Make sure the scanner's antenna is connected before you turn it on.
1. Turn SQUELCH MIN/MAX fully counterclockwise.
2. Turn VOLUME OFF/MAX clockwise until it clicks and you hear a hissing
sound.
3. Turn SQUELCH MIN/MAX clockwise, then leave it set to a point just
after the hissing sound stops.
If the scanner automatically starts scanning channels, press MANUAL
to stop scanning.
Notes:
If you hear not stored frequencies into any channels, the scanner
does not scan.
If the scanner picks up unwanted, partial, or very weak transmissions,
turn SQUELCH MIN/MAX clockwise to decrease the scanner's sensitivity
to these signals. If you want to listen to a weak or distant station,
turn SQUELCH MIN/MAX counterclockwise.
If SQUELCH MIN/MAX is adjusted so you always hear a hissing sound,
the scanner does not scan properly.
STORING ACTIVE FREQUENCIES
You can store frequencies into channels using any of these methods:
Manual storage
Auto storage
Band, limit, or direct search
Good references for active frequencies are Radio Shack's "Police Call
Radio guide Including Fire and Emergency Services," "Aeronautical
Frequency Directory," and "Maritime Frequency Directory." We update these
directories every year, so be sure to get a current copy.
See also "Guide to Action Bands," Faxback Doc. # 38257.
If you do not have a reference to frequencies in your area, follow the
steps in "Automatically Storing Frequencies," "Band Search," "Limit
Search," or "Direct Search from the Displayed Frequency," below to search
for transmissions.
Manually Storing Frequencies
If you know a frequency you want to store, you can store it manually.
1. Press PGM. PGM appears.
2. Use the number keys to enter the channel number where you want to
store the frequency, then press PGM again.
