SETTING VOLUME AND SQUELCH

Follow these steps to set VOLUME and SQUELCH.

1.  Turn VOLUME 1/4 turn clockwise and SQUELCH fully clockwise.

2.  Slowly turn SQUELCH counterclockwise until you hear a hissing sound.

3.  Slowly turn SQUELCH clockwise until the hissing stops.

NOTE:  If you want to listen to a weak or distant station, turn SQUELCH
       counterclockwise.  You might hear hissing between transmissions.

USING THE KEYLOCK

Once your program your scanner, you can protect it from accidental program
changes by turning on the keylock feature.  In this mode, the only
controls that operate are SCAN, MANUAL, LIGHT, VOLUME, and SQUELCH.

To turn on the keylock, press K-LOCK until KEYLOCK appears on the display.
To turn it off, press K-LOCK until KEYLOCK disappears.

STORING FREQUENCIES

Following these steps to store a frequency into a channel.

1.  Press MANUAL.  Enter the channel number you want to program.

2.  Press PROG.  PGM appears on the display to indicate the scanner is in
    the programming mode.

3.  Enter a frequency.

4.  Press ENTER to store the frequency.

    NOTES:  If you made a mistake in Step 3, ERROR appears on the display
            and the scanner sounds three beeps.  To clear the display,
            press CLEAR.  Then proceed again from Step 3.

            Your scanner automatically rounds the entered frequency to the
            nearest valid frequency.  For example, if you try to enter a
            frequency of 151.473, your scanner accepts it as 151.475.

5.  Repeat Steps 1 through 4 to program more channels.

    NOTE:  If you want to program the next channel in sequence, repeat
           Steps 2 through 4.

SEARCHING FOR AND TEMPORARILY STORING ACTIVE FREQUENCIES

Good references for active frequencies are Radio Shack's "Police Call
Guide Including Fire and Emergency Services," "Official Aeronautical
Frequency Directory," and "Maritime Frequency Directory."  We update these
directories every year, so be sure to get a current copy.

If you do not have a reference to frequencies in your area, use a Limit or
direct search to find a transmission.  See also "A Guide to the Action
Bands" in this manual.

NOTE:  Press DELAY if you want to make the scanner pause 2 seconds after a
       transmission ends before it proceeds to the next frequency.

Limit Search

Limit Search lets you search within a specific range of frequencies.  -L-
appears on the display during a limit search.

1.  Press PROG, then LIMIT.

2.  Enter the lower limit of the frequency range you want to search.

3.  Press ENTER, then LIMIT.

4.  Enter the upper limit of the frequency range.

5.  Press ENTER, then LIMIT.

6.  Press \/ to search from the upper to the lower limit or press /\ to
    search form the lower to the upper limit.

7.  When the scanner stops on a transmission, press MONITOR to store the
    frequency in the current monitor memory, or press \/ or /\ to continue
    the search.

Direct Search

When you listen to a channel, you can search up or down from the currently
displayed frequency.  -d- appears on the display during a direct search.

1.  Press MANUAL, the channel number and MANUAL, in sequence to select a
    frequency stored in a channel.

2.  Press \/ or /\ to search up or down from the selected frequency.

3.  When the scanner stops on a transmission, press MONITOR to store that
    frequency in the current monitor memory.  Or press \/ or /\ to
    continue the search.

MOVING A FREQUENCY FROM A MONITOR MEMORY TO A CHANNEL

Follow these steps to move a frequency from a monitor memory to a channel.

1.  Press MANUAL.

2.  Enter the channel number you want to store the monitor frequency in;
    then press PROG.

3.  Press MONITOR and enter the monitor memory number that has the
    frequency you want to store.

4.  Press ENTER.  The scanner stores the frequency in the selected
    channel.

SCANNING THE CHANNELS

To begin scanning, press SCAN.  Your scanner scans through non-locked
channels in the activated banks.  Set SQUELCH so you do not hear the
hissing sound between transmissions.
