Radio Shack PRO-2045 Using Auto Sort, Skipping Data Signals, Turning on or OFF the KEY Tone

USING AUTO SORT

You can set the scanner to scan within each bank from the channel with the lowest frequency to the channel with the highest frequency, instead of in channel number order. This makes the scanner scan faster.

Follow these steps to turn on auto sort.

1.Turn off the scanner.

2.Press and hold AUTO, then turn on the scanner. on Sort appears for 3 seconds. During scanning, AUTO appears.

To turn off auto sort, repeat these steps. OFF Sort appears for 3 sec- onds.

SKIPPING DATA

SIGNALS

You can set the scanner to skip non- modulated or data signals (such as control signals for pagers or trunked systems) when searching or scanning.

Note: This feature does not work in the AM mode (see “Changing the Modulation Mode” on Page 28). Also, the scanner might not skip data sig- nals that have varied patterns of paus- es and frequencies.

To skip data signals, press DATA until DATA appears. To turn off data skip, press DATA until DATA disappears.

TURNING ON OR OFF THE KEY TONE

Your scanner beeps each time you press a key. Follow these steps to turn off the key tone beep.

1.Turn off the scanner.

2.Press and hold LOCKOUT, then turn on the scanner. OFF bEEP appears.

To turn on the beep, repeat these steps. on bEEP appears.

CHANGING THE MODULATION MODE

Your scanner receives amplitude modulated (AM) or narrow-band fre- quency modulated (NFM) transmis- sions and selects the mode most commonly used in each frequency range. However, you can manually change the mode while the scanner is searching for frequencies or scanning channels. The selected mode flashes if it is not the default.

To change the modulation mode, press MODE until the desired modula- tion mode (AM or FM) flashes on the display.

To return to the default modulation mode, press MODE until the mode no longer flashes.
