about two seconds while SAME Standby is active. The
display indicates the type of message, and the scanner
sounds the alarm associated with that type of message. The
alarm sound changes automatically every three seconds.
Press any key except DIM to end the alarm demonstration
mode.
using delay
You can confi gure your conventional, non-trunked channels
for a two second delay to avoid missing reply traffi c on the
same channel. When delay is set for a conventional channel,
the scanner will pause for reply traffi c before resuming the
scan operation. To toggle the delay setting for a channel,
press ./DELAY.
• Delay is automatically set as the default for each channel
when you turn on the scanner.
• Delay operates differently when monitoring trunked
radio systems. For more information, see “Trunked Delay
Function”.
locking out channels/frequencies
You can lock out channels to force the scanner to skip
and ignore any traffi c while scanning. While searching,
you can lock out up to 50 frequencies to skip undesired
transmissions.
locking out channels
To lock out a channel while scanning, press L/OUT when the
scanner stops on the channel.
To lock out a channel manually, select the channel then press
L/OUT so L appears in the scanner’s display.
