20-427 Owner's Manual Draft
Manual Tuning – allows you to manually move through the entire range of available
frequencies. (See "Specifications" for a list of the available frequency Ranges.)
understanding channel storage banks
A bank is a storage area for a group of channels. Channels are storage areas for frequencies.
Whereas a channel can only contain one frequency, a bank can hold numerous channels.
To make it easier to identify and select the channels you want to listen to, your scanner
divides the channels into 10 banks (1 to 10) of 30 channels each, a total of 300 channels. You
can use each channel-storage bank to group frequencies.
Note: The scanner is preset so each banks is turned on (see "Turning Channel-Storage
Banks Off and On").
setting up your scanner
turning on the scanner and setting squelch
1. To turn on the scanner, turn VOL clockwise. WELCOME appears. After about 3 seconds,
you might hear a hissing sound. Then adjust VOL to a comfortable level.
2. Turn SQ fully counterclockwise, then turn SQ clockwise until the hissing sound stops.
3. To turn off the scanner, turn VOL counterclockwise to OFF.
Notes:
• The scanner does not scan if there are no frequencies stored in channels. If the scanner
does not scan and you have already stored frequencies in channels, turn SQ further
clockwise.
• If the scanner picks up unwanted, partial, or very weak transmissions, turn SQ clockwise
