Power On Settings Priority Channels When you turn the BCT7 off and then on again, the BCT7 will return to the last settings that were active. When you have chosen the state you will be driving in, and the mode (HIGHWAY PATROL, DOT, etc.), the BCT7 always returns to these settings. Each state preprogrammed in the BCT7 contains a number of Priority channels. The BCT7 automatically checks a state's Priority channels every two seconds for activity. If there is activity on one of the Priority channels, the warning light will flash and the alarm tone will sound (see "Warning Alert," page 11). You will experience a slight in the conversations you hear as the BCT7 checks the Priority channels. You can cancel the priority check and the interruptions in the conversations by pressing the H key to hold on the frequency. Note: The Warning Alert is inoperative while the scanner is on Hold. Remember to press the key again to return to normal priority-scan operation. Priority cannot be changed, but you can lock-out priority channels using the L key. Priority channels have been pre-determined by the manufacturer as those Highway Patrol frequencies most commonly used for mobile extenders and for car-to-car and aircraft-to-car operations. Mobile extenders re-transmit every radio broadcast received on the patrol car radio to the officer's walkie-talkie at low-power. Every time any officer or dispatcher talks (transmits), the signal is broadcast like a beacon at low-power whether or not the officer is out of the car. 13
