scanning, press Pause, twice. To insert MScan Frequency Lockouts to eliminate
unwanted channels on future passes (See Section 4-40).

4-40 LOCKING OUT MS CAN CHANNELS:
1. Clearing or Adding Lockouts Via the Menu:
MScan Lockouts are used to eliminate unwanted channels that would normally "hang up"
and disrupt a useful channel search. In some cases, you may wish to clear some (or all)
existing lockouts before beginning your MScan. This is done in the receiver's Channel
Scroll mode:
To scroll the channel menu, press the Scroll button once, and use the Edit Knob to select
channels. Note that any channel previously locked out will display the letter 'L' in the
lower right side of the display. To eliminate the lockout, press the Lockout button twice.
The 'L' will disappear and the channel will be restored to the scan list.
The Lockout button is a toggle control, so pressing it again will reinstate any lockout. By
the same token, you may select any channel in the Scroll menu and either lock or unlock
it by toggling the Lockout button. Note that the MScan Lockout function works in the
Scroll mode only and will not work in Tune mode.
2. Adding Lockouts While Scanning: Channels may also be added (but not removed)
from the lockout list while an MScan is in progress. To lockout an unwanted channel,
simply press Pause while the scanner is held up on the station once, then press the
Lockout button twice. A brief Channel Locked message will appear while the button is
being depressed, indicating the entry has been made.
