TURNING ON THE SCANNER AND SETTING SQUELCH<\/p>\n
1. Turn SQUELCH fully counterclockwise.<\/p>\n
2. Turn VOLUME clockwise until you hear a hissing sound.<\/p>\n
3. Turn SQUELCH clockwise, then leave it set to a point just after the
\nhissing sound stops.<\/p>\n
The scanner automatically starts scanning channels. Press MANUAL to stop
\nscanning.<\/p>\n
Notes: If the scanner picks up unwanted, partial, or very weak
\ntransmissions, turn SQUELCH clockwise to decrease the scanner’s
\nsensitivity to these signals. If you want to listen to a weak or
\ndistant station, turn SQUELCH counterclockwise.<\/p>\n
If SQUELCH is adjusted so you always hear a hissing sound, the
\nscanner will not scan properly.<\/p>\n
STORING FREQUENCIES<\/p>\n
Follow these steps to store frequencies into channels.<\/p>\n
1. Press MANUAL. Enter the channel number where you want to store a
\nfrequency.<\/p>\n
2. Press PROGRAM. PGM appears on the display.<\/p>\n
3. Use the number keys to enter the frequency you want to store.<\/p>\n
4. Press WX\/E to store the frequency.<\/p>\n
Notes: If you made a mistake in Step 3, Error appears on the display
\nand the scanner sounds three beeps. To enter a different
\nfrequency, start again from Step 3.<\/p>\n
Your scanner automatically rounds the entered frequency up to
\nthe nearest valid frequency. For example, if you try to enter
\n151.473, your scanner accepts it as 151.475.<\/p>\n
5. Repeat Steps 1-4 to program more channels. Or, to program the next
\nchannel in sequence, repeat Steps 2-4.<\/p>\n
To listen to a stored frequency, press MANUAL, the channel number, and
\nMANUAL again.<\/p>\n
SEARCHING FOR AND TEMPORARILY STORING ACTIVE FREQUENCIES<\/p>\n
Good references for active frequencies are RadioShack’s “Police Call Radio
\nGuide Including Fire and Emergency Services,” “Aeronautical Frequency
\nDirectory,” and “Maritime Frequency Directory.” We update these
\ndirectories every year, so be sure to get a current copy.<\/p>\n
If you do not have a reference to frequencies in your area, or if you want
\nto search for unlisted frequencies, use a limit search or direct search.
\nSee also “Guide to the Action Bands” in Faxback Doc. # 17653.<\/p>\n
Note: Press LOCKOUT\/DLY if you want to make the scanner pause 2 seconds
\nafter a transmission ends before it proceeds to the next frequency.<\/p>\n
Limit Search<\/p>\n
A limit search lets you search for active frequencies between lower and
\nupper limits that you set. -L- appears on the display during a limit
\nsearch.<\/p>\n
1. Press PROGRAM, then LIMIT. Lo appears on the display.<\/p>\n
2. Enter the lower limit of the frequency range you want to search.<\/p>\n
3. Press WX\/E, then LIMIT. Hi appears on the display.<\/p>\n
Note: If the frequency you entered is not valid, Error appears. To
\nenter a different frequency, start again from Step 2.<\/p>\n
4. Enter the upper limit of the frequency range.<\/p>\n
5. Press WX\/E.<\/p>\n
6. Press (\\\/) to search from the upper to the lower limit or press (\/\\)
\nto search from the lower to the upper limit. The scanner starts
\nsearching, and the number of the next monitor memory flashes at the
\ntop of the display.<\/p>\n
7. When the scanner stops on a transmission you want to save, press MON\/
\n91-100\/0 to store the frequency in the flashing monitor memory. The
\nmonitor memory number stops flashing.<\/p>\n
8. Press either (\\\/) or (\/\\) to continue the search.<\/p>\n
Note: After you store a frequency in the displayed monitor memory,
\nthe scanner’s display automatically shifts to the next monitor
\nmemory. For example, after you store a frequency in monitor
\nmemory 1, monitor memory 2 flashes at the top of the display
\nafter you resume searching.<\/p>\n
Direct Search<\/p>\n
When you listen to a channel, you can search up or down from the currently
\ndisplayed frequency. -d- appears on the display during a direct search.<\/p>\n
1. Press MANUAL, the channel number, then MANUAL to select a frequency
\nstored in a channel.<\/p>\n
2. Press (\\\/) or (\/\\) to search down or up from the selected frequency.<\/p>\n
3. When the scanner stops on a transmission, press MON\/91-100\/0 to store
\nthat frequency in the flashing monitor memory. Or, press (\\\/) or (\/\\)
\nto continue the search.<\/p>\n
LISTENING TO MONITOR MEMORIES<\/p>\n
After you store a frequency into a monitor memory using a direct or limit
\nsearch, you can listen to the monitor memory by pressing MANUAL, MON\/
\n91-100\/0, and then the number of the monitor memory.<\/p>\n
MOVING A FREQUENCY FROM A MONITOR MEMORY TO A CHANNEL<\/p>\n
A monitor memory is a temporary storage area. Follow these steps to move
\na frequency stored in a monitor memory to a permanent channel.<\/p>\n
1. Press MANUAL.<\/p>\n
2. Enter the channel number where you want to store the monitor
\nfrequency.<\/p>\n
3. Press PROGRAM.<\/p>\n
4. Press MON\/91-100\/0 then the monitor memory number that has the
\nfrequency you want to store. The channel number flashes.<\/p>\n
5. Press WX\/E. The scanner stores the frequency in the selected channel,
\nand the channel number stops flashing.<\/p>\n
MANUALLY SELECTING A CHANNEL<\/p>\n
You can continuously monitor a specific channel without scanning. This is
\nuseful if you hear an emergency broadcast on a channel and do not want to
\nmiss any details – even though there might be periods of silence – or if
\nyou just want to monitor a specific channel.<\/p>\n
Follow these steps to manually select a channel<\/p>\n
1. Press MANUAL.<\/p>\n
2. Enter the channel number.<\/p>\n
3. Press MANUAL again.<\/p>\n
Or, if your scanner is scanning and stops at the desired channel, press
\nMANUAL once.<\/p>\n
Note: Pressing MANUAL additional times causes your scanner to step
\nthrough the channels.<\/p>\n
To start automatic scanning after monitoring a specific channel, press
\nSCAN.<\/p>\n
TURNING CHANNEL-STORAGE BANKS ON AND OFF<\/p>\n
You can turn each channel-storage bank on and off. When you turn off a
\nbank, the scanner does not scan any of the 10-channels in that bank.<\/p>\n
While scanning, press the number key of the bank you want to turn on or
\noff. If the memory bank indicator is on, the bank is turned on and the
\nscanner scans all channels within that bank that are not locked out. If
\nthe indicator is off, the scanner does not scan any of the channels within
\nthat bank.<\/p>\n
Notes: You can manually select any channel in a bank, even if the bank is
\nturned off.<\/p>\n
You cannot turn off all banks. There must be at least one active
\nbank.<\/p>\n
