SPECIAL FEATURES

USING PRIORITY
CHANNELS
The priority feature lets you scan
through channels and still not miss
important or interesting calls on spe-
cific channels. You can program one
stored channel in each bank as a pri-
ority channel (up to 10 stored chan-
nels in total). As the scanner scans
the bank, if the priority feature is
turned on, the scanner checks the
priority channels every 2 seconds for
activity.
The scanner automatically desig-
nates each bank's first channel as its
priority channel. Follow these steps
to select a different channel as the
priority channel for a bank.
