Programming Tips • Since weather transmissions are continuous, do not program a weather frequency into any of the scanner's channels. To listen to a weather transmission, press WX to select the weather information band instead. • Group similar frequencies into adjacent channels. For example, program police frequencies in channels 1 through 50 and fire/emergency into channels 51 through 100, and so on. • Put the frequency you listen to the most or the most important frequency into a priority channel. • To quickly program a series of channels, start with the lowest number channel. For example, when you are programming five new frequencies into Channels 4 through 8, start with Channel 4. After you finish programming a channel, press MANUAL or HOLD U to go to the next higher channel. • Record channels and frequencies in some convenient place in case the scanner's memory is lost. Setting the Delay Mode A delay can be set for each programmed channel so that when scan or search stops on a channel there is a brief pause before the scanning cycle resumes. Delay must be set for each programmed channel, and it can be set when your scanner pauses during a scan or when manual mode is selected. Setting Delay in Scan or Search Mode 1. Press SCAN or set a search range then press SRC. 2. When your scanner stops on a channel, press DELAY. DELAY appears. Scanning resumes two seconds after the transmission ends. Setting Delay in Manual Mode 1. Press MANUAL. 2. Use the keypad or rotary tuner to select a channel. 3. Press DELAY. DELAY appears. The scanner pauses on the channel when a transmis- sion is received. 37
