Uniden BC296D manual

•To quickly program a series of channels, start with the low- est-numbered channel. The scanner automatically advances to the next channel by default when you complete programming a channel.

•Make a programming plan before you sit down to program your scanner. Write down what frequency you will store in each channel, along with other system information. Or, use the supplied software to organize your information before you start. Keep a record of what you programmed in case you lose programming. This lets you more quickly program the scanner the next time.

•Entered frequencies are rounded off according to the step size for the channel.

•When you store a new frequency in a channel, the text tag previously assigned to that channel is deleted.
