Introduction

Using the Preprogrammed Data

3.V-Scanner folder 00 should already be selected by default, or use the S T keys to scroll to the desired location. You can save your work to an empty folder or overwrite the contents of a programmed folder.

4.Press the Stor softkey. If the folder is not empty, you are prompted to confirm the operation, which will erase the current V-Scanner folder contents. Press YES to confirm and overwrite, or NO to cancel. The scanner will display:

5.Enter a name for the V-Scanner using the Standard Text Entry Method and press OK. The scanner displays the following screen while storing the contents of working memory to the selected V-Folder:

6.Press the Cancl softkey to return to the main V-Scanner menu.

To Load a V-Scanner folder into Working Memory:

1.Press FUNC PGM (PROG) to open the V-Scanner menu.

2.Press the Load softkey.

3.Use the S T keys to select the V-Scanner folder for your location.

4.Press the Load softkey.

5.The scanner will prompt you with a warning:

Really overwrite main memory?” Press

the YES softkey to proceed, or press NO if you don’t want to erase your working memory contents. (See the previous section if you need to save your working memory.)

6.After pressing the YES softkey, the scanner loads the V-Folder (example shows Folder #3 for South Florida):

7.After the loading operation is complete, press the SCAN key. The scanner will reboot and begin scanning.

8.While the radio is scanning, turn off the Scan Lists except the one for your area. Use the

1 – 0 keys to toggle Scan lists 1-10 on and off, and FUNC 1 – FUNC 0 to toggle Scan Lists 11-20 on and off. If your were to turn off all but Scan List 5, the display would appear as follows while scanning:
