Programming Tips for Scanner

Program one frequency per channel.
n
Channel 1 is the location of the default priority channel. Program the most important
n
f r e q u e n c y, 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
n
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 M A N U A L 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:
n Bank Number
1
2
3
4
5
If you make an error during programming, or the frequency is out of range,
n
appears on the frequency display.
If you program the same frequency in two channels, the display will indicate the
n
channel with the duplicate frequency. If you want to have two of the same frequencies
on different channels, accept the entry by pressing E a g a i n .
During numeric entry, if you know that you pressed the wrong number,
n
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
n
such as 450.4875, press each of the seven digits in sequence.
If
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.
