on, the scanner checks that channel every 2 seconds, and
stays on the channel if there is activity until the activity stops.
The priority feature does not operate while the scanner
receives a trunking voice channel or during trunking
delay time. Therefore, the priority check seems random
during peak hours.
If you program a weather channel as the priority channel,
the scanner stays in the priority channel only when the
scanner detects the weather alert tone.
This scanner cannot set a channel as the priority channel
if the channel’s receive mode is MOT, ED, or LTR.
If you press PSE while the scanner receives the priority
channel, the scanner displays *** PAUSED *** and
stays on the priority channel even after the transmission
fi nished.

contains the frequency you want to program as the
priority channel. Then press MAN again.
3. Press FUNC then PRI. The display blinks.
