Programming Tips
•Do not program a weather frequency into one of the
channels, since weather channels transmit continuously.
Use 
for weather information.
•Group similar frequencies into adjacent channels.
For example, program police frequencies in channels 1 through 5 and fire/emergency into channels 6 through 10, and so on.
•Put the frequency that you listen to the most or the most important frequency into a Priority channel.
•To quickly program a series of channels, start with the lowest number channel. For example, when you are programming five new frequencies into Channels 4 through 8, start with
Channel 4. After you finish programming a channel,
press 
or 
to go to the next higher channel.
•To erase the channel, press 
, and then press 
. Channels with no frequencies are automatically locked out.
•Record channels and frequencies in some convenient place in case the scanner memory is lost.
