PRIORITY
The priority feature lets you scan
through channels and still not miss im-
portant or interesting calls on specific
channels. You can program one
stored channel in each bank as a pri-
ority channel (for up to a total of 10
stored channels). As the scanner
scans the bank, if the priority feature is
turned on, the scanner checks the pri-
ority channel for activity every 2 sec-
onds.
The scanner automatically
nates each bank's first channel as its
priority channel. Follow these steps to
select a different channel as the priori-
ty channel for a bank.
