Introduction Your scanner radio is a multi-featured conventional channel scanner. You can easily enter and store frequencies for police, fire/emergency, marine, air, amateur, and other radio services into 300 channels distributed over ten banks.
Features Channel Memory Scanning — Scans frequencies you have stored in any of the channels or banks at a rate of 50 channels per second. Memory Availability — Store and then scan any of up to 300 channels distributed over 10 banks. Direct Channel Access — Press 0 − 9 and HOLD to directly access any stored frequency. Channel Lockout/Frequency Lockout — Skip over stored frequencies (channels) using the Lockout feature to enable faster scanning.
Clock Display — the scanner, in standby mode, displays the time. The clock also features an alarm that can sound up to 20 minutes or be shut off manually. A convenient snooze button lets you silence the alarm for an extra 5-minutes. Delay — you can enable or disable the 2-second delay to resume scanning when a transmission ends. Enabling this feature helps prevent missing a response from one of the parties in the transmission. LCD Backlight — you can enable or disable the LCD back lighted display.

1 VOLUME Control — lets you raise or lower the level of the sound. 2 Squelch Control — lets you set the signal level required to receive a transmission. If you open the squelch all the way, you will hear hissing between transmissions. This lets you hear weak signals, but prevents scanning. As you close squelch, a stronger signal is required to stop scanning and open audio. You normally set the control to a point just where hissing on all channels stops between transmissions.
SEARCH/AM — In Scanner mode press to start a Limit Search or to resume searching. In AM/FM mode, press to select the AM memory bank. 13 L/O/FM1 — In Scanner mode, press to lock or unlock a channel memory in SCAN (HOLD) or PROGRAM mode. In Search mode, press to set or clear a selected frequency previously locked out in the LIMIT SEARCH. In AM/FM mode, press to select the FM1 memory bank. 14 DELAY/FM2 — In Scanner mode, press to turn the delay option on/off.

Setting Up The Scanner These guidelines will help you install and use your new scanner: • If your scanner receives interference or electrical noise, move the scanner or its antenna away from the source. You might also try changing the height or angle of the antennas. • Use an optional mono earphone or mono headset with proper impedance for private listening. • Do not use the scanner in high-moisture environments such as in the kitchen or bathroom.
Note that the batteries are intended to provide backup power for the clock and for scanning for a short time. When the backup batteries becomes too low, appears. Promptly replace the batteries. When you either install batteries or connect the AC Adapter to a standard wall outlet, the scanner powers on and goes to STANDBY mode. The display shows the initial clock time of 0:00. The scanner remains in STANDBY mode.
Using the Alarm Clock Your scanner’s Clock displays whenever you turn off the radio functions. It can also be used as a standard alarm clock. Setting the Current Time Follow the steps to set the current time: 1. Move the slide switch to Clock Set. The hour digits flash. 2. Press ▲ or ▼ to change the hour by one hour increments/decrements or press the number keys to select the present hour. Then press E/PGM to set the hour. The minutes digits flash. 3.
To have the scanner radio alert you at the selected time, slide Off/Radio/Tone to either Radio or Tone. If you set the selector to Radio, the alarm will sound with the selected audio source (AM/FM, Scanner, or Aircraft). If you set the selector to Tone, the scanner will sound a tone at the set time. To silence the alarm, slide Off/Radio/Tone to Off. If you do not turn off the alarm, it will sound for 20 minutes, then reset to alert you again the following day.
Listening to AM/FM Channels To listen to AM/FM channels, slide the mode selector to AM/FM. Then, press the button at the top of the scanner to select the desired source (AM for AM Broadcast, FM1 or FM2 for FM Broadcast). Directly Selecting a Channel Press STEP/DIR to select the direct entry mode. Use the ▲/▼ buttons to step through the selected band. The scanner stops on active channels. You can also enter the channel frequency using the keypad, enter the channel frequency (for FM or AM) and press E.
Using the Scanner Memories Your scanner has 300 memories you can store frequencies into for scanning. The memories are arranged in 10 banks of 30 memories each. While scanning, you can quickly select which bank to scan by pressing the number button that corresponds to the bank you want to turn on or off for scanning. To select the scanner mode, slide the mode switch to Scanner. Programming Memories You will first need to determine the frequencies you want to program.

Notes: • Any frequency you program replaces the previous memory contents. • If you enter a frequency you have already stored in a different memory in Step 3, the scanner beeps and displays the channel where you have previously stored the frequency. If you want to store the frequency anyway, press E/PGM a second time in Step 3. • To clear the contents of a memory, enter “0” in Step 3.
Using Priority Scan You can set one memory in each bank as a priority memory. If you turn on the Priority feature, the scanner will check the priority memories in enabled banks every 2 seconds, even if it has stopped on a transmission on another memory. To set the memory in a bank to be the priority memory, manually select the memory then, while holding on the memory, press E/PGM to put the scanner in program mode and press PRI.
Searching for Active Frequencies Many people enjoy searching for the unknown frequencies that are in use in their area but are not posted to any site or in any publication. This scanner radio has two ways to search: Limit searching that searches between two set frequencies and Aircraft Band Search. Using Limit Search Programming an Upper/Lower Limit Follow these steps to program an Upper and Lower limit for the limit search: 1. Press SEARCH then HOLD. The scanner holds on the current search frequency. 2.
The scanner keeps receiving the current frequency in aircraft search hold mode regardless of existence of transmissions. However if there is no transmission, the speaker is muted. By pressing HOLD in aircraft search mode, searching stops and the scanner goes to aircraft search hold mode. In this mode pressing ▼ changes search direction to downward and pressing ▲ changes search direction to upward.
Select Step Operation The user can change the steps of each band in select step menu when MODE switch is moved to “Aircraft” or “Scanner”. Follows are optional band and step. 25 - 29 30 – 79 80 – 82 83 – 87 108 – 136 137 – 138 138 – 157 158 – 160 160 – 162 162 – 173 406 – 439 440 – 465 466 – 469 470 – 512 806 – 960 5 / 6.25 / 8.33 / 10 / 12.5 / 15 / 20 / 25 / 50 / 100 5 / 6.25 / 8.33 / 10 / 12.5 / 15 / 20 / 25 / 50 / 100 5 / 6.25 / 8.33 / 10 / 12.5 / 15 / 20 / 25 / 50 / 100 5 / 6.25 / 8.33 / 10 / 12.
STEP 3: Press STEP, and then press ▲, ▼ to change the step and decide it. Holding ▲ or ▼ to change the step continuously. By pressing CLR, you can change the step into previous step that goes to step menu. STEP 4: Press ENT to go to previous mode. Or wait for 5 seconds to return to the mode you were in. Press SCAN to go to scan mode. Press SEARCH to go to search mode. Move the MODE slide switch to “Aircraft” to go to Aircraft (Hold) mode. Move the MODE slide switch to “AM/FM” to go to AM/FM radio mode.
Care and Maintenance General Use • Turn the scanner off before disconnecting the power. • If memory is lost, simply reprogram each channel. • Always press each button firmly until you hear the entry tone for that key entry. Location • Do not use the scanner in high-moisture environments such as the kitchen or bathroom. • Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight or near heating elements or vents.
