Preprogrammed Systems
Your scanner is preprogrammed with over 400 channels covering police, fire, and ambulance operations in the 25 most populated counties in the US. The following list details the preprogrammed information.
By default, all of the preprogrammed systems are unlocked, and your scanner begins to scan them when you turn it on. To speed up scanning, you can lock out systems that are beyond your reception area (typically no more than 25 miles using the supplied antenna).
Follow these steps to lock out systems:.
1. Press and hold
Func
.
2.While continuing to hold Func , rotate the scroll control to select a system you want to lock out.
3.While continuing to hold out the system.
Func
, press L/O to lock
4.Repeat Steps 2, 3, and 4 to lock out additional systems.
The preprogrammed systems provide a starting point; you will want to find out more information about your local radio systems so you can customize the pro- gramming to better suit your listening preferences.
Notes:
•You might hear transmissions on frequencies assigned to very distant stations. This will happen if a local system also uses the same frequency. Disregard the text tag for these transmissions (e.g. if you are in California, you aren’t really receiving Florida transmissions even if the scanner displays Dade County).
•To free up memory, you can delete systems that you will not be monitoring. Refer to “Deleting Sys- tems” on Page 81.
