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 100 channels in that bank.
While scanning, press the number key that
corresponds to the bank you want to turn on or
off. Numbers appear at the top of the display,
showing the currently selected banks. The scanner
scans all the channels within the displayed banks
that are not locked out. The bank number flashes
when the scanner scans a channel that belongs to
the bank.
Notes:
• You can manually select any channel within a
bank, even if that bank is turned off.
• One bank must always be active.
Locking Out Channels
You can increase the scanning speed by locking
out channels that have a continuous transmission,
such as a weather channel. To lock out a channel,
manually select the channel, then press •CLR /
L/OUT. L/O appears.
Note: You can still manually select locked-out
channels.
To remove the lockout from a channel, manually
select the channel, then press •CLR / L/OUT.
L/O disappears.
To unlock all channels in the banks that are turned
on, press SCAN/MAN to stop scanning, then
hold down •CLR / L/OUT until the scanner beeps
twice.

the channels and still not miss important or
interesting calls on specific channels. You can
