[L/O] KEY Press [L/O] to "lock out" or prevent scanning of the displayed frequency. [L/O] is active only during opened squelch or in the Hold Mode. Locked out channel can be displayed on the screen by using the [UP] or [DOWN] key to manually scan through the selected bank in Hold Mode only. "L/O" appears on the display to indicate that the channel is locked out. Note: Locking out a channel will not erase the programmed frequency. [BAND] KEY This key is active in Search Mode only (when "SRCH" is displayed on the screen). When you press [BAND], the upper and lower limits of the band you are searching are displayed for 3 seconds. Then the display returns to the current frequency.

It is active whenever a steady frequency appears on the display. Press [PROG] to start Programming Mode. "CH" appears and blinks, indicating you are in Programming Mode, and urges you to select the channel of the bank to be programmed. Press a programmable bank key ([PRIVATE], [FIRE/EMG] or [POLICE]) to be programmed. Note: Never press non-programmable bank keys ([WX], [AIR] or [MRN]). If you press one of these keys, "Error" will be displayed, and you may lose the frequency you wanted to program. VOLUME Control/ Power Switch This control turns the scanner on or off, and also adjusts the volume. SQ (Squelch) Control Adjust [SQ] to set the scan threshold. When you are monitoring a single channel in Manual Mode, adjust [SQ] to eliminate the background rushing noise heard in the absence of an incoming signal. LCD Display The liquid crystal display (LCD) shows the current channel or its frequency. It also displays the mode indicators, status indicators, and bank indicators.
