DIRECT SEARCH

You can search up or down from the currently displayed frequency and store
frequencies you like into monitor memories.

NOTES:  You can use the scanner's delay feature while using direct search.
        See "Delay" on Faxback Doc. # 31532.

        The scanner does not search locked-out frequencies during direct
        search.

1.  Press MANUAL or PROGRAM.

2.  Use the number keys to enter the frequency you want to start the search
    from.  Or, use the number keys to enter the channel number containing
    the starting frequency and press MANUAL or PROGRAM again.

3.  Press DIRECT.  SEARCH, -d-, and the starting frequency appear on the
    display.

4.  Press /\ or \/ to search up or down from the selected frequency.  When
    the scanner finds an active frequency, it stops searching. To save the
    frequency into a monitor memory, press MONITOR.  MONN and the current
    monitor channel number appear on the display.  Press /\ or \/ again to
    continue searching for more active frequencies.

NOTES:  As the scanner automatically searches, you can also use the TUNING
        knob to search through frequencies manually by pressing TUNE, then
        turning the TUNING knob.  Press TUNE again to continue the direct
        search.

        During direct search, you can manually change the frequency step or
        band mode.  See "Changing/Resetting the Band Mode" or "Changing/
        Resetting the Frequency Step", Faxback Doc. # 31532.

SCANNING THE CHANNELS

To begin scanning channels or to start scanning again after monitoring a
specific channel, press SCAN.

NOTES:  You must store frequencies into channels before the scanner can
        scan them (see "Searching For and Storing Active Frequencies".

        The scanner does not scan empty channels.

The scanner scans through tall channels (except those you have locked out)
in the active banks (see "Locking Out Channels and Frequencies" on Faxback
Doc. # 31532, and "Turning Channel-Storage Banks Off and On" below).

To change the scanning direction, either press /\ or \/, or rotate TUNING
counterclockwise to scan down or clockwise to scan up.

TURNING CHANNEL-STORAGE BANKS OFF AND ON

To turn off banks while scanning, press the bank's number key until the bar
under the bank's number disappears.  The scanner does not scan any of the
channels within the banks you have turned off.

NOTES:  You cannot turn off all banks.  There must be at least one active
        bank.

        You can manually select any channel in a bank, even if the bank is
        turned off.

To turn on banks while scanning, press the bank's number key until a bar
appears under the bank's number.

MOVING FREQUENCIES

Moving a Frequency from a Monitor Memory to a Channel

1.  Press PROGRAM.

2.  Use the number keys to enter the channel number where you want to store
    the monitor frequency, then press PROGRAM.

3.  Press MONITOR.  MON flashes.  Use the number keys to enter the monitor
    memory's number, then press MONITOR.  Or, turn TUNING to select the
    monitor memory's number.

    MON flashes and the monitor memory's number and frequency appear.

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

5.  To move another monitor memory frequency to the next channel, turn
    TUNING to select the next channel and repeat Steps 3-4.

Moving Frequencies from Monitor Memories to a Bank

Your scanner can move all the frequencies you have stored in monitor
memories into a bank you specify.

NOTES:  If there are more frequencies in the monitor memories than there
        are empty channels in the bank you select, the scanner moves only
        as many frequencies from the monitor memories as it has room for in
        the bank, leaving the remaining frequencies in the monitor
        memories.

        The scanner programs monitor memory frequencies into channels even
        if the same frequencies are already programmed into other channels.

1.  Press AUTO.  AUTO appears.

2.  Using the number keys, press the bank number where you want to store
    monitor memory frequencies.

    If you select a bank that contains at least one empty channel, a bar
    flashes under the bank number, and AC-, the number of empty channels
    in the bank, CH, and AUTO appear.

    NOTES:  To select bank 10, press 0.

            If you do not want to select the bank, press the bank's number
            again.

            If you select a bank that does not contain any empty channels,
            a bar flashes under the bank number, and A-FULL and AUTO
            appear.  To store new frequencies into this bank, you must
            delete one or more frequencies stored in it, then repeat Step
            2. See "Deleting Frequencies".

3.  Press and hold down ENTER, then press MONITOR.  A bar flashes under the
    bank number, and AC-, the number of empty channels in the bank, CH, and
    AUTO appear.  The scanner moves all frequencies stored in monitor
    memories into the bank you specified in Step 2.

Moving Frequencies Within Banks

You can move all stored frequencies within a bank from higher channels to
lower, empty channels.  This helps you group all of the frequencies you
stored in a bank into consecutive channels.  For example, if you stored
frequencies in channels 1 through 25, left channels 26 through 30 empty,
then stored more frequencies in channels 30 through 40, the scanner can
move all the frequencies together into channels 1 through 35.

1.  Press AUTO.  AUTO appears.

2.  Using the number keys, select the bank's number.

3.  Press and hold down ENTER, then press RESET.  The scanner automatically
    moves all frequencies in channels within the bank in consecutive order
    to the lowest available channels within the bank.

Moving Frequencies from Banks to Monitor Memories

You can move all stored frequencies within a bank to monitor memories.
This lets you quickly clear channels within a bank without losing the
frequencies.

CAUTION:  If you move frequencies from a bank to monitor memories, all
          frequencies already in the monitor memories are replaced with
          those frequencies and any empty channels from the bank.

1.  Press AUTO.  AUTO appears.

2.  Using the number keys, select the bank's number.

3.  Press and hold down ENTER, then press . (decimal).  The scanner
    automatically moves all frequencies in channels within the bank to
    monitor memories.

DELETING FREQUENCIES

Deleting a Frequency from a Channel or Monitor Memory

1.  Press PROGRAM.

2.  Use the number keys to enter the channel number or monitor memory
    containing the frequency you want to delete.

3.  If you are deleting the frequency in a channel, press PROGRAM.

    If you are deleting the frequency in a monitor memory, press MONITOR.

4.  Press 0, then press ENTER.  The frequency is deleted.

NOTE:  You can delete all frequencies in all banks at the same time by
       resetting the scanner.  See "Restarting/Resetting the Scanner" on
       Faxback Doc. # 31533.

Deleting Frequencies from All Locked-Out Channels Within a Bank

You can delete the frequencies in all locked-out channels within a bank
(see "Locking Out Channels and Frequencies" on Faxback Doc. # 31532).
This lets you delete all the old or uninteresting frequencies in channels
you have locked out.

1.  Press AUTO.  AUTO appears.

2.  Using the number keys, select the bank's number.

3.  Press and hold down ENTER, then press L/OUT.

Deleting Frequencies from All Channels Within a Bank

You can delete the frequencies in all channels within a bank.  This lets
you quickly delete all frequencies from a bank if, for example, you want
to use the bank to store a different category of frequencies.

1.  Press AUTO.  AUTO appears.

2.  Using the number keys, select the bank's number.

3.  Press and hold down ENTER, then press CLEAR.

SORTING FREQUENCIES WITHIN A BANK

You can sort the frequencies you have stored within a bank.  The scanner
moves the frequencies into consecutive channels in numerical order, either
from the lowest to the highest frequency, or the highest to the lowest
frequency.  This makes it easy for you to see the range of frequencies you
found, for example, during auto store.

NOTES:  During frequency sort, the scanner moves the frequencies it finds
        within the bank from higher channels to lower, empty channels.

        If the bank you are sorting contains the channel you programmed as
        the priority channel (see "Priority" on Faxback Doc. # 31532), the
        scanner might replace the frequency in the priority channel with
        another frequency.  If this happens, you must find the channel
        where the scanner moved the frequency, then re-designate it as the
        priority channel.

        If you turn the scanner off during frequency sort, the scanner
        saves the portion of the sort it completed.

1.  Press AUTO.  AUTO appears.

2.  Using the number keys, select the bank's number.

3.  Press and hold down ENTER, then press /\ to sort channels from the
    lowest to the highest frequency, or press \/ to sort channels from the
    highest to the lowest frequency.  As the scanner sorts the frequencies,
    Sor. appears on the display.
