USING THE RESET BUTTON
The scanner's display might lock up
when you first connect power to it or if
power fails for more than 1 hour. If the
display locks up, use a pointed object
such as a paper clip to press RESET
(on the back panel). This clears all
programmed information from the
scanner. Use this procedure only
when you are sure your scanner is not
working properly.

SETTING THE VOLUME AND
SQUELCH
Use the SQUELCH control to de¬
crease the scanner's sensitivity to
weak signals and enable the scanner
to receive only the strongest transmis¬
sions.
1. Turn the SQUELCH and VOLUME
controls fully counterclockwise.
2. Turn the VOLUME control clock¬
wise until you hear a hissing sound.
3. Slowly turn the SQUELCH control
clockwise until the hissing stops.
SCANNING THE CHANNELS
*
To begin scanning the channels,
press [SCAN], Your scanner scans
through all the channels (except the
ones you have locked out) that are
contained in the activated banks. Be
sure to read the following sections to
get the full benefit from the special
features of your scanner.
SETTING THE SCANNING
SPEED
Your scanner has two different scan¬
ning speeds-8 channels per second
and 16 channels per second. To
switch between the two scanning
speeds, press [SPEED] during scan¬
ning.
USING THE DELAY FEATURE
Many agencies use a two-way radio
system that can have a period of 2 or
more seconds between a query and a
reply. To keep from missing a reply,
program a delay on the channels you
identify as operating this way.
To program a delay, select the chan¬
nel and press [DELAY] so that DLY
appears on the display. This makes
your scanner pause for 2 seconds
after the completion of each transmis¬
sion on that channel before it resumes
scanning.
For immediate scanning, select the
channel and be sure that DLY is not
on the display. If DLY appears on the
display, press [DELAY] to turn it off
for that channel.
LOCKING OUT CHANNELS
You can make your scanner scan
more efficiently by locking out chan¬
nels that you have not programmed.
Manually select the channel and press
[LOCK OUT] so that L/OUT appears
on the display. This is also handy for
locking out channels that have a con¬
tinuous transmission, such as a
weather channel. You can still man¬
ually select locked-out channels for
listening.
To disable the lock-out function, man¬
ually select the channel and press
[LOCK OUT] so that L/OUT disap¬
pears from the display.
Note: You can lock out all but one
channel in each bank.
