A LOOK AT THE KEYPAD<\/p>\n
A quick look at the keys should help you understand the scanner’s
\nfunctions.<\/p>\n
SCAN – scans through the programmed channels.<\/p>\n
MANUAL – stops scanning and lets you directly enter a channel
\nnumber.<\/p>\n
LOCKOUT\/DLY – locks out a selected channel or programs a two-second
\ndelay for the selected channel.<\/p>\n
PRIORITY – sets the priority channel and turns it on and off.<\/p>\n
CLEAR\/. – clears an incorrect entry or enters the decimal point
\nwhen programming frequencies.<\/p>\n
MON\/91-100\/0 – accesses the 10 monitor memories.<\/p>\n
WX\/E (enter) – scans through the preprogrammed weather channels or
\nenters frequencies into channels.<\/p>\n
KEYLOCK\/ – a quick press turns on the display’s backlight for 15
\n(light symbol) seconds, and when held down, it locks\/unlocks the
\nkeypad to prevent accidental entries.<\/p>\n
PROGRAM – programs frequencies into channels.<\/p>\n
LIMIT, (\\\/), – searches for active frequencies so you can find ones
\nand (\/\\) you want to store.<\/p>\n
Number Keys – each key has a single digit on it and a range of
\nnumbers printed above it. The single digits refer to
\nthe number of a channel or frequency. The range of
\nnumbers (21-30, for example) shows the channels that
\nmake up a memory bank. In addition, the keypad has
\ndifferent functions in the manual, scan, and program
\nmodes.<\/p>\n
A LOOK AT THE DISPLAY<\/p>\n
A quick look at the display should help you understand what the scanner
\ncan do.<\/p>\n
MON – appears with a number (1-10) to show which monitor memory you
\nare listening to.<\/p>\n
BANK – shows which channel-storage banks are turned on.<\/p>\n
KEYLOCK – appears when you lock the keypad.<\/p>\n
BATT. Lo – appears when the battery is low.<\/p>\n
CH – appears with a digit that shows which of the 100 channels the
\nscanner is tuned to.<\/p>\n
P – appears when you listen to the priority channel.<\/p>\n
MHz – appears with digits that show which frequency the scanner is
\nturned to.<\/p>\n
SCAN – appears when you scan channels.<\/p>\n
MAN – appears when you manually select a channel.<\/p>\n
PGM – appears while you program frequencies into the scanner’s
\nchannels.<\/p>\n
PRI – appears when the priority feature is selected.<\/p>\n
L\/O – appears when you manually select a locked channel.<\/p>\n
DLY – appears when you program a 2-second delay for a channel.<\/p>\n
WX – appears when you scan the preprogrammed weather channels.<\/p>\n
(\\\/) and – indicates the search direction.
\n(\/\\)<\/p>\n
SRCH – appears during a limit search and a direct search.<\/p>\n
-L- – appears instead of the channel number during a limit search.<\/p>\n
-d- – appears instead of the channel number during a direct search.<\/p>\n
Hi – appears with a frequency to show the upper limit of the
\nfrequency range to search.<\/p>\n
Lo – appears with a frequency to show the lower limit of the
\nfrequency range to search.<\/p>\n
UNDERSTANDING CHANNEL-STORAGE BANKS AND MONITOR MEMORIES<\/p>\n
Your scanner can store up to 110 frequencies. You store each frequency in
\neither a permanent memory location, called a channel, or a temporary
\nmemory location, called a monitor memory. This scanner has 100 channels
\nand 10 monitor memories.<\/p>\n
Channel-Storage Banks<\/p>\n
To make it easier to identify and select the channels you listen to most
\noften, channels are divided into 10 channel-storage banks of 10 channels
\neach. Use each channel-storage bank to group frequencies, such as those
\nused by the police department, fire department, ambulance or aircraft
\nservices (see “Guide to the Action Bands” in Faxback Doc. # 17653).<\/p>\n
For example, the police might use four frequencies, one for each side of
\ntown. You could program the four police frequencies starting with Channel
\n1 (the first channel in Bank 1), and then program the fire department
\nfrequencies starting with Channel 11 (the first channel in Bank 2).<\/p>\n
Monitor Memories<\/p>\n
The scanner also has 10 temporary memories called monitor memories. Use
\nthese memories to temporarily store frequencies while you decide whether
\nor not to save them into channels. This is handy for quickly storing an
\nactive frequency when you are searching through an entire band.<\/p>\n
Note: To store frequencies into a monitor memory, you must first perform
\na limit search or direct search. See “Searching For and
\nTemporarily Storing Active Frequencies” in Faxback Doc. # 47808.<\/p>\n
