about 1 second.
Note: If an actual alert is sent, the scanner sounds the appropriate tone and displays the corresponding alert
level.
If the scanner receives a real SAME coded signal,
ALERT flashes in the display and an associated "L" code appears in
the display which indicates the severity of the alert. The scanner remains on the weather channel and the audio turns on
so you can hear the weather broadcast. The scanner displays one of the following codes to indicate the alert level:
L1: Warning
L2: Watch
L3: Statement
: Nonemergency
To verify and clear a specific alert level
(L1, L2, or L3) press E(SVC) to select the weather search mode then press
ALT(DATA).
3. Press ALT(DATA) again
to turn off the alert feature.
To hear and test the tones for the three alert levels
, press E(SVC) to select the weather service, then hold down ALT(DATA) for
about 1 second. The tones sound in the order L3, L2, then L1, and TESt flashes. Each alert code appears as its tone sounds. Press
any key to end the test sequence.

If the scanner's display locks up or stops operating properly, you might need to reset the scanner.
Note: This procedure clears all the information you have stored in the scanner. Before you reset the scanner, try turning it
off and on to see if it begins working properly. Reset the scanner only when you are sure it is not working properly
To reset the scanner,
turn off the scanner. While holding down the 2 and 9 keys, turn on the scanner. CLEAR flashes for about 5
seconds as the scanner clears its memory.
Note: Do not turn off the scanner again until CLEAR stops flashing. Otherwise, the scanner might not clear its memory
properly.

Finding EDACS LCN order
EDACS frequencies have to be programmed in LCN (Logical Channel Number) order.
I have found a procedure at the
Trunked
Radio Systems User’s Page
which explains how to find the LCN order for an EDACS system if you don't know the order. Look for
'Finding EDACS Logical Channel Numbers
'

How to tell if you have a 94, 94A, or 94B model
On the back of the scanner is the model number, 20524 (probably under the belt clip). If there is an "A" in a box next to the number,
it's a 94A. If there is a "B" in a box next to the number, it's a 94B. The basic differences are that the 94 will trunktrack or scan
conventional frequencies, not both at the same time while the 94A will. The 94B is essentially the same as a 94A with the ability to
be computer programmed and controlled. If you have the 94A or 94B, see my manual for those

How to view these pages in your browsers
I have formatted these pages so that you can view them with any monitor, in any browser (Opera, I.E., or Netscape), at any zoom
level, and in any screen area size (ex: 600x800)small or large fonts. So if the print is too small, go to the 'view' menu in your
browser and adjust it to a bigger level (or smaller if you want to see more on the screen).

If you don’t know which fleet map to use, you could try selecting the preset fleet maps that are preprogrammed into your scanner,
one at a time, or you can try a method I found at Radio Reference.com.

Finding and reading the date code
The date code or date of manufacture is located on the back of the scanner (probably under the belt clip). You will see two numbers
then a "A" then two more numbers. The first two numbers are the month and the last two are the year. Ex: 04A00 is April of 2000.
