! IMPORTANT !

Initializing the scanner clears all information you stored in the scanner’s memory. Initialize the scanner only when you are sure.

Ô NOTES Ô

•The scanner will not enter scan mode if there are no frequencies stored in channels, or if all channels are locked out in the channel storage bank(s) that you are attempting to scan. In either of these cases, the scanner will display

All channels Locked out!. See “Storing Frequencies Into Channels” on Page 30

•If SQ is adjusted so you always hear a rushing sound, the scanner will not scan properly. Rotate the SQ control until the rushing sound stops.

•If SQ is adjusted precisely at the threshold where the rushing sound stops, the radio will be most sensitive to very weak signals. The radio may also receive unwanted noise or signals that are too weak to understand. Most users prefer to position the SQ control a little bit past the point of threshold to avoid receiving noise or signals that are too weak to understand.

INITIALIZING THE

SCANNER

If you want to clear all the scanner’s memory, initialize the scanner.!

1.Press and hold FUNC for about 2 seconds.

2.Press 8, 5, and then ENT.

Do not turn off the scanner until the initialization is complete.

SCANNING

CHANNELS

1.Set the scanner to the

conventional channel mode so MAN, Bank, and a frequency appear by pressing FUNC then CAR.

2.Turn SQ fully counterclockwise and adjust VOL to a comfortable level.

3.Turn SQ clockwise until the rushing sound stops.

To begin scanning channels or to start scanning again after monitoring a specific channel, press SCAN.Ô

To change the scanning direction, press ^ or v while scanning.

To restart scanning while the scanner is in stop mode, press ^ or v.

The scanner scans through all channels (except those you have locked out) in the active channel storage banks (see “Turning
