 2-second delay into any of your scanner's channels or
frequencies. Then, when the scanner stops o n the channel or frequency,
DELAY appears and the scanner continues to monitor the channel/frequency
for 2 seconds after the transmission stops before it resumes scanning or
searching.
You can program a 2-second delay in any of these 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 channel
then press DELAY.
If the scanner is searching, press DELAY during the search. DELAY
appears and the scanner automatically adds a 2 -second delay to every
transmission it stops on.
To turn off delay, press DELAY when DELAY is displayed.
ATTENUATING RECEPTION
To reduce interference or noise caused by signals from a strong local
broadcaster, you can reduce the scanner's sensitivity to signals by
setting the ATT (attenuate) switch on the back of the scanner. Switch
ATT to 10 dB to reduce the scanner's sensitivity, or to 0 dB to receive
the signal without attenuation.
If you switch ATT to 10 dB, your scanner might not receive weak signals.
LOCKING OUT CHANNELS AND FREQUENCIES
You can scan existing channels or search frequencies faster by locking
out channels or frequencies that have a continuous transmission, such as
a weather channel. You can lock out as many as 400 channels and 200
frequencies during a search.
To lock out a channel while scanning, press L/OUT when the scanner stops
on the channel. To lock out a channel manually, select the channel then
press L/OUT until L/OUT appears.
NOTES: You can delete all the frequencies stored in locked -out channels
within a bank.
You can still manually select locked -out channels.
To remove the lockout from a channel, manually select the channel and
press L/OUT until L/OUT disappears.
To lock out a frequency during a band, limit, or direct search, press
L/OUT when the scanner stops on the frequency. The scanner locks out
