3. Use the number keys and DLY/. to enter the frequency
(including the decimal point) you want to store into that chan-
nel.
4. Press E to store the frequency.
Notes:
· If you entered an invalid frequency in Step 3, Error appears,
the channel number flashes, and the scanner beeps three
times after you press E. Simply repeat Steps 3 and 4.
· Your scanner automatically rounds the entered frequency
down to the nearest valid frequency. For example, if you enter
a frequency of 151.4730, your scanner accepts it as 151.4700.
· If you entered a frequency that is already stored in another
channel, dUPL (duplicate) and the lowest-numbered channel
containing the duplicate frequency flash for about 3 seconds.
To store the frequency anyway, press E again.
5. Repeat Steps 2-4 to store more frequencies into channels.
Band Search
If you do not know of a frequency to store, you can search
your scanner’s preprogrammed search bands (see “Search
Bands”) for active frequencies, then store any that you find into
your scanner’s channels.
Follow these steps to search for and store active frequencies
using band search.
1. Press BAND. The last selected band number (B followed by
the band number) and the frequency search range appear for
about 2 seconds.
2. To select a different band within 2 seconds, enter the band’s
number (0-9) or repeatedly press BAND until the desired band
number appears.
After about 2 seconds, SRCH Up appears, the next available
channel flashes, and the scanner begins searching rapidly
upward in that band (from lowest to highest frequency) for an
active frequency.
Notes:
· To reverse the search direction at any time, hold down the
Down key for about 1 second.
· To search the band upward or downward in small increments
(in steps or 5 of 12.5 kHz, depending on the band), repeatedly
press and release Up or Down.
The scanner stops when it finds an active frequency.
3. To store the displayed frequency in the channel currently
flashing on the display, press E. The scanner stores the fre-
quency, then the next available channel flashes and continue
the search.
