Programming from SCAN Mode:

When you find an interesting active police frequency while scanning, and want to program it into the private bank (see "Scanning" on page 19) to monitor their communications:

1. Press [HOLD]. “HOLD” appears on the display.

2. Press [PROG]. CH appears and blinks to indicate that you are in the Programming Mode. To change the displayed fre- quency, use [UP] or [DOWN] while “CH” is blinking.

3. Press [PRIVATE]. “PRIVATE” appears on the display.

If you want to program it into another bank, press the desired bank key. The lowest open channel appears on the display.

2 screens alternate to indicate that open channel is available to be programmed.

The scanner automatically selects the lowest open channel (000.0000) for easy programming. If all channels have been programmed (there are no open channels in the bank), channel 1 appears.

Use [UP] or [DOWN] to select a new channel and even over- write old channels.

4. Press [PROG] to store the frequency in the desired channel.

Note: Press [BAND] to escape from programming mode before step 4.
