Scanning Overview

You can scan in one of five ways:

1.Close Call RF Capture When you activate Close Call your scanner will detect nearby strong radio frequencies. You may run Close Call in the background of any of the four options below or on its own.

2.Service Scanning Press SVC to select one of the six services to find an active frequency. Police, Railroad and AM CB service frequencies are valid for Australia only. Aircraft, Marine and UHF CB service frequencies are valid for both Australia and New Zealand.

3.Band Search Band Search Select a frequency band to search. The Search function is different from scanning. It searches for any active frequency step by step within the lower and upper limits of the band. When an active frequency is found, the scanner will stop and stay on that frequency as long as that transmission lasts. If that frequency is interesting to you, press HOLD/RESUME to hold the frequency on the display. Then program it into the private bank you want to store. If you do not want to program that frequency, press HOLD/RESUME or just wait until the transmission ends. The search resumes automatically 2 seconds after the last transmission and looks for more active frequencies.

4.Private Scanning If you have programmed frequencies into this bank, press SCAN, then 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or to scan only those that you have programmed in this bank.

5.State Scanning You can select Police, Fire and Ambulance frequencies which are pre-programmed on a Australian state by state (including New Zealand) basis.

Note: Before you can scan the Private Bank, you must program frequencies into the

channels. To program frequencies, see “Programming Frequencies into Channels” on page 21.

When scanning stops on an active frequency, it remains on that channel as long as the transmission continues. When the transmission ends, the scanner will remain on the same channel for 2 more seconds, waiting for a responding transmission. If there is no responding transmission within 2 seconds, the scanning cycle resumes.

Turn the Scanner On

1.Turn the VOL knob clockwise.

The scanner is turned on: the Alert Light flashes and the Alert

Tone beeps loudly.

Note: The Alert Tone depends on the currently setting selected (see page 20).

2.While the alert tone sounds the display shows ‘UBCT9’. When this stops the last setting mode selected before starts.
