Notes:

If you have not stored frequencies into any
channels, the scanner does not scan.

decrease the scanner's sensitivity to these
signals. To listen to a weak or distant station,
turn

To ensure proper scanning, adjust

Manually Selecting a Channel
You can continuously monitor a single channel
without scanning. This is useful if you hear an
emergency broadcast on a channel and do not want
to miss any details - even though there might be
periods of silence - or if you want to monitor a
specific channel.
To manually select a channel, press
Hold
, enter the
channel number then press
Hold
again.
Or, during scanning, if the radio stops at a channel
you want to listen to, press
Hold
once. (Repeatedly
pressing
Hold
at this time causes the scanner to
step through the channels.) Press
Scan
to resume
automatic scanning.
