SCANNER FEATURE

The BearTracker 885's built-in scanner lets you:
ƒ Change what's being scanned to match your location
ƒ Listen to emergency services in your area (Police, Fire,
Ambulance, DOT)
ƒ Be notified when there is potential public safety activity in your
area (BWS)
ƒ TIP: DOT channels are often used for snow plows and other road
crews. You might hear other agencies that are not as interesting
when you are in and around a town, but out on the open road,
you'll want to keep this on – especially in the winter or near
construction zones.
