Page 10: Scanning Lockout
Scanning Lockout You can lock out any System, Site, Channel Group, Channel, or search frequency. Locked out channels are skipped (or ignored) during scanning. If a system, site, or channel group is locked, all channels belonging to it will be skipped during scanning. Temporary Lockout Sites, Systems, Channels, or Frequencies temporarily locked out are automatically unlocked when power is cycled.
Page 11: Multi-Site System
Multi-Site System All trunked systems can have more than one site. All sites in the system share the same Channel Groups and Channels. Control Channel Only Trunk Tracking can be achieved by entering only the control channels for Motorola systems. Priority ID Scanning Trunked channels can be assigned priority.
Page 12: Search Key
Search Key Search keys are short cuts to start searching for a single search range. There are 3 search keys (sr1 to sr3). Service Search You can search preset frequencies typically used by specific agencies or groups.

Charge Complete If a battery is not installed, it displays “No Battery”. No Battery If the scanner detects that the battery cannot be charged, it displays “Battery Error”.
Page 192 When the scanner is turned on: If the battery is good, the scanner charges the battery and it operates ordinarily. When the scanner cannot judge the battery to be a good one at once, the scanner checks the battery and the battery icon is displayed. If the scanner judges the battery good, the scanner starts charging and the battery icon disappears.
