Set Modulation — Set the modulation type for the paging signal. Next choose the modulation setting:

Auto — The scanner uses the default modulation for the frequency band. If the default modulation is AM, WFM, or FMB, the modulation operates as FM.

FM — The scanner uses FM for the frequency band. This is the default setting.

NFM — The scanner uses NFM modulation.

Set Attenuator — Turn the Scroll Control to select On or Off.

Set Tone — Sets the audio tone frequency for the page. Then choose the Tone setting.

Edit Tone A — Set the audio frequency for Tone A

Edit Tone B — Set the audio frequency for Tone B

Notes:

•For two-tone pages, enter a value for A and B.

•For one-tone pages using short tones of less than 3.75 seconds, enter the tone value for A, and 0 (zero) for B.

•For long-tone pages, such as group pages of more than 3.75 seconds, enter 0 (zero) for A and the tone value for B.

Set Delay Time — Sets the time the scanner remains in monitor mode after the scanner receives a page and the carrier drops.

1-5 sec — the scanner resumes standby mode after the carrier drops and the selected time expires.

Infinite — you must press [HOLD/RESUME] after a page to resume standby mode.

Off — the scanner resumes standby as soon as the carrier drops after a page.

Set Alert — Sets the alert the scanner uses when it receives an alert.

Alert 1 - 9 — scroll to select the alert tone pattern, The scanner sounds each alert as you scroll to its numbered value

Off — the scanner does not sound an alert.

After you select an alert pattern, the scanner prompts for the alert level for a received alert. Level options 1 to 15 sets a fixed audio level independent of the main volume setting. AUTO uses the main volume setting for the alerts.
