Channel Lockout
You can lock out a channel so it is not scanned. Channel Lockout does not erase the frequency
from the channel. You can lock out up to 100 channels, including the Priority channel.
Lockout information is retained in the memory when the scanner is turned off.
To Lock out a Channel
Example: Suppose you want to lock out Channel 2 because it stops on transmissions you
don't want to hear.
Press LOCKOUT when the scanner stops on
Channel 2.
The scanner locks out Channel 2. Then it
immediately advances to the next channel that is
not locked out, and resumes scanning.
In the Manual mode, press LOCKOUT to
lock out the displayed channel. Pressing
LOCKOUT does not advance to the next channel
in Manual mode.
L/O
appears in the display to indicate the
displayed channel is locked out.
Whenever you want to search for
channels that are locked out, press
MANUAL repeatedly to go
through all 100 channels. If a
channel is locked out,
L/O
appears in the display.
