Skipping Data Signals

The data skip feature prevents the scanner
from stopping on channels that consist of non-
modulated or data signals (such as fax or modem
transmissions) during a search or scan. When
the radio receives a data signal and data skip is
selected, the signal is ignored.
To turn on the data skip feature:
1. If the priority feature is on, turn if off by
pressing PRI during scanning.
2. Press FUNC + MAN/MENU.
3. Select Data Skip and press ENT/PGM.
4. Select Search, Scan, or Signal Stalker then press
ENT/PGM.
5. Select On or Off and press ENT/PGM.
6. Press MAN/MENU to exit the Menu Mode, or
press CL to go back to a previous menu.
7. DS appears when the data skip feature is on.
Note: This feature does not apply to the
AM band or Weather Search Mode as
data signals are not generally found in
these services.

Using Keylock

The keylock feature protects the scanner from
accidental program changes. When the scanner
is locked, the only control that operates is
/ KEYLOCK.
