UNDERSTANDING YOUR SCANNER

A LOOK AT THE KEYPAD

Your scanner's keys might seem confusing at first, but this information
should help you understand each key's function.

          SCAN - scans through the programmed channels.

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

   LOCKOUT/S/S - lets you lock out a selected channel.  Skips a specified
                 frequency during limit or direct search.

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

       CLEAR/. - clears an incorrect entry or enters the decimal point
                 necessary when programming frequencies.

     MONITOR/0 - accesses the six monitor memories.  See "Moving a Frequency 
                 from a Monitor Memory to a Channel", on (Faxback Doc.
                 # 33546).

   WX/E(enter) - scans through the preprogrammed weather channels or enters
                 frequencies into channels.

      KEYLOCK/ - locks/unlocks the keypad to prevent accidental entries or
    (Backlight   turns on the display light for 15 seconds.  See "Using the
       Symbol)   Keylock" and "Using the Display Backlight", (on Faxback 
                 Doc. # 33547).

       PROGRAM - programs frequencies into channels.

    \/, LIMIT, - search for active frequencies.  See "Searching for and
        and /\   Temporarily Storing Active Frequencies", (on Faxback Doc.
                 # 33546).

   Number Keys - each key has a single-digit label, and keys 1-6 have a 
                 range of numbers printed above them.  The single digits 
                 refer to the number of a channel or frequency entered.  
                 The number range (21-30, for example) show the channels 
                 that make up a memory bank.  In addition, the keypad has 
                 different functions in manual mode, scan mode, and program 
                 mode.  See "Banks and Memories", below.

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. A number (1-6)
                 appears to the right of MON indicating which monitor memory
                 you are listening to.

          BANK - shows which channel-storage banks are turned on for the 
                 scan mode.  See "Banks and Memories", below.

       KEYLOCK - appears when you lock the KEYPAD.

       BATT.Lo - appears when the batteries are low.

            CH - digits that precede this indicator show which of the 60
                 channels the scanner is tuned to.

           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 select the priority feature.

           L/O - appears when you manually select a locked-out channel, or 
                 during as search hold when the frequency is stored in 
                 search skip memory.

            WX - appears when you scan the preprogrammed weather channels.

     \/ and /\ - indicate the search direction.

          SRCH - appears during a limit search, a direct search, and a 
                 weather band search.  See "Searching For and Temporarily 
                 Storing Active Frequencies", (on Faxback Doc. # 33546).

           -L- - appears instead of the channel number during a limit 
                 search.
                                    
           -d- - appears instead of the channel number during a direct 
                 search.

            Hi - appears with a frequency to show the upper limit of the 
                 frequency range to search.

            Lo - appears with a frequency to show the lower limit of the 
                 frequency range to search.

           -H- - appears during a limit search hold.

           -h- - appears during a direct search hold.

         Error - appears when you make an entry error.

BANKS AND MEMORIES

Your scanner can store up to 66 frequencies.  You store each frequency in
either a memory called a channel, or a temporary memory called a monitor.
This scanner has 60 channels and six monitor memories.

CHANNEL-STORAGE BANKS

To make it easier to identify and select the channels you want to listen
to, channels are divided into six 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 band
(see "Guide to the Action Bands"), (on Faxback Doc. # 33548).

For example, the police might use four frequencies, one for each area of
town.  You could program the police frequencies starting with Channel 1
(Bank 1) and then program the fire department frequencies starting with
Channel 11 (the first Channel in Bank 2).

MONITOR MEMORIES

The scanner also has six monitor memories.  Use these memories to
temporarily store frequencies while you decide whether or not 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 search mode, ON appears and the flashing number at the
top of the display indicates the currently selected monitor memory.  Once
you have stored a frequency into that monitor memory, press \/ or /\.  The
scanner shifts to the next monitor memory and restarts the search mode.

NOTE:  To store frequencies into a monitor memory, you must first perform
       a limit or direct search.  See "Searching For and Temporarily
       Storing Active Frequencies", (on Faxback Doc. # 33546).
