SETTING THE VOLUME AND SQUELCH CONTROLS
Rotate VOLUME clockwise and SQUELCH counterclockwise until you hear a
hissing sound. Then, slowly rotate SQUELCH clockwise until the noise
stops. Set VOLUME to a comfortable level.
If the scanner picks up unwanted weak transmissions, rotate SQUELCH
clockwise to decrease the scanner's sensitivity to signals.
USING THE KEY LOCK
Once you program the scanner, you can protect it from accidental program
changes by moving the lock SWITCH to IN. In this position, the only
controls that operate are VOLUME, SQUELCH, MANUAL, and SCAN.
When you want to change the scanner's programming, move the LOCK switch to
OUT.
PROGRAMMING THE SCANNER
Follow these steps to store frequencies in channels.
1. Select a channel to program by pressing MANUAL, entering the channel
number you want to program, and pressing MANUAL.
2. Enter a frequency.
To enter the decimal, press ./CLEAR. The decimal point is displayed
as a dash (-) on the display.
3. Press ENTER to store the frequency.
If you made a mistake in Step 2, E appears on the display. Press
./CLEAR twice and repeat Step 2.
4. To confirm the proper entry, press REVIEW. The programmed frequency
appears on the display, one digit at a time.
5. To program more channels, repeat Steps 1 to 3. If you want to program
the next channel in sequence, simply press MANUAL and repeat
Steps 2-4.
Tips for Programming
A good reference for active frequencies is Radio Shack's Police Call
Directory including Fire and Emergency Services.
We update this directory every year, so be sure to get a current copy.
Frequencies in the VHF bands are in 5 kHz steps. In the UHF bands, they
are in 12.5 kHz steps. The scanner automatically rounds the frequency to
the nearest valid number. For example, if you try to enter a frequency of
151.373, your scanner accepts it as 151.475.
