Setting Priority Channels
You can set one conventional channel in each bank as a priority channel. When you turn on
the Priority Scan option (see
“
Priority Scanning
”
), the scanner automatically checks these
channels every 2 seconds to see if there is activity. If there is, the scanner immediately
switches to the priority channel.
Notes:
•
The scanner does not check priority channels in locked-out banks.
•
The scanner does not check priority channels if the channel is locked out.
By default, the first channel of each bank is set as priority. To change the priority channel:
1.
Manually select the channel you want to set as priority.
2.
Press and hold
PRI
for 2 seconds. The scanner beeps and the new priority assignment
is made.
