SPECIAL FEATURES
Turning Channel-Storage Banks On and Off
You can turn each channel-storage bank on and off. When you turn off
a bank, the scanner does not scan any of the 20 channels in that bank.
While scanning, press the number key corresponding to the bank you
want to turn on or off. If the memory bank number at the top of the dis¬
play is on, the bank is turned on and the scanner scans all channels
within that bank that are not locked out. If the indicator is off, the scan¬
ner does not scan any of the channels within that bank.
Notes:
• You can manually select any channel In a bank, even if the bank
is turned off.
• There must be at least one active bank. You cannot turn off all
banks.
MANUALLY SELECTING A CHANNEL
You can continuously monitor a specific channel without scanning.

do not want to miss any details (even though there might be periods of
silence) or if you want to monitor a specific channel.

ber. Mien 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.

and then program a channel with that delay time.
