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 the scanner.

           P - Appears when you listen to the priority channel.

   . MONITOR - Appears when you listen to a monitor memory.

        BANK - Appears with bars to the right to show which channel-storage
               banks are turned on for the scan mode.  See "Understanding
               Channel-Storage Banks."

          CH - Digits that precede this indicator show which of the 31,000
               possible frequencies the scanner is tuned to.

         MHz - Digits that precede this indicator show which of the 100
               channels the scanner is tuned to.

A LOOK AT THE KEYBOARD

Your scanner's keys might seem confusing at first, but a quick glance at
this page should help you understand each key's functions.

       SCAN - Scans through the programmed channels.

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

    LOCKOUT - Lets you lock out a selected channel.

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

      LIMIT - Used during frequency searches.  See "Searching For and
              Temporarily Storing Active Frequencies".

 DOWN ARROW - Searches frequencies down from the currently displayed
              frequency

   UP ARROW - Searches frequencies up from the currently displayed
              frequency.

    MONITOR - Accesses the 10 monitor memories.  See "Moving a Frequency
              from a Monitor Memory to a Channel."

      SPEED - Changes the scanning or search speed from low to high or high
              to low.

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

      CLEAR - Clears an incorrect entry.

    PROGRAM - Programs frequencies into channels.

Number Keys - Each has a single digit followed by a range of numbers.  The
              single digit is the number entered when you enter a channel
              number or a frequency.  The range of numbers (21-30, for
              example) indicates the channels that make up a channel
              storage bank.  See "Understanding Channel Storage Banks".

      ENTER - Enters program frequencies into channels.
