Browsing Objects

The 5-way pushbutton pad makes it easy for you to browse the 
stored objects in your PSR-500 when in Manual or Program 
modes. Press 

MAN

 or 

PGM

, then use the 



 keys on the 

5-way pushbutton pad to move around in the scanner

ʼ

s memory 

as follows:

:

navigates “up” through the objects assigned to the 

current Scan List

:

navigates “down” through the objects assigned to the 

current Scan List

navigates “up” through the active Scan Lists in the radio

:

navigates “down” through the active Scan Lists in the radio

Advanced Startup Topics

Congratulations! Now that you have mastered the creation of 
Scannable Objects and how to monitor them using Scan and 
Manual Mode, you can move on to some more advanced startup 
topics. 

This Advanced Startup Topics section of this manual will provide 
you with more basic information about how you can create other 
types of Scannable Objects, and how you can group your
