OPERATION

TURNING ON THE SCANNER/SETTING VOLUME AND SQUELCH

Note: Make sure the scanner's antenna is connected before you turn it on.

1. Turn SQUELCH fully counterclockwise.

2. Turn VOLUME OFF/MAX clockwise until it clicks and you hear a hissing sound.

3. Turn SQUELCH clockwise, then leave it set to a point just after the hissing sound
stops.

The scanner automatically starts scanning channels. Press MANUAL to stop
scanning.

Notes:

l

 If you have not stored frequencies into any channels (see "Searching For and

Storing Active Frequencies" on Page 13), the scanner does not scan.

l

 If the scanner picks up unwanted, partial, or very weak transmissions, turn

SQUELCH clockwise to decrease the scanner's sensitivity to these signals. If you
want to listen to a weak or distant station, turn SQUELCH counterclockwise.

l

 If SQUELCH is adjusted so you always hear a hissing sound, the scanner does

not scan properly.

USING THE ROTARY TUNER

The scanner's rotary tuner lets you quickly select channels and frequencies
manually. As you turn TUNE one click, the channel or frequency changes one step at
a time.

Notes:

l

 If you quickly turn TUNE, the rate at which the scanner tunes through the

channels or frequencies becomes faster.

l

 If you turn TUNE too slowly, the scanner might accidentally change the search or

scan direction.

Tuning Channel Numbers

To tune channel numbers, press MAN, then turn TUNE clockwise (to tune to higher
channel numbers) or counterclockwise (to tune to lower channel numbers).
