TURNING
BANKS
ON AND
OFF
As
explained
in
"Understanding
Channel
Storage Banks
and
Search Banks"
your
scanner
splits the 400
channels
into
ten
banks
of forty
channels
each. The
small
bars
under
the numbers
at
the
top
of the
display
are
the
bank in-
dicators. You
can turn
each
bank
on and
off,
so
that
all
the
channels
in
a bank
are
either
scanned
or locked
out.
In
scan mode,
press
the number
key for
the
bank
you
want to
turn
on or
off.
lf
the
bank indicator
is
on,
you
have
turned
on the
bank
and the
scanner
scans all the
channels
within
that
bank that
you
have
not
locked
out.
lf
the indicator
is
off, the
scanner
does
not
scan
any of the
channels
within
that
bank. You
can still manually
select
any
channel in
a
bank,
even if
you
have turned
off the
bank. You
cannot turn
off all
banks
-
one must
be turned
on.
USING
THE PRIORITY
FEATURE
You
can scan through
all
your programmed
channels,
and
still
not
miss
an
important
or
interesting
call
on
a specific
channel.
Simply
program
your
desired
channel
as
the
priority
channel,
and turn
on the
priority
feature
by
press-
ing
[PRl]
during
scanning. The
scanner now
checks the
priority
channel
every two
seconds,
and
stays on the
chan-
nel if
there is
activity.
To
program
a
priority
channel,
simply
press
[pROGRAM],
and the
desired
channel number.
Then,
press

,,p"
ap-
pears
in the
display whenever
the
scanner is
set to the
priority
channel.
You
can only
program
one
channel
as the
priority
channel. lf
you
program
a
new
channel
as the
priority
channel,
the
previous
channel
you
chose is
automatically
cleared.
Note:
Channel 1
is
automatically
designated
as the
priority
channel the
first time
you
turn
on
your
scanner.
MANUALLY
SELECTING
A
CHANNEL
You
can continuously
monitor
a single
channel
without
scanning.
This is
useful
if
you
hear
an emergency
broad-
cast
on a channel
and do
not
want
to miss
any
of
the
details
-
even though
there might
be
periods
of silence
-
or
if
you
want
to
monitor
a
channel
that
you
have
locked
out.
To
select
a channel to monitor,
just
press
[MANUAL],
and
enter the
channel
number. Then,
press
[MANUAL]
again.
Or, if
your
scanner is
scanning
and has
stopped
at the
desired
channel,
just
press
[MANUAL]
once. Pressing
[MANUAL]
additional times
causes
your
scanner
to
step
through
the
channels
one at a time.
