Monitor Memory
The scanner also has a monitor memory that you can use to
temporarily store a frequency while you decide whether to
save it into a channel. This is handy for quickly storing an acti-
ve frequency when you are searching through an entire band
using direct search. See “Direct Search”.
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 clockwise until it clicks and you hear a his-
sing sound.
3. Turn SQUELCH clockwise until the hissing sound stops.
Notes:
· If the scanner picks up unwanted, partial, or very weak trans-
missions, 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.
· If SQUELCH is adjusted so you always hear a hissing sound,
the scanner does not scan properly.
· If you have not stored frequencies into any channels, the
scanner does not scan.
STORING ACTIVE FREQUENCIES
You can manually store frequencies you already know into the
scanner’s channels. You can also store frequencies you found
using band search directly into channels. You can also store a
frequency into a monitor memory then store it into a channel.
If you do not have a reference to frequencies in your area, fol-
low the steps in “Band Search” or “Direct Search” to search for
transmissions.
Manually Storing Frequencies
If you know a frequency you want to store, you can store it
manually.
1. Press PGM. PGM appears.
2. Use the number keys to enter the channel number where
you want to store the frequency (1-50), then press PGM again.
Or, repeatedly press PGM until the desired channel number
appears.
