Notes:

•If you make a mistake in Step 2, Error appears on the display and the scanner beeps three times. Simply start again from Step 2.

•Your scanner automatically rounds the entered frequency to the nearest valid frequency. For example, if you try to enter a fre- quency of 151.473, your scanner accepts it as 151.475.

4.Repeat Steps 1 - 3 to program more channels. Or, if you want to program the next channel in sequence, press MANUAL and repeat Steps 2 and 3.

Notes:

•VHF band frequencies (30-300 MHz) are found at .005 MHz steps. UHF band frequencies (300-3000 MHz) are found at .0125 MHz steps.

•Without battery or external adapter power, the scanner protects the frequencies stored in memory for about 60 minutes.

SEARCHING FOR AND STORING ACTIVE FREQUENCIES

Band Search

A band search lets you search for active transmissions within any one of the eight pre-programmed frequency bands.

29–54 MHz	137–144 MHz	144–148 MHz
148–174 MHz	406–450 MHz	450–470 MHz
470–512 MHz	806–956 MHz

Follow these steps to search for active frequencies.

1.Press MANUAL, then HOLD/BAND. The scanner displays the previ- ously selected frequency band for 2 seconds, then automatically starts searching.

2.To select a different frequency band, repeatedly press HOLD/BAND until the desired frequency band appears on the display.
