Programming Tips for Scanner
■
Program one frequency per channel.
■
Channel 1 is the location of the default priority channel. Program the most important
frequency, or the one of major interest, into Channel 1. You may also select any other
channel to be the priority channel.
■
To quickly program a series of channels, start with the lowest number channel. For
example, when you are programming five new frequencies into Channels 4 through 8,
start with Channel 4. After you complete the programming in one channel (by pressing
E), press MANUAL to step up to the next channel.
Channels are grouped by banks for easy scanning control. The channels associated with
the banks are as follows:
■
Bank Number Channel Number
1 1 through 10
2 11 through 20
3 21 through 30
4 31 through 40
5 41 through 50
■
If you make an error during programming, or the frequency is out of range,
Error
appears on the frequency display.
■
If you program the same frequency in two channels, the display will indicate the
channel with the duplicate frequency. If you want to have two of the same frequencies
on different channels, accept the entry by pressing E again.
■
During numeric entry, if you know that you pressed the wrong number,
press . (decimal point) until the entry is cancelled out. When the previous frequency is
displayed, you may re-enter the frequency.
■
Above 406MHz, the frequency steps are in 12.5kHz increments. To enter a frequency
such as 450.4875, press each of the seven digits in sequence.
If
All Loc Out
appears in the display, when you first turn the
scanner on, this indicates that all the channel information has been
manually erased. All channels are set to 0.0MHz. To clear this
message, program the frequency and channel information as desired.
