SETTING UP THE SCANNERThese guidelines will help you install and use your new scanner: If your scanner receives interference or electrical noise, move thescanner or its antenna away from the source. You might also try changingthe height or angle of the antennas. Use an optional mono earphone or mono headset with proper impedancefor private listening. Do not use the scanner in high-moisture environments such as in thekitchen or bathroom. Avoid placing the scanner in direct sunlight or near heating elements orvents.CONNECTING POWER1.Insert the supplied AC Adapter’sbarrel plug into the power jack on the back of the scanner. Then plug theAdapter into a standard household outlet that supplies 230V AC, 50Hz.The scanner goes into Power Off mode and the clock displays.## Do not plug the adapter into a switch controlled outlet.2. Open the battery compartment and insert 3 AA batteries.Be sure to note the polarity markings in thebattery compartment. You can use eitheralkaline or rechargeable batteries, but thescanner will not recharge batteries in thecompartment. Use only fresh alkaline AA batteries.Rechargeable batteries can be used, but batterylife is shorter than with alkaline batteries. Always remove old or weak batteries. Batteriescan leak chemicals that destroy electroniccircuits. Do not mix old and new batteries, different typesof batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable)or rechargeable batteries of different capacities.## Batteries are intended to provide backup power for the clock and forscanning for a short time. When the backup batteries becomes toolow,appears. Promptly replace the batteries.3. When you either install batteries or connect the AC Adapter to a standardwall outlet, the scanner powers on and goes to STANDBY mode. Thedisplay shows the initial clock time of 0:00. The scanner remains inSTANDBY mode.15

CONNECTING AN ANTENNAThe scanner uses an external telescopic antennato receive all signals. Connect the supplied rodantenna by pushing the antenna’s connectoronto the antenna jack on the back of thescanner and twisting it to the desired angle.You can also use an external antenna (notsupplied) to help to bring in weaker signals.Use RG58, 50-Ohm lead with a BNC connectorto connect the antenna to the scanner. Connect and mount the antennaaccording to the instructions provided with the antenna.CAUTION: Be sure to follow all safety warnings provided with the antenna.Failure to do so could expose you to risk of injury or death and could severelydamage the scanner.USING THE BACKLIGHTTo turn on the backlight for 15 seconds, tap SNOOZE/Light.

Usethe / buttons to step through the selected band.The scanner stops on active channels.You can also enter the channel frequency using thekeypad. Enter the channel frequency and press E.STEP3ServiceUSING FM CHANNEL MEMORYYour scanner has 30 FM channels for quickchannel recall (FM1/FM2/FM3).To store a channel into memory:3STEP1. Select the band (FM1, FM2, or FM3).Service2. Directly select the channel you want to store (seeabove).3. While listening to the channel, press and holdthe number button that corresponds to the channel you want to save thechannel into for 2 seconds. The scanner switches to the Memory mode forthe current band.18

To quickly recall a channel:1. Select the band (FM1, FM2, or FM3).2. Select the channel memory mode by pressing PRI/MEM.3. Tap the number button that corresponds to the channel where thefrequency is stored.SETTING UP SLEEP MODEYou can set the amount of time the scanner will remain on. For example, ifyou are going to bed and you want to listen to the radio for a while, you canset the scanner to turn itself off after 20 minutes.1.

The screen return to the previous display.USING THE SCANNER MEMORIESYour scanner has 500 channels that you can savefrequencies into for scanning. The channels arearranged in 10 banks of 50 memories each. Whilescanning, you can quickly select which bank to scan bypressing the number button that corresponds to thebank you want to turn on or off for scanning. To selectthe scanner mode, slide the mode switch to Scanner.ServiceSleepPROGRAMMING MEMORIESYou will first need to determine the frequencies you want to save.Make a list of the frequencies you want to program, then organize them ingroups. The following table is an example of one way to organize and keeptrack of your frequencies. The numbers in the left-hand columns correspondto your scanner’s channel numbers. Only the first 10 channels of the first threebanks are shown here.19

BANK 1BANK 2BANK 591091060110Follow these steps to enter or change a frequency in a memory:1. Press E/PGM to enter the Program mode (the scanner turns on the PGMicon).2. If the current channel is not the one you want to program, enter thechannel number then press HOLD.3. Enter the frequency, including the decimal point, and then press E/PGM.4. To program the next channel, press or and repeat step 3. Toprogram a different channel, repeat from step 2.5.

Then, select a channel by pressing or to go to the channelor input the channel number then press HOLD.SCANNING MEMORY BANKSTo scan the channels you have programmed, press SCAN. The scannerscans all unlocked programmed channels in enabled memory banks, stoppingon a channel when it detects a transmission. To turn on/off channel bankswhile scanning, press the number button that corresponds to the channel bankyou want to enable or disable.RECEIVING CTCSS/DCSIn Scan mode, if CTCSS and DCS are set to any, and CTCSS or DCS isreceived, CTCSS frequency or DCS code will blink.If CTCSS and DCS are set to desire code, and CTCSS or DCS is received,CTCSS frequency or DCS code will display.In Limit Search mode, and Service Search mode, if CTCSS or DCS isreceived, CTCSS frequency or DCS code will blink.LOCKING/UNLOCKING CHANNELSYou can lock channel so that they are not scanned, even if their bank isturned on. Simply press L/O when the scanner stops on a transmission onthe frequency or manually select the channel, then press L/O. The L/O icondisplays when it is set to a locked out channel.To unlock a channel, manually select the channel then press L/O. The scannerturns off the L/O icon and includes the channel when scanning its bank.To unlock all channels related to a specific bank in Scan mode, press and holdL/O for 2 seconds. The scanner beeps twice and the L/O icon disappears.USING PRIORITY SCANYou can set one channel in each bank as a priority channel. If you turn on thePriority feature, the scanner will check the priority channel in enabled banksevery 2 seconds, even if it has stopped on a transmission on another channel.To set the channel in a bank to be the priority channel, manually select thechannel; then, while holding on the memory, press E/PGM to put the scanner21

in Program mode and press PRI. The scanner turns on the P icon when it isstopped on a channel designated as priority.To switch between Priority Scan/Priority DND/Off, press PRI while the scanneris scanning or holding on a channel (but not in Program mode). You will noticea short break in audio every 2 seconds as the scanner checks the enabledpriority channel. If there is a transmission on a priority channel, the scannerwill immediately tune to that channel. If Priority DND is set, the scanner doesnot check Priority channels during receiving.SETTING CHANNEL DELAYYou can set the scanner to pause for 2 seconds at the end of a transmissionon a channel. This is useful to help prevent missed replies. Delay is turned onby default when you program a channel. To turn Delay off (or back on), selectthe channel and then press DELAY. The scanner
