If you made a mistake in Step 3, Error appears on the display and the scanner sounds three beeps. Simply start again from Step 3.

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.

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

To listen to a frequency you have stored, press MANUAL, the channel number, then MANUAL again.

SEARCHING FOR AND TEMPORARILY STORING ACTIVE FREQUENCIES

Good references for active frequencies are Radio Shack’s “Police Call Radio Guide Including Fire and Emergency Services,” “Aeronautical Frequency Directory,” and “Maritime Frequency Directory.” We update these directories every year, so be sure to get a current copy.

If you do not have a reference to frequencies in your area, or if you want to search for unlisted frequencies, use a limit search or direct search. See also “Guide to the Action Bands” in this manual.
