MANUALLY SELECTING A CHANNEL
You can continuously monitor a specific channel without scanning. This
is useful if you hear an emergency broadcast on a channel and do not
want to miss any details — even though there might be periods of si-
lence — or if you want to monitor a specific channel.
Follow these steps to manually select a channel.
1. Press 
MANUAL
.
2. Enter the channel number.
3. Press 
MANUAL
 again.
Or, if your scanner is scanning and stops at the desired channel, press
MANUAL
 one time. (Pressing 
MANUAL
 additional times causes your
scanner to step through the channels.)
To resume automatic scanning after manually selecting a channel,
press 
SCAN
. Your scanner then scans through all non-locked channels
in the activated banks.
