Hint: If you are storing a frequency used by a specific broad- caster (such as a racing team), you can remember where you stored the frequency by storing it in the same channel number as the team’s car number.

Note: If you enter an invalid channel number, the scanner beeps three times and Error flashes on the display for about 4 seconds. Simply repeat this step.

3.Using the number keys, enter the frequency you want to store into that channel. Use BAND/to enter the decimal point.

4.Press ENTER to store the frequency.

Notes:

If you entered an invalid frequency in Step 3, the scanner beeps three times and Error flashes on the display for about 4 seconds. Simply repeat Steps 3 and 4.

Your scanner automatically rounds the entered frequency down to the closest valid frequency. For example, if you try to enter a frequency of 151.4730, your scanner accepts it as 151.4700.

If you entered a frequency that is already stored in another channel, the scanner beeps and dUPL flashes on the dis- play for about 5 seconds, then the channel number where you tried to store the duplicate frequency appears (next to the flashing frequency).

To store the frequency, press ENTER again.

To store a different frequency, repeat Steps 3 and 4 to enter another frequency and store it.
