3. Use the number keys and •/DELAY to enter the frequency (including the decimal point)
you want to store.
If you make a mistake, press CLEAR to delete a single digit or press and hold CLEAR
about 2 seconds to delete all digits.
4. Press ENT to store the frequency into the channel.
Notes:
• If you made a mistake in Step 3, Error appears and the scanner beeps when you press
ENT. Start again from Step 3.
• Your scanner automatically rounds the entered frequency to the nearest valid frequency.
For example, if you enter a frequency of 151.553, your scanner accepts it as 151.550.
• All scanners tune by steps. Your RadioShack scanner uses steps consistent with the
latest US or worldwide standards. If you enter a non-valid step frequency, any scanner will
tune to the next step. Some scanner designs do this without showing the correct step in the
display. This scanner will show the actual tuned frequency in the display. Because steps are
so close together, the audio quality will not be affected by the offset.
• After a transmission, the scanner automatically pauses for 2 seconds on this channel
before proceeding to the next active transmission. Press •/DELAY to turn the delay
function off or on. See "Using Delay". The scanner stores this setting in the channel.
5. The next channel in sequence is ready for programming. Press PROG then repeat steps 3
and 4.
searching the one touch banks
Your scanner contains groups of preset frequencies called One Touch Banks. Each one touch
bank is associated with a specific bank is associated with a specific activity (see "One Touch
Banks"). You can search for marine, fire/police, air, ham, and weather transmissions even if
you do not know the specific frequencies that are used in your area.
