To Access (DMA scanners):

  • Press Hold to hold on any channel then press and hold Func then press 1/Pri (each time) to select one of two priority modes or off.
    • Off - scans normally with no priority.
    • On - while scanning a system, the scanner interrupts every 2 seconds and checks the priority channels in each system.
  • Priority channels in systems with lower 'system quick keys' or 'car quick key' (starting with 1) have highest priority. Pri appears in the display when you select this mode.
  • Plus On - the scanner only scans the priority channels. Pri flashes in the display when you select this mode.
  • Press Scan to resume scanning.
  • Or, in scan mode press Menu.
  • Scroll to 'Set Priority' and press E/Yes.
  • Scroll to the mode you want to use and press E/Yes.
  • Press Scan to resume scanning.
