The upper and lower scan limits have now been programmed. To activate the scan feature, return the radio to manual operation
and press the button. If the display shows ‘SCAN the radio will scan from the lower limit to the upper limit. If “SCAN -‘
is displayed, the unit will scan from the upper limit to the lower limit. To change from SCAN + to SCAN - or vice versa, press
.
NOTE: When programmed, the upper and lower scan limits will also act as the upper and lower operating limits of the radio. The
radio cannot now be programmed to operate above or below the scan limits.
Memory Scanning
The RCI-295012970 has 10 non-volatile (i.e* memory resident) memory locations which can be programmed with any available
frequency within the operating band of the radio. The scan function of the unit can be programmed to scan these memory
channels. The radio will then scan only those memory channels which have been programmed.
The first step in utilizing the memory scan function is to program the desired frequencies into the radio memory. This can be
accomplished by performing the following steps:
1. With the radio operating in the manual mode, press the (Program) key.
2. Press the (Memory) key. “PRG” should be displayed in the lower right-hand corner of the LCD display window. In
the upper left portion of the display, “MEMORY” should be displayed. Directly below MEMORY, a number between 0 and 9 will be
displayed. This number represents the memory location currently being displayed. Pressing the key will increase the
memory counter to the next memory location and the contents of that memory location will be displayed.
3. Using the key and the and arrows, enter the frequency to be stored in the memory
location displayed. After the desired frequency has been entered, press .
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for all of the memory locations to be programmed.
5. After all desired memory locations have been programmed with frequencies, return the unit to the manual mode of operation by
pressing the key.
6. To initiate memory scanning, press and then press . As previously discussed, the display will show
“SCAN + “ or “SCAN -“ to indicate whether the radi0 is scanning from the lowest or the highest merory location or vice versa.
