Quick Start

step 5: monitoring and scanning

monitoring

To monitor a channel, press SCAN/MANUAL while the scanner is pausing on the channel, or stop the scanning by pressing SCAN/ MANUAL, enter the channel number, and press SCAN/MANUAL.

scanning

To scan, press SCAN/MANUAL. When the scanner ﬁnds a transmission, it monitors the transmission until it ends.

•If you have not stored frequencies into any channels,

NOTES the scanner cannot scan.

•If the scanner picks up weak transmissions, turn SQUELCH clockwise to decrease the scanner’s sensitivity to these signals. To listen to a weak or distant station, turn SQUELCH counterclockwise.

Press SCAN/MANUAL to stop scanning, or press HOLD/RESUME to pause the scan without losing your position.

earphones / headphones

For private listening, you can plug earphones or headphones into your scanner’s headphone jack. Do not use headphones with your scanner when operating a motor vehicle in or near trafﬁc. Doing so can create a trafﬁc hazard and could be illegal in some areas. Some headphones let you hear some outside sounds when listening at normal volume levels, but they still can present a trafﬁc hazard.

To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines for headphones.

•Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high- volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.

•Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening, then adjust the volume to a comfortable level.

•After you set the volume, do not increase it. Over time, your ears adapt to the volume level, so a volume level that does not cause discomfort might still damage your hearing.
