Skipping Frequencies; Storing Found Frequencies - Uniden BC296D Owner's Manual

3:SYSTEM OPTION → 7:DATA SKIP
1:ON
The scanner skips data frequencies.
2:OFF
Data skip is turned off.
Note: Even with this option turned on, the scanner might
pause for a couple of seconds on data transmissions
before resuming.

Skipping Frequencies

If a particular frequency continues to interrupt search
scanning, it is possible to set your scanner to skip the
frequency.
To skip over a frequency, press L/O when the scanner is
stopped on a frequency you want to skip.
Notes: • You can program up to 200 skip frequencies. The
201st skip frequency entered causes the first
skipped frequency to unlock.
• If all frequencies in the search range are set to
skip, a beep sounds and it moves to Search Hold
mode. To resume searching:
1) Unskip all skipped frequencies
2) Select a different Search Frequency range.
To unskip all skipped frequencies, press and hold
L/O for 2 seconds in Search Hold mode.

Storing Found Frequencies

If you find a frequency you want to save into a channel,
simply press TRNSFR when the scanner is stopped on that
frequency. The scanner displays the lowest-numbered empty
channel. Use the scroll bar to select the channel you want to
save the frequency into, then press E.
Notes: • If you have already stored this frequency, the scan-
ner displays WARNING DUPLICATE and the chan-
nel where the frequency is stored. To store the fre-
quency anyway, press E again.
• After you store the frequency, the scanner resumes
searching.
• If all channels are used, the scanner defaults to the
last-used channel prior to entering the search mode.
