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 the scanner is scanning and stops at the desired channel, press
MANUAL
 once. (Pressing 
MANUAL
 additional times causes your scan-
ner to step through the channels.)
To resume automatic scanning after manually selecting a channel,
press 
SCAN
.
