Realistic Pro-30 - Troubleshooting and Help

BEFORE
YOU
CALL FOR
HELP
The
PRO-30
is a ruggedly built electronic unit, with
all
parts
con-
seruatively
rated. However,
you
should treat it with care; don't subject
it
to excessively
rough
handling. You
will find it will
give you
long
life if kept free from dirt
and excessive
humidity.
Three
silver
oxide
batteries
(used
to
maintain
the
program
memory)
should
be
replaced
once
a
year.
The
frequencies
stored
in the
scanner
memory
can be
held
for a
few
minutes
without
back-up
batteries.
Check
the memory
contents
after
replacing
batteries,
and
if the
memory
has
been
lost,
press
the
reset
button
and
re-enter
frequencies.
