Locking/Unlocking the
Keypad
Hold on any channel. Press Func then
to lock or unlock the keypad. The only keys/knobs that work are Func, Hold, and the scroll control for volume.
Viewing the Battery Level to view the battery level (in volts) press the scroll control and look at the small numbers in the upper right of the display. Press the scroll
control again to close the volume level (or let it disappear after 10 seconds).
Scanner Reset to initialize the scanner's memory, turn off the scanner. Then press 2, 9, and Hold while turning it on (It helps if you can lay it flat).
Important! This deletes all preprogrammed data. You cannot restore preprogrammed data that has been deleted.

How to view these pages in your browsers I have formatted these pages so that you can view them with any monitor, in any browser (Opera, I.E.,
Foxfire, or Netscape), at any zoom level, and in any screen area size (ex: 1024x768 preferred)-small or large fonts. So if the print is too small, go to the 'view' menu in
your browser and adjust it to a bigger level (or smaller if you want to see more on the screen).

Determining Motorola VHF/UHF Base and Offset Frequencies I have found an explanation at Radio Reference.com that describes how to do this
if you don't have the information. The
Trunked Radio Systems User’s Page also has an explanation. Look for 'Determining Base and Offset Frequencies for the BC245xlt'

Finding EDACS LCN order EDACS frequencies have to be programmed in a certain order for the system to trunktrack properly. I have found a procedure at the
Trunked Radio Systems User’s Page which explains how to find the LCN order for frequencies in EDACS systems. Look for 'Finding EDACS Logical Channel Numbers' by
Todd Hartzel
near the bottom of the page.
Finding LTR LCN order LTR frequencies have to be programmed into certain channel slots for the system to trunktrack properly. I have found a web page that
explains how to program LTR LCN order for the BC780XLT (trunks LTR systems the same way) here:
