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 10 and fire/emergency into channels 11 through 20, 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.
