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 20 channels in that bank.
While scanning, press the number key that corre-
sponds to the bank you want to turn on or off. Num-
bers appear at the top of the display, showing the
currently selected banks.
The scanner scans all the channels within the dis-
played banks that are not locked out (see "Locking
Out Channels"). 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.
You cannot turn off all banks. 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, manu-
ally select the channel, then press FUNC and L/O.
L/O appears.
