RESETTING THE SCANNER
When you first power the scanner, or if no batteries are in¬
stalled for an extended period of time, its display might lock
up and the channels might contain random frequencies. We
recommend you reset the scanner before you begin using it.
To reset the scanner, hold down both CLEAR and 0, and turn
on the power. This clears al! programmed channels from the
scanner. Use this procedure only when you are sure the
scanner is not working properly.
SETTING THE VOLUME AND SQUELCH
CONTROLS
Turn SQUELCH counterclockwise and VOLUME clockwise
until you hear a hissing sound. Then slowly turn SQUELCH
clockwise until the noise stops. Leave VOLUME set to a com¬
fortable level.
If the scanner picks up unwanted weak transmissions, turn
SQUELCH clockwise to decrease the scanner’s sensitivity to
these signals.
If you want to hear a weak or fading transmission, turn
SQUELCH counterclockwise. You hear hiss between trans¬
missions, but this prevents the scanner from cutting off weak
transmissions.
