PRO-46  (200-0305)     Understanding Your Scanner      Faxback Doc. # 3598

A LOOK AT THE DISPLAY

The display has several indicators that show the scanner's current
operating mode.  A quick look at the display will help you understand how
to operate your scanner.

      MON - appears when you listen to a monitor memory.

     BANK - shows which channel-storage banks are turned on for the scan
            mode.  See "Understanding Channel Storage Banks."

  KEYLOCK - appears when you lock the keypad.

 BATT. LO - appears when the battery is low.

       CH - digits that precede this indicator show which of the 100
            channels the scanner has tuned to.

        P - appears when you listen to the priority channel.

      MHz - digits that precede this indicator show which frequency the
            scanner is tuned to.

     SCAN - appears when you scan channels.

      MAN - appears when you manually select a channel.

      PGM - appears while you program frequencies into the scanner's
            channels.

      PRI - appears when you program a selected channel for priority.

      L/O - appears when you manually select a locked channel.

      DLY - appears when you program a channel for a two-second delay
            before scanning or when you listen to a channel that has been
            programmed with the delay feature.

       WX - appears when you scan the preprogrammed weather channels.

/\ and \/ - indicate the search direction.

     SRCH - appears during a limit search.

A LOOK AT THE KEYBOARD

Your scanner's keys might seem confusing at first, but the following
information should help you understand the key's functions.

       SCAN - scans through the programmed channels.

      L/OUT - lets you lock out a selected channel.

         WX - scans through the preprogrammed weather channels.

      LIGHT - turns on the display light for 15 seconds.  Press LIGHT
              again to turn off the light.

     K-LOCK - locks/unlocks the keypad to prevent accidental entries.

     MANUAL - stops scanning and lets you directly enter a channel number.

   PRIORITY - sets and turns on and off priority for a particular channel.

    MONITOR - accesses the 10 monitor memories.

       PROG - programs frequencies into channels.

      CLEAR - clears an incorrect entry.

NUMBER KEYS - each key has a single-digit label and a range of numbers
              printed above it.  The single digits refer to the number of
              a channel or frequency entered.  The range of numbers (21-
              30, for example) shows the channels that make up a memory
              bank.  See "Understand Channel-Storage Banks."

      DELAY - programs a two second delay for the selected channel.

      ENTER - enters frequencies into channels.

 LIMIT, /\, - search for active frequencies.
 and \/

          . - enters the decimal point necessary when programming
              frequencies.

UNDERSTANDING CHANNEL-STORAGE BANKS

Your scanner can store up to 110 frequencies.  You store each frequency in
either a permanent memory, called a channel, or a temporary memory, called
a monitor.  This scanner has 100 channels, and 10 monitor memories.

CHANNEL-STORAGE BANKS

To make it easier to identify and select the channels you want to listen
to, channels are divided into 10 channel-storage banks of 10 channels
each.  Use each channel-storage bank to group frequencies, such as the
police department, fire department, ambulance services, or aircraft.

For example, the police might use four frequencies, one for each side of
town.  You could program the fire department into Channel 11 (Bank 2).

MONITOR MEMORIES

The scanner also has 10 temporary monitor memories.  Use these memories to
temporarily store frequencies while you decide whether to save them into
channels.  this is handy for quickly storing an active frequency when you
are searching through an entire band.

When you are in the monitor mode, the 10 numbers at the top of the display
indicate the 10 monitor memories.  MON appears and the number indicates
the currently active monitor memory.
