You can lock out that frequency from scanning. 1. When the scanner stops on the undesired frequency, press Lone time. 2. To lock out additional frequencies, repeat Step 1. Note:You can delete a maximum of 50 frequencies. Although it is possible to delete the highway patrol alarm frequencies, this should never be done unless absolutely necessary for proper operation of your BCT-10. This causes the highway patrol alarm feature to be inactive on that frequency. No further alarms will be received until the deleted frequencies are restored or a new state is selected. Caution:When you lock out more than 50 frequencies, the first locked out frequency is deleted. You cannot lock out all of the alarm, local police, and highway patrol frequencies. If you lock out all of the frequencies by accident, the BCT-10 will sound two short beeps. HOLDL/0STATE MUTEMODE ALARM SYSTEM Operating Instructions 28
