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-second delay into any channel or frequency.  Then,
when your scanner stops on a channel or frequency you programmed with a
delay, DELAY appears on the display and the scanner continues to monitor
that frequency for 2 seconds after the transmission stops before it
resumes scanning.

You can program a 2-second delay using any of the following methods:

  If the scanner is scanning and stops on an active channel, quickly press
  DELAY before it continues scanning again.

  If the desired channel is not selected, manually select the channel,
  then press DELAY.

  If the scanner is searching, press DELAY during the search.  DELAY
  appears on the display and the scanner automatically adds a 2-second
  delay to every transmission where it stops.

To turn off the delay on any channel or frequency, press DELAY while the
scanner is monitoring the channel or frequency.  DELAY disappears.

LOCKING OUT CHANNELS

You can scan channels faster by locking out ones that have a continuous
transmission, such as a weather channel.

Note:  Your scanner automatically locks out empty channels.

Follow these steps to lock out a channel.

1.  Press MANUAL.

2.  Use the number keys to enter the channel number you want to lock out,
    then press MANUAL.

3.  Press L-OUT.  LOCK-OUT appears on the display.

To remove the lockout from a channel, repeat Steps 1-3.  LOCK-OUT
disappears from the display.

Note:  You can manually select a locked-out channel.  The scanner displays
       LOCK-OUT when you select a locked-out channel.

LISTENING TO THE WEATHER BAND

The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) has allocated 11 channels for
use by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrating (NOAA).  NOAA
broadcasts your local forecast and regional weather information.  We have
preprogrammed your scanner with 10 of the U.S. frequencies available to
NOAA.  The frequency not programmed in this scanner is 162.440 MHz.

Note:  For a list of all 11 national weather frequencies, see "National
       Weather Frequencies" in Faxback Doc. # 17653.

To scan the preprogrammed weather channels, press WX.  WX appears on the
display, and the scanner searches through the weather band and stops on an
active broadcast.  If the broadcast is weak, press (/\) or (\/) to
continue to search through the weather band.

Note:  To manually step through the preprogrammed weather channels,
       repeatedly press WX until MANUAL appears on the display.  Then
       repeatedly press (/\) or (\/) to move forward or backward through
       the channels.
