PRO-2002 AM/FM Scanning Receiver (200-0116) Operation Faxback Doc. # 18981 You turn on your PRO-2002 by rotating VOLUME clockwise. (when first turned on, your PRO-2002 may start scanning.) Rotate SQUELCH fully counterclockwise. You'll hear a rushing noise from the Speaker. Slowly rotate SQUELCH clockwise until the noise just stops. You're now ready to start entering frequencies! Understanding the Display The fluorescent Display on your PRO-2002 can display the time, channel number, the frequency being received and special symbols to indicate different functions. Here's brief rundown on what those symbols mean when receiving stations (we'll cover the Clock symbols later...): _ _ _ . _ _ _ _......................Frequency d....................................Delay P. ..............................Priority mode _ _ .........................Channel indicator M..................................manual mode -.................................Program mode <-.................................Search mode L.....................................Lock out Bank Indicators 1 2 3 4 5 ........Channel Banks v v v v v S1 S1 S3 S4 S5.........Search Banks About Those Banks... You might be wondering what the "bank indicators" on the Fluorescent Display stand for. When you hear the word "bank" you think of a place where money is kept... in your PRO-2002 "banks" are where frequencies are kept! The fifty channels of your PRO-2002 are stored in five Banks of ten channels each. They're stored in the following way: Bank Channels 1 1-10 2 11-20 3 21-30 4 31-404 5 41-50 You can have your PRO-2002 scan any or all of the five Banks. If you want a bank to be scanned, just press the Key for that Bank. If you don't want that bank to be scanned, just press the Key again. Let's take an example. Suppose you only want to monitor channels 1 through 10 and 21 through 30. Press the Keys for Banks 1 and 3. You'll see the Bank Indicators light up on the Display as shown in the illustration. Your PRO-2002 will now scan channels 1 to 10 and 21 to 30. If you want to change the channels scanned, just press the Keys for Banks 1 and 3 (to turn them "off") and press the Keys for the new ranges you want to scan. You'll also use these Banks to store a range for the Search function. You can store one Search range in each Bank (for a total of five Search ranges). We'll talk about these later when we describe the Search function in detail. Programming Frequencies Before programming frequencies, make sure you PRO-2002 is turned on and the SQUELCH is adjusted as we described earlier. Suppose you want to program channel 1 to receive 162.55 MHz. Here's how you would do it: 1. Press MANUAL and select channel 1. You can do this in two ways: press MANUAL continuously until the Display indicates channel 1 or by pressing 1 MANUAL. 2. Press PROGRAM key. 3. Press the 1 6 2 */AM 5 5 Keys. Check the Display to make sure the frequency it shows is the one you meant to program. If it is, press the ENTER Key. 4. To add more frequencies, just press PROGRAM to advance to the next channel and follow the steps above. 5. If you ever want to change the frequency entered for a specific channel, just enter the new frequency "over" the old frequency using steps 1, 2 and 3. Make a mistake while entering a frequency? Just press CLEAR, enter the correct frequency and press ENTER. If you're entering a new frequency in place of an old one, the old frequency won't be "erased" when you press CLEAR. It will remain stored on that channel until you correctly enter a new frequency and press ENTER. You'll hear a "peep" sound as you press the various keys. This lets you know the Key has been properly "entered" into your PRO-2002. Using the Scanning Function Your PRO-2002 will automatically scan all the channels you've programmed and stop whenever it finds a signal. To scan channels, just press the SCAN Key. Important! Your PRO-2002 won't scan unless SQUELCH is set to the point where no sound is heard if a signal isn't being received. You can select which of the five Banks your PRO-2002 will scan by pressing the appropriate Bank Keys as we mentioned earlier. You can scan any combination of Banks from just one to all five. You can't "turn off" all the Banks; if you try to do so, Bank 1 will automatically "turn on" and your PRO-2002 will scan channels 1 through 10. To stop scanning, just press MANUAL and you can select specific channels you want to listen to. Delay Function When your PRO-2002 is scanning, it will stop whenever it finds a signal on a channel. As soon as the signal ends, the scanning function will resume. Most communications heard will be two-way. To make sure you don't miss any replies, press DELAY. This will cause your PRO-2002 to stay on a channel for three seconds after the end of a transmission, giving you time to hear any reply. To release the Delay function, just press DELAY again. The Delay indicator will show on the Display when the Delay function is used. Lockout Function You may want your PRO-2002 to "skip over" certain frequencies while it's scanning (such as continuously transmitted weather broadcasts). To "lock out" such channels, follow these steps: 1. Press MANUAL to stop scanning. Continue to press MANUAL to advance to channel you want to lock out. 2. When you reach the channel, press LOCK OUT. The Display will show L to indicate that this channel will be skipped over during scanning. 3. To release the lockout, press MANUAL to stop scanning. Advance to channel that is locked out and press LOCK OUT once again. L will disappear from the Display. If you use the lockout function on all channels, scanning will be impossible-you'll only be able to change channels using MANUAL. SPEED Selection Your PRO-2002 will normally scan channels at a rate of three channels per second. If you press SPEED channels will be scanned at a rate of six per second. Press SPEED again to return to a rate of three channels per second. Priority Function You might want to scan other channels yet not miss a call on a channel of particular interest to you (police, fire, ambulance, etc.). The Priority function will let you scan other channels-but if a call is received on the priority channel, your PRO-2002 will automatically switch to the Priority channel! Here's how to use the Priority function: 1. Press MANUAL Key. 2. Key in the desired Priority channel. Suppose you want 15 to be the Priority channel. Press 1 5 and PRIORITY. The Display will momentarily show channel 15 and then return to the channel your PRO- 2002 was on before you pressed MANUAL. This indicates that channel 15 has been correctly entered as the Priority channel. The Display will also have the Priority channel indicator showing. 3. To stop the Priority function, press PRIORITY again. Now your PRO-2002 won't switch to the Priority channel whenever a signal is received on it. To re-activate Priority, just press PRIORITY Key. 4. To change Priority channel, press PRIORITY to stop the Priority function. Enter new Priority channel as described in step 2. NOTE: You can't manually change channels while the Priority function is activated. You'll have to press PRIORITY before pressing MANUAL. SETTING THE CLOCK Your PRO-2002 also has a built-in-Clock which can be read from the Display. To set the Clock, do the following: 1. Turn on your PRO-2002 by rotating VOLUME clockwise. 2. Press MANUAL and then CLOCK. 3. Enter the current time. Suppose it is 35 seconds after 10;55 am. Press */AM 1 0 5 5 3 5. Display will now look like this: A 10.55.35 4. Now press ENTER. 5. To once again see the frequency on Display, press CLOCK. You can check the time while monitoring simply by pressing CLOCK. The time will replace the frequency, but the channel and special symbols will still be seen, as in this example: With your PRO-2002 OFF, the time will still be shown on the Display. If you don't want the time shown, press CLOCK to turn it off. So long as the 9 volts Battery for memory backup is connected, the time will be kept for 5 - 10 seconds even when a power-failure takes place. If the power failed more than 5 - 10 seconds, the display flashes "E 00.00.00.". indicating you have to reset clock. (/all-02/14/96)
