Using this Manual

To get the most from this manual, review the contents to become familiar with the basic functions available. If you are new to scanning or trunktracking, be sure to read the “Understanding Scanning” section for a quick background on the technology behind the hobby.

The first thing you’ll need to do is plug the AC charger into the scanner. See “Setting Up Your Scanner” if you need any help doing this.

Next, you’ll want to listen to see what you can hear with your scanner. Install the antenna, then press SRVC and use the scroll bar to select TV Broadcast. Assuming you are in an area with a strong enough TV broadcast, your scanner should soon stop on a station’s audio program. Listen to this, or try searching another service for something more interesting, while you review the rest of the manual.
