Care and Maintenance

General Use

•Turn the scanner off before disconnecting the power.

•Always write down the programmed frequencies in the event of memory loss.

•If memory is lost, simply reprogram each channel.

•Always press each button firmly until you hear the entry tone for that key entry.

Location

•Do not use the scanner in high-moisture environments such as the kitchen or bathroom.

•Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight or near heating elements or vents.

•If the scanner receives strong interference or electrical noise, move it or its antenna away from the source of the noise. If possible, a higher elevation might provide better reception.

•Also try changing the height or angle of the antenna.

Cleaning

•Disconnect the power to the unit before cleaning.

•Clean the outside of the scanner with a mild detergent.

•To prevent scratches, do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Be careful not to rub the LCD window.
