You must use an amplified speaker with this scanner. Nonamplified speakers do not provide sufficient volume for comfortable listening
Storing Conventional
Frequencies
• When the scanner is in Manual or Program mode, indicated with
M or
P in the top left hand corner of the display, you can select your desired bank and channel number using direct channel entry, the
S or
T arrow keys, and with FUNC and the
S or
T arrow keys.
• For direct channel entry, press MAN or
PGM, enter the channel storage bank
(0-9) and channel number (00-49) where you want to store a frequency, then press MAN or
PGM again. For example, Bank 3,
Channel 23 is entered as “323”. The scanner advances to the selected channel storage bank and channel, and the channel storage bank and channel number appear at the upper left corner of the display (for example:
M323 or
P323
).
• Press FUNC, then
S or
T to jump to the next or previous channel storage bank.
• Press FUNC, then hold
S or
T to scroll through the channel storage banks.

to enter the frequency
(including the decimal point) you want to store.
3. If you make a mistake, press
CLR
to backspace and correct the incorrect digit, or press and hold
CLR
for about 2 seconds to clear the entire field and start over.
4. Press
ENTER
to store the frequency into the channel.
Ô
5. By default, the scanner will configure the channels you enter for a two second delay after a transmission is received. This is indicated by the D character that appears in the top row of the display. If you do not want the scanner to pause for reply traffic before resuming scanning operation, press
./DELAY
until
D is not visible in the top line of the display.
6. If necessary, press

to change the receiving mode.
Valid modes for conventional frequencies include AM, FM/
Digital, CTCSS and DCS. To program a specific code for
CTCSS or DCS mode, press
FUNC MODE, then enter the desired code followed by
ENTER

S or
T keys to scroll to the desired code and press
ENTER

NOTES
Ô
• If you made a mistake in entering the frequency,
Invalid Freq briefly appears and the scanner beeps when you press
ENTER. Enter the frequency again.
• Your scanner automatically rounds the entered frequency to the nearest valid frequency. For example, if you enter a frequency of
151.53, your scanner accepts it as
151.5275. Reception of the frequency will not be adversely affected.
• If you enter a frequency that has already been entered elsewhere in the same bank, the scanner sounds an error tone and displays
Dupl.f and the channel number that has been duplicated.
If the dual entry is an error press CLR and enter the correct frequency. If the dual entry is intentional press ENTER to accept.
• You may replace any frequency by selecting the bank and channel, pressing
PGM and entering the new frequency.
• You can clear programmed frequency data by pressing FUNC, then
CLR.
• If you make an error in the entry process, press CLR as often as needed to erase the incorrect data, or press and hold CLR for one second to clear the entire field.
