Turning on the Scanner

The squelch and attenuator control scanner sensitivity.

If squelch is set too low, the scanner may stop on

noise or silence.

Note: Make sure the scanner’s antenna is connected

before you turn it on.

1. Turn the SQUELCH knob to about mid-position.

2. Turn the VOLUME knob to turn on the radio.

3. Turn SQUELCH down (counterclockwise) until you

hear noise.

4. Turn SQUELCH up (clockwise) a little past where

the noise stops. The higher the squelch is set, the

stronger the signal required to break the squelch.

Setting the Battery Type

Setting the battery type is necessary for low battery

detection and to enable battery charging. By default,

your new scanner is configured to use alkaline

batteries.

If you are using rechargeable batteries:

1. Press the PGM key.

2. Press the GLOB softkey.

3. Use the 4-direction keypad to select the Battery

setting and set your battery type.

4. Press the SAVE softkey.
