Realistic PRO-2005 - Using the Restart Switch; Setting the Volume and Squelch; Using the Sound Squelch Switch; Scanning the Channels

USING THE RESTART SWITCH
The scanner's display might lock up the first time you plug
in and turn on your scanner, or if the battery is left out for
an extended period of time. If the display locks, use a
pO inted object, like a paper clip, to press and release the
restart switch while power
is on.
To clear all the memories, be sure the scanner is turned on
and:
1. Press and hold [CLEAR] .
2.
Us!ng a pointed object, press and release the restart
SWitch.
3. After confirming that the display goes blank release
[CLEAR]. '
SETTING THE VOLUME AND SQUELCH
Turn VOLUME clockwise and SQUELCH counterclockwise
until you hear a hissing sound.
Then, slowly turn
SQUELCH clockwise until the noise stops. Leave VOLUME
set to a comfortable listening level.
If the scanner picks
up unwanted weak transmissions, turn
SQUELCH clockwise to decrease the scanner's sensitivity
to these signals.
USING THE SOUND SQUELCH SWITCH
If the scanner stops at a transmission during scan, search,
or priority modes, the [SOUND SQUELCH] switch lets the
scanner start scanning again
if the transmission contains
no sound (carrier only without modulated signals).
If your scanner stops at a frequency that
has no sound,
press [SOUND SQUELCH].
The indicator lights. If the
scanner detects no sound within 0.5 seconds, it goes to
the next transmission.
When the scanner receives a frequency that contains
sound,
it halts at the frequency. If the sound ceases, the
scanner stays
on the frequency for 5 seconds, and
resumes scanning.
If the carrier stops, the scanner begins
to scan immediately
if the delay function is off, or after 2
seconds
if the delay function is on.
To cancel sound squelch, press [SOUND SQUELCH]
again. The indicator goes off. .
Note: If a frequency contains a transmission with low
modulation, the sound squelch circuit might not work
properly.
SCANNING THE CHANNELS
To begin scanning channels, just press [SCAN]. Your
scanner scans through
all the channels that you have not
locked out of the banks that are turned
on. You must set
SQUELCH so that you do not hear the hissing sound be-
tween transmissions. Be sure to read the following sections
to get the full benefit from the special features of your
scanner.
