PRO-2041 Scanner
(200-0463) Operation Faxback Doc. # 38898
TURNING ON THE SCANNER/SETTING VOLUME AND SQUELCH
NOTE: Make sure the scanner's antenna is connected before you turn
it on.
1. Turn SQUELCH fully counterclockwise.
2. Turn OFF/VOLUME clockwise until it clicks and you hear a hissing
sound.
3. Turn SQUELCH clockwise, then leave it set to a point just after the
hissing sound stops.
If the scanner automatically starts scanning channels, press MANUAL
to stop scanning.
NOTE: If you have not stored frequencies into any channels (see
"Storing Active Frequencies"), the scanner does not scan.
If the scanner picks up unwanted, partial, or very weak
transmissions, turn SQUELCH clockwise to decrease the scanner's
sensitivity to these signals. If you want to listen to a weak
or distant station, turn SQUELCH counterclockwise. (Also see
"Special Features," Faxback Doc. # 38899 for more information
about adjusting the scanner's sensitivity).
If SQUELCH is adjusted so you always hear a hissing sound, the
scanner does not scan properly.
STORING ACTIVE FREQUENCIES
You can store frequencies into channels using any of these methods:
Manual storage
Auto storage
Band, limit, or direct search
Good references for active frequencies are Radio Shack's "Police Call
Radio Guide Including Fire and Emergency Services," "Aeronautical
Frequency Directory," and "Maritime Frequency Directory." We update
these directories every year, so be sure to get a current copy. See
also "General Guide to Scanning," Faxback Doc. # 38900.
If you do not have a reference to frequencies in your area, f ollow the
steps in "Automatically Storing Frequencies," "Band Search," "Limit
Search,"
or "Direct Search from the Displayed Frequency" to search for
transmissions.
Manually Storing Frequencies
If you know a frequency you want to store, you can store it manually.
