OPERATION
TURNING ON THE SCANNER/SETTING VOLUME AND
SQUELCH
1. Turn SQUELCH until the indicator points to MIN before you turn on the scan-
ner.
2. To turn on the scanner, slide POWER to ON.
3. Turn VOLUME clockwise until you hear a hissing sound.
4. Turn SQUELCH clockwise, just until the hissing sound stops.
Notes:
• To listen to a weak or distant station, turn SQUELCH counterclockwise. If
reception is poor, turn SQUELCH clockwise to cut out weak transmissions.
• If SQUELCH is adjusted so you always hear a hissing sound, the scanner
will not scan or search properly.
5. To turn off the scanner when you finish, slide POWER to OFF.
STORING KNOWN FREQUENCIES INTO CHANNELS
Follow these steps to store frequencies into channels.
1. Press PGM, then PGM appears. Enter the channel number (1–200) where
you want to store a frequency, then press PGM again.
2. Use the number keys and • to enter the frequency (including the decimal
point) you want to store.
3. Press ENT to store the frequency into the channel.
Notes:
• If you made a mistake in Step 2, Error appears and the scanner beeps three
times when you press ENT. Simply start again from Step 2.
• Your scanner automatically rounds the entered frequency down to the clos-
est valid frequency. For example, if you enter a frequency of 151.473, your
scanner accepts it as 151.470.
• If you entered a frequency that is already stored in another channel, the
scanner beeps three times and displays the lowest channel number where
the frequency is already stored, and –dUPL– then the frequency flashes. If
you want to store the frequency anyway, press ENT again. Press TUNE/
CLEAR to clear the frequency.
• Press DELAY if you want the scanner to pause 2 seconds on this channel
before it proceeds to the next channel after a transmission ends (see “De-
lay” on Page 23). The scanner also stores this setting in the channel.
