USING MEMOLOCK
To keep from accidentally changing the scanner's programming, you can lock
the scanner's memory by setting the MEMOLOCK OFF/ON switch on the back of
the scanner to ON. If you try to change the scanner's programming, the
scanner displays Prg-Loc, and the programming does not change.
Set MEMOLOCK OFF/ON to OFF to add or change information in the scanner's
memory.
DELAY
Many agencies use a two-way radio system that might have a pause of several
seconds between a query and a reply.
When your scanner displays an active frequency or channel, it automatically
waits for 2 seconds after the completion of each transmission on that
frequency or channel before it resumes scanning.
LOCK OUT
You can scan banks faster by locking out many frequencies or channels that
have a continuous transmission or static.
To lock out a frequency or channel while scanning, press L/OUT when the
scanner displays the frequency or channel number until L/O appears.
To remove the lockout, manually select the frequency or channel, then press
L/OUT when the scanner displays the frequency or channel number. L/O
disappears from the display.
NOTES: The scanner automatically locks out empty channels.
You can lock out all frequencies and channels in a bank. However,
if all frequencies and channels within the bank are locked out, the
scanner beeps three times when you press that bank key and will not
scan the bank.
You can still manually select locked-out channels.
You cannot lock out any frequencies within the WX or AIR service
scan banks.
Removing a Lockout from All Channels and Frequencies within a Bank
You can remove a lockout from all non-empty channels and frequencies in a
bank.
1. Press the bank key for the scan bank containing the channels or
frequencies you want to remove a lockout from.
2. Press HOLD.
3. Press and hold down L/OUT until the scanner beeps softly three times.
The scanner removes the lockout from all channels and frequencies
within the selected bank.
NOTE: When you store a frequency in an empty channel, the scanner
automatically removes the lockout.
LISTENING TO THE WEATHER BAND

NOAA broadcasts your local forecast and regional weather information on one
or more of these frequencies in your area. All U.S. weather frequencies
available to NOAA are in the 148-174 MHz frequency band.

162.450 MHz
162.475 MHz
162.500 MHz

To scan the WX service scan bank, simply press WX.
To manually tune to stations in the WX service scan bank:
1. Press WX.
2. Press HOLD.
3. Press ^ or v to tune up or down the WX service scan bank.
