1. Turn the SQUELCH knob completely clockwise.
2. Turn the VOLUME knob halfway.
REMEMBER: The scanner turns on and off via
the VOLUME knob.
3. Turn the SQUELCH knob counterclockwise until
there is a perceptible static sound.
4. Now readjust the VOLUME knob to a comfort-
able listening level.
5. Adjust the SQUELCH knob slowly until the static
sound stops.
NOTE: It may be necessary to readjust the
SQUELCH knob to block weak and intrusive
transmissions.
At this time, the unit will automatically scan
through the channels regardless of whether or not
you have programmed in any frequencies.

An RCA Frequency Guide has been packed with
your scanner to give you some guidance on what
frequencies are active in your area that you can
manually enter into your scanner's memory.
Some other ways to find active frequencies:
• local amateur radio clubs;
• local electronic shops;
• local fire/police departments;
• the Internet.

Your scanner can receive
frequencies that lie mainly
within its "line of sight,"
meaning you probably will
not be able to receive
communication from
beyond the visible horizon.
NOTE: The aircraft band
frequency range is 806-
960MHz and 118-136.975
MHz. Just as all frequencies
listed may not be available
in your area, your scanner
may not pick up all
frequencies listed.
