Scanning & Monitoring - Whistler WS1010 Owner's Manual

SCANNING & MONITORING
Scanning and Monitoring
Press SCAN/MAN until SCAN appears to continuously
scan through all channels with stored frequencies. If
the scanner finds an active frequency, it pauses until
the transmission ends. Press  or  to change the
scanning direction. To monitor a channel, press SCAN/
MAN so that MAN appears.
The scanner does not scan channels in banks that are
turned off. To turn a channel-storage bank on or off,
press the bank's number key (1–0, using 0 for bank
10) during scanning. The channel-storage banks that
are ON have a bar underneath them.
• You cannot turn off all banks; there must be at
least one active bank.
• You can manually select any channel in a bank,
even if the bank is turned off.
Setting Delay
To avoid missing a reply in conversations, a two-second
delay is automatically set for each channel. The scanner
stops for two seconds after a transmission ends before
it resumes scanning or searching. DLY appears on the
display when the delay function is active.
To turn delay on:
• If the scanner is scanning and stops on an active
channel, quickly press •/DELAY before it resumes.
• If the desired channel is not selected, manually
select the channel, then press •/DELAY.
• If the scanner is searching, press •/DELAY. DLY
appears and the scanner adds a two-second delay
to every transmission it stops on in that bank.
To turn delay off:
Press •/DELAY while the scanner is monitoring a
channel or frequency. DLY disappears.
