How This Guide Is Organized - AOR AR1000 Manual

How this guide is organized

The Guide to the AR1000 is written for both the beginner and the expert user
alike. If you're new to the AR1000, this guide will get you started and take you
quite a ways along the path. If you're an experienced scanner user, even with the
AR1000, you will probably find some new tricks and information within.
The guide is divided into four sections: Operations, Applications, Accessories,
and Reference. At the end you'll find an Appendix containing useful source
material. Because each section is meant to stand on its own, there is, by necessity,
some redundancy of material.
The Operations section shows you how to perform all the AR1000 basic opera-
tions. You'll learn how to program channels with frequencies, scan and lock
banks, and set up search banks so you can search for frequencies within a specific
range. This is where to turn to learn how to operate your scanner.
The Applications section provides higher-level tips and shows you how to take
advantage of your scanner in special circumstances. You'll learn tricks for finding
hidden frequencies with the search feature, setting up car radio-like buttons for
your favorite frequencies, copying groups of frequencies, using the AR1000 in
your car, and optimizing the memory space in the scanner.
The Accessories section describes the accessories that come with the AR1000 as
well as other readily-available accessories that will enhance your enjoyment of the
scanner. We talk about using the power supply and nicad batteries with the
AR1000, as well as how to remove the belt clip and shoulder strap hooks. This
section also discusses antennas and has a special chapter on customizing the
AR1000 that includes instructions for extending the frequency coverage of earlier
models.
The Reference section is a complete description of every display indicator, button
and control found on the AR1000. It tells you what each button and control
does and what each display indicator means.
The Appendix contains resources that you will find useful in expanding your
scanner horizons. We include a frequency list of useful frequencies and search
ranges and we list frequency guides, scanner-related magazines, and other sources
of information of interest to scanner enthusiasts.
