frequency you are on at the time you press the button. You will probably have no
indication that this has happened. Therefore, it is a good idea to periodically step
through your scan channels and search banks to check for locked channels and
frequencies.
LIMIT/AUX (Priority)
This button serves two purposes. It is used in a sequence for setting up limits and
it is used to turn the Priority mode on and off (and to program the Priority
channel).

LIMIT

The LIMIT button is used when ever you are going to set an upper and lower
limit. You use this button when you are limiting scan banks, search banks, and
when you are setting up the parameters for individual search banks.
The LIMIT button is always used in a sequence like:
• Enter lower value
• Press LIMIT
• Enter upper value
• Press ENT
The LIMIT button acts as the "enter" command for the lower value, just as the
ENT key enters the number for the upper value.
You always press this button for its LIMIT function within a key sequence.

AUX (Priority)

The AR1000 has one Priority channel that will take precedence over any other
broadcast. If you want to be sure you will hear the transmissions on a certain
channel, even if you are listening to another active channel, make it the Priority
channel. You can assign any channel in the scanner to be the Priority channel.
Unfortunately the AR1000 uses the confusing term AUX to represent the Prior-
ity channel. Any time we refer to AUX, we are talking about the Priority channel
or Priority mode.
When you select Priority mode by pressing AUX, the AUX indicator appears in
the display. The Priority channel is checked every two seconds and the scanner
will switch to the Priority channel if it finds activity on it. The Priority mode will
work whether you are in Manual mode, Scan mode, or Search mode.
