Use the CH knob to select a channel, then press the S/DW button to en-
able the channel for scanning ("E" will appear in the upper left corner of
the LCD). Repeat this process for each channel you want the scanner to
check.
To remove a channel from those to be scanned, press S/DW again, so that
"E " no longer appears in the display.
After you have enabled all the channels you want to scan, turn the radio
off, then on again to return to normal operation.
Priority Scanning
Priority scanning allows you to scan and monitor channels while the re-
ceiver periodically checks for calls on a pre-selected ("priority") channel.
You may want to use this feature if you want to scan different channels,
but don't want to miss a call for you on a primary dispatch, emergency or
tactical frequency. After a call has been received on the priority channel,
operation returns to the programmed default channel scheme, as mentioned
before. Only one channel at a time can be selected as the priority channel.
 To set the currently displayed channel as the priority channel, just
press and hold the A button for 4 sec. A small "P" will now appear
at the top left corner of the display whenever this channel is se-
lected, along with an accompanying "beep".
When a priority channel has been selected, the scanner will check the pri-
ority channel regularly as you scan the other channels. If a signal appears
on the priority channel, the scanner will pause and operation will jump to
the priority channel. Otherwise, the scanner will pause on active non-pri-
ority signals as previously described.
If a call comes in on a non-priority channel that you need to respond to,
just press the PTT switch while the scanner is paused on that channel. As
long as no call comes in on the priority channel, you can send and receive
on the other channel: scanning will resume when you finish and the chan-
nel clears.
