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

Your scanner automatically delays scanning for 2 seconds after a transmission ends before it proceeds to the next channel.

Note: If you previously stored a car number in a channel (see “Storing a Car Number and Frequency” on Page 31), the scanner clears the number when you store a new frequency into a channel.

Searching the Service Banks

Your scanner contains groups of preset frequencies called service banks. Each service bank is associated with a specific activity (see “Service Banks” on Page 21).

1.Press BAND. A service bank’s name, SEARCH, and the frequency search range appear.

Note: The frequency search range does not appear if the CAR or MRN CH service bank is selected.

2.To select a different service bank, repeatedly press s or t until the desired bank name appears.

3.Press BAND. The scanner starts searching the frequencies within that service bank.

Note: To change the search direction, press s or t.

4.When the scanner stops on a transmission, quickly press either:

t or s to continue searching

HOLD to stop searching so you can listen to the transmission. HOLD appears.
