Scanning and Monitoring
Press SCAN/MAN until SCAN appears to continuously
scan through all channels with stored frequencies. If
the scanner finds an active frequency, it pauses until
the transmission ends. Press or to change the
scanning direction. To monitor a channel, press SCAN/
MAN so that MAN appears.
The scanner does not scan channels in banks that are
turned off. To turn a channel-storage bank on or off,
press the bank’s number key (1–0, using 0 for bank
10) during scanning. The channel-storage banks that
are ON have a bar underneath them.
• You cannot turn off all banks; there must be at
least one active bank.
• You can manually select any channel in a bank,
even if the bank is turned off.
Setting Delay
To avoid missing a reply in conversations, a two-second
delay is automatically set for each channel. The scanner
stops for two seconds after a transmission ends before
it resumes scanning or searching. DLY appears on the
display when the delay function is active.
To turn delay on:
• If the scanner is scanning and stops on an active
channel, quickly press •/DELAY before it resumes.
• If the desired channel is not selected, manually
select the channel, then press •/DELAY.
• If the scanner is searching, press •/DELAY. DLY
appears and the scanner adds a two-second delay
to every transmission it stops on in that bank.
To turn delay off:
Press •/DELAY while the scanner is monitoring a
channel or frequency. DLY disappears.
