About This Manual

The screen displays used in this manual are representations of what might appear when you use your scanner. Since what you see
depends on the frequencies and user IDs for your area and the settings you select, you might notice some differences between what
is in this manual and what appears on your scanner.
To get the most from this manual, review the contents to become familiar with the basic functions available. If you are new to
scanning or trunk tracking, start with the following short introduction to scanning and follow-up with the enclosed reprinted article on
Programming provided with the courtesy of Popular Communications magazine.
Using the Scroll Control [FUNC]
The Scroll Control, a dual purpose control, also lets you switch to secondary function operations. When used in this manner, you
see [FUNC] in this manual. Located prominently on the right of the BCD996T's front panel, the knob/switch lets you easily control
channel selection, plus Normal and Function Modes, as well as how most of the information appears on the display.
To adjust menu settings, change channels in Hold mode, and resume scanning: Simply turn the Scroll Control.
To use [FUNC] tap the Scroll Control. This action is written in shorthand as
you tap the control [F] appears and remains in the upper left corner of the display for 3 seconds. During this time, press any button to
access the button's second function. Or, press and hold the Scroll Control for 2 seconds. The scanner beeps, and the [FUNC]
function is "latched" so that is does not return to normal mode until you tap the Scroll Control again. [F] flashes at approximately 1
second intervals.
If you select [FUNC] while scanning, the BCD996T continues to scan, but holds on the current system until the function operation is
cancelled.

brackets [MENU] to select a menu option and the option you see on the LCD in Boldface Courier type (Program System) when
