Getting Started
First Time Startup
We believe that your new 0715 is so easy to use that scannists
with at least some experience in the hobby should be able to get
up and running in a matter of just a few minutes. If you already
know the difference between a conventional channel and a
talkgroup, or a search range and a Spectrum Sweeper, we invite
you to dive right in and set the radio up to begin scanning your
first objects. If you get stuck, you can refer to this Getting Started
section, or see the relevant sections in the Detailed Menu
Reference. Otherwise, please read on and allow us to help you
get acquainted to your new scanner!
Unpack the radio
Unpack your radio carefully. Save all documentation and packing
materials in case it is necessary to return your scanner for repair.
Insert the batteries
Remove the door covering the battery compartment by pressing
gently where the door is marked
OPEN
and sliding the door
downwards until it stops, approximately 1/4”. Lift the door away
from the radio. Remove the supplied battery holder. Insert four
AA batteries into the holder, taking care to ensure that the
batteries are inserted according to the diagram shown inside of
the holder assembly. Insert the holder into the battery
compartment, then replace the battery compartment door by
placing it back over the batteries and sliding it upward gently until
it locks in place.
NOTE: Two battery holders are included with your 0715. The black battery
holder should be used with non-rechargeable alkaline batteries. The
yellow battery holder should be used with rechargeable NiMH or
NiCAD batteries. The radio will charge the batteries when the yellow
holder is used in conjunction with an approved AC adapter.
WARNING: Never place non-rechargeable batteries in the yellow holder.
Intentionally or accidentally recharging non-rechargeable
batteries will cause them to leak or explode.
