SPECIAL FEATURES
DELAY
Sometimes a user might pause before replying to a
transmission. To avoid missing a reply on a specific
channel, you can program a 2-second delay into any
channel or frequency. The scanner continues to moni-
tor the channel frequency for an additional 2 seconds
after the transmission stops before resuming scanning
or searching.
Depending on how the scanner is operating, follow one
of these steps to program a delay.
• If the scanner is
scanning and stops
on an active channel
where you want to
store a delay, quickly
press
DELAY
before it
continues scanning
again.
