Operation
MEMORY TUNING
When RECALL mode is selected, the Scout automatically tunes a connected receiver to the frequen-
cy stored in the currently displayed memory location. Each time the displayed memory location is
changed by pressing the GATE switch, a corresponding tuning command is transmitted to the receiv-
er. This feature allows the user to instantly tune to transmissions on frequencies which have been
previously captured by the Scout.
MEMORY CLEAR
Because memory data is protected from all but catastrophic power loss, it is necessary to manually
clear the memory when it is full. Memory clear is accomplished by holding down the
GATE/RECALL/CLEAR push-button
ory is cleared, all captured frequencies and hits stored in memory are lost. To keep a permanent
record of the frequencies and hits stored in memory, be sure to select NORMAL mode and download
them to a personal computer using the Optolinx (optional) computer interface.
CHARGE OPERATION
1. The Scout will automatically shut down when the battery pack is discharged.
2. If the battery pack is permitted to completely discharge, charging may terminate after only a few
minutes. This is a safety feature to protect the battery pack, theScout and the user. If this happens,
charging can be restarted by re-applying power (unplug the power adapter and plug it back in).
3. If the battery is not recharged and is permitted to discharge even further, the charge circuit must be
restarted several times before a complete charge will occur.
