Your scanner has the following preprogrammed service banks.

POLICE — contains 1,079 police frequencies.

FIRE/EMG — contains 280 fire and emergency ser- vice frequencies.

AIR — contains 2,319 aircraft and air service fre- quencies.

MRN contains 65 marine frequencies.

WX — contains 7 weather frequencies.

To select a service bank, press SVC. A service bank’s name (POLICE, FIRE/EMG, AIR, MRN, or WX) and one of the preset police frequencies appear. After a 2- second delay, scanning begins. To select another ser- vice bank, repeatedly press SVC until the scanner dis- plays the name of the bank you want to use.

Notes:

In the marine band, the active frequency and its marine channel number alternately appear.

To skip data signals (such as modem signals), press DATA. See “Skipping Data Signals” on Page 31.

Because frequencies are not always assigned to the same services everywhere, you might hear transmis- sions from one service in another service group.

If necessary, press SCAN to start scanning immediately or to continue scanning if you want to skip a frequency.

During service-scan, you can press HOLD to pause the scanning. HOLD appears. Press s or t to move up or down one step, or press SCAN to resume scanning.

Follow these steps to store frequencies into channels.

1.Press MANUAL. HOLD appears.

2.Use the number keys to enter the channel number (1–300) where you want to store the frequency, then press MANUAL.

3.Press SVC to select a service bank and begin scanning.

4.When the scanner stops on a transmission, press HOLD. The frequency appears.

5.Press E to store the frequency into the channel.
