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 monitor
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.
DLY
appears.
• If the desired channel is not selected, manually
select the channel, then press
DELAY
.
DLY
appears.
• If the scanner is searching, press
DELAY
while the
scanner is searching.
DLY
appears and the scan-
ner automatically adds a 2-second delay to every
frequency it stops on in that band.
To turn off the 2-second delay, press
DELAY
while the
scanner is monitoring a channel, scanning, or searching.
DLY
disappears.
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 50 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.
