Programming Notes:
• If you entered an invalid frequency in Step 5, “Invalid Freq.” appears
and the scanner beeps error tones. Enter a valid frequency.
• If you entered a frequency in Step 5, which already exists on another
channel, the scanner beeps an error tone and displays that channel.
Press CL to clear the display, or press ENT/PGM to store the
frequency in both channels.
• To erase a frequency from a channel, from Manual Mode press
ENT/PGM to enter Programming Mode and then press CL. “Erase
Frequency” will appear; press ENT/PGM to erase.
• The scanner automatically rounds the entered number to the nearest
valid frequency. For example, if you enter 151.473 (MHz), your
scanner accepts it as 151.475.
• After a transmission, the scanner automatically pauses for 2 seconds
on this channel before proceeding to the next active transmission.
Press •/DELAY to turn the delay function on or off. The scanner
stores this setting in the channel.
• To store trunked system frequencies, see “Programming Trunked
Frequencies” on p. 41.
If you do not have a list of frequencies in your area, refer to
www.radioreference.com or use a chain, fine tune, or service
search to find transmissions (see “Searching” on p. 22).
