53. Key Safe Mode
Key Safe mode locks out the programming menu and more advanced functions so the
user can't accidently "break" the scanner. This mode is ideal for any situation where
you want another person to be able to use the scanner without changing any of the
settings.
To turn Key Safe mode on (or off)
Turn the scanner off.
Press and hold FUNCTION while you turn the scanner back on.
The scanner display shows Key Safe Mode On (or Key Safe Mode Off ), then
returns to the operation it was performing when you turned it off.
While Key Safe mode is on, MENU is disabled along with the key
combinations described in the table below.
When you try to use a disabled key combination, the scanner display shows
Key Safe Mode. Press FUNC while Power On for Full Operation .
