SPECIAL FEATURES

DELAY

Many agencies use a two-way radio system that might have
a pause of several seconds between a query and a reply. To
avoid missing a reply, you can program a 2-seocnd delay
into any of your scanner's channels. Then, when the scan-
ner stops on the channel, DELAY appears and the scanner
continues to monitor the channel for 2 seconds after the trans-
mission stops before it resumes scanning.
You can program a 2-second delay in any of these ways:
h If the scanner is scanning and stops on an active chan-
nel, quickly press DLY before it starts to scan again.
h If the desired channel is not selected, manually select the
channel then press DLY.
h If the scanner is searching, press DLY during the search.
DELAY appears and the scanner automatically adds a 2-sec-
ond delay to every transmission it stops on.

LOCKING OUT A CHANNEL

You can scan existing channels faster by locking out a chan-
nel that has a continuous transmission.
To lock out a channel, select the channel then press L-OUT.
L/O appears.
To remove the lockout from a channel, manually select the
channel then press L-OUT until L/O disappears.
Notes:
h You can still manually select locked-out channels.
h Your scanner automatically locks out empty channels.

USING THE DISPLAY BACKLIGHT

You can turn on the display's backlight for easy viewing in
dimly-lit areas. Press LIGHT to turn on the display light for 5
seconds. To turn off the light before it automatically turns off,
press LIGHT again.
