Operation
SETTING THE VOLUME AND SQUELCH
1. Turn SQUELCH fully clockwise.
2. Turn VOLUME OFF/MAX clockwise to about half way. The scanner turns
off.
3. Turn SQUELCH counterclockwise until you hear a hissing noise.
4. Adjust VOLUME OFF/MAX to a comfortable level.
5. Slowly turn SQUELCH clockwise until the hissing noise stops.
NOTES: If squelch is set too low, the scanner can pick up unwanted or weak
transmissions. When this happens, slightly turn SQUELCH clockwise
to decrease the scanner's sensitivity to weaker signals.
If squelch is set too high, the scanner might not pick up any
transmissions. When this happens, slightly turn SQUELCH counter-
clockwise to increase the scanner's sensitivity.
SEARCHING FOR AND TEMPORARILY STORING ACTIVE FREQUENCIES
You can set your scanner to search for:
Transmissions within a limited range of specified frequencies
(limit search).
Transmissions starting from a designated frequency (direct search).
When the scanner finds an active frequency, you can quickly store it in
one of the 10 monitor memories.
NOTE: Your scanner rounds down the entered frequency to the nearest valid
frequency. For example, if you try to enter 151.473, the scanner
accepts it as 151.470.
During a limit search, the scanner searches upward starting from a selected
lower frequency limit, or downward starting from a selected upper frequency
limit.
1. Press PGM, then LIMIT. Lo appears on the display.
2. Enter the lowest frequency in the desired frequency search range, then
press ENTER.
3. Press LIMIT, Hi appears on the display.
4. Enter the highest frequency in the desired frequency search range,
then press ENTER.
5. To search up or down:
One step (5, 12.5, or 50 kHz) at a time - quickly press and release up
or down.
