USING THE KEYLOCK

Once you program your scanner, you can protect it from accidental program
changes by turning on the keylock feature.  In this mode, the only controls
that operate are SCAN, MANUAL KEYLOCK/(BACKLIGHT SYMBOL), VOLUME and
SQUELCH.

NOTE:  The keylock does not prevent the scanner from scanning channels.

To turn on the keylock, press and hold KEYLOCK/(BACKLIGHT SYMBOL) until the
scanner beeps and KEYLOCK appears on the display. To turn it off, press and
hold KEYLOCK/(BACKLIGHT SYMBOL) until the scanner beeps and KEYLOCK
disappears from the display.

LOCKING OUT CHANNELS

You can increase the effective scanning speed by locking out individual
channels that have a continuous transmission, such as a weather channel.
To lock out a channel, manually select the channel and press LOCKOUT/S/S
so L/O appears on the display.

To remove the lock-out from a channel, manually select the channel and
press LOCKOUT/S/S so L/O disappears from the display.

NOTE:  You can manually select locked-out channels.

To remove the lock-out from all channels in a memory bank, follow this
procedure.

1.  While scanning, press the number key corresponding to the memory bank
    you want to unlock.

2.  Press MANUAL to enter the manual mode.

3.  Press and hold LOCKOUT for more than 3 seconds.  The scanner beeps
    twice, and all locked out memory channels in the selected bank are
    unlocked.

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 10 channels in that bank.

While scanning, press the number key corresponding to the bank you want to
turn on or off.  If the memory bank indicator is on, the bank is turned on
and the scanner scans all channels within that bank that are not locked
out. If the indicator is off, the scanner does not scan any of the channels
within that bank.

NOTES:  You can manually select any channel in a bank, even if the bank is
        turned off.

        You cannot turn off all banks.  One bank is always active.

SEARCH SKIP MEMORY

You can skip specified frequencies during a limit or direct SEARCH.  This
lets you avoid unwanted frequencies or ones you have already stored in a
channel.  You can program up to 30 skip frequencies into the scanner's
memory.

To skip a frequency, press LOCKOUT/S/S when the scanner stops on the
frequency during a limit or direct SEARCH.

To clear a single frequency from skip memory so the scanner can stop on it
during a limit or direct search, press LIMIT to hold the search, press \/
or /\ to select the frequency, then press LOCKOUT/S/S until L/O disappears
from the display.

To clear all the skip frequencies at once, while in the search mode, press
and hold LOCKOUT/S/S until the scanner beeps twice.

NOTES:  If you program more than 30 skip frequencies, each new frequency
        replaces ones you stored earlier, starting from the first stored
        frequency.

        You can select the skipped frequency when the scanner is in the hold
        mode.  The scanner displays L/O when you select a skipped frequency.

PRIORITY

You can scan through channels and still not miss an important or
interesting call on a specific channel.  When a channel is selected as the
priority channel and the priority feature is turned on, the scanner checks
that channel every 2 seconds and stays on the channel if there is activity.
PRI appears on the display whenever the scanner is set to the PRIORITY
mode.

To program a channel as the priority channel, press PROGRAM, the desired
channel number, then PRIORITY.  P appears beside the channel number.

To turn on the priority feature, press PRIORITY while the scanner is in
either manual or scan mode.  To turn off the PRIORITY feature, press
PRIORITY until PRI disappears from the display.

NOTES:  You can only select one channel at a time as the priority channel.

        Channel 1 is initially set as the PRIORITY channel.

        You cannot select a monitor memory when priority is turned on.

USING THE DISPLAY BACKLIGHT

You can turn on the display's backlight for easy viewing in the dark. Press
KEYLOCK/(BACKLIGHT SYMBOL) to turn on the display light for 15 seconds.  To
turn off the light before 15 seconds elapses, press KEYLOCK/(BACKLIGHT
SYMBOL) again.

NOTE:  Do not hold down KEYLOCK/(BACKLIGHT SYMBOL) or it will lock up the
       keypad.  If this happens, press and hold KEYLOCK/(BACKLIGHT SYMBOL)
       until the scanner beeps and KEYLOCK disappears from the display.

LISTENING TO THE WEATHER BAND

The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) has allocated 11 channels for
use by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).  We have preprogrammed your scanner with the seven frequencies most commonly used by NOAA.

To hear your local forecast and regional WEATHER information, simply press
WX/E.  Your scanner begins scanning through the weather band, and WX
appears on the display.

Your scanner should stop within a few seconds, and then you hear the local
WEATHER broadcast.  If the broadcast is weak, you can press WX/E again to
scan through the rest of the weather band.
