priority scan
When priority scan is turned on, your scanner checks the
priority channel in the banks you selected every two seconds
for activity. If a signal is present on the priority channel, your
scanner monitors the channel until the transmission ends,
then resumes normal scanning. You can designate one
channel in each bank as a priority channel. By default, the
fi rst channel in each bank is the priority channel, but you can
change this.
To activate Priority Scan (in either the private scan mode or
scan hold mode):
1. Press PRI. PRI appears.
If you have locked out all the priority channels, an error
message appears when you select priority mode.
2. Press PRI again to deactivate priority scan. PRI
