Your scanner contains groups of preset frequencies called One Touch Banks. Each one touch bank is associated with a specific activity (see “One Touch Banks” on Page 12).

You can search for marine, fire/police, air, ham, and weather transmissions even if you do not know the specific frequencies that are used in your area. ±

The fire/police and ham one touch banks have separate groups of frequencies called sub-banks. This lets you search for and select only those frequencies that fall within a specific range within the fire/police and ham one touch banks.

To listen to the marine bank, see “Listening to the Marine Bank” on Page 19. To listen to the weather bank, see “Listening to the Weather Band” on Page 19.

1.Press FD/PD, AIR, or HAM. <?h;ýFeB?9;, 7?h, or >7C

appears. After about 2 seconds, the scanner starts searching. ±

2.When the scanner finds an active frequency, it stops searching and displays the frequency's number.

3.To search for another active frequency in the selected band, hold down H or G for about 1 second. To search for an active frequency within a sub-band of the fire/ police or ham band, press a number key to select the sub-band you want. To select a different band and search for another active frequency, repeat Steps 1 and 2.

Once you find interesting frequencies during the search, you can store them into the scanner’s channel-storage banks. Frequencies found in the one touch banks are automatically assigned to specific channel-storage banks as shown below. You can quickly scan the channel-storage banks corresponding to the one touch banks by pressing a one touch bank key and SCAN/MAN successively.
