The PRO-96 V-Scanner (Virtual
Scanner) feature allows you to edit, store, recall and use up to eleven full sets of scanner memory profiles. With V-Scanners it is possible to create separate scanner memory profiles for different areas you visit or different ways that you use the scanner.
Your scanner contains two types of storage memory. Working
memory is the memory that your scanner uses while you are programming, cloning, or using your scanner. V-Scanner
memory is the memory that your scanner uses to store saved configurations in V-Scanner
folders for later recall and use.
Your scanner features ten
V-Scanner folders (0-9) for configuration storage. An additional “scratchpad” V-Scanner folder can be accessed with the decimal point (.) key and is indicated in the display with the “#” symbol. The scratchpad folder offers a convenient location to temporarily store the contents of working memory when managing the V-Scanner memory.
Working with V-Scanner folders is much like working with computer application files, such as spreadsheets and word processing documents. Any programming changes you make to the scanner’s working memory

_ can be saved to one of the ten V-
Scanner folders, or the scratchpad folder. When you save working memory to a V-Scanner folder, all settings contained in working memory are saved, including channels, talkgroups, lockout status, contrast settings, etc.
Previously saved V-Scanner folders can be recalled and loaded into working memory. You can also erase the contents of V-
Scanner folders, or move the contents of one folder to another using working memory. V-Scanner folder names are stored in Line 4 from the Welcome screen that appears when you first power on the scanner. You can change the contents of line 4 from the current working memory configuration.
This information is saved when you store the V-Scanner.
Follow these steps to edit the V-
Scanner name stored in Line 4 of the Welcome screen:
