If you forget the password
If you forget your password, you must initialize the scanner to be
able to operate it. This operation will result in the clearing of your
programmed data and the loss of any custom changes you have
made to the radio’s global parameters. See “Initializing the Scanner to
Factory Defaults” on page 92.
Birdie Frequencies
Every scanner has birdie frequencies. Birdies are signals created inside
the scanner’s receiver, which may interfere with transmissions on the
same frequencies. If you program one of these frequencies, you hear
only noise on that frequency. If the interference is not severe, you
might be able to turn Sqelch clockwise to omit the birdie.
To find the birdies in your scanner, disconnect the antenna and
moving it away from the scanner. Make sure that no other nearby
radio or TV sets are turned on near the scanner. Use the Tune
function and scan every frequency range from its lowest frequency to
the highest. Occasionally, the searching will stop as if it had found a
signal, often without any sound. This is a birdie. Make a list of all the
birdies in your scanner for future reference.

to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is connected.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Scanning Legally
Your scanner covers frequencies used by many different groups
including police and fire departments, ambulance services,
government agencies, private companies, amateur radio services,
military operations, pager services, and wireline (telephone and
telegraph) service providers. It is legal to listen to almost every
transmission your scanner can receive. However, there are some
transmissions you should never intentionally listen to. These include:
• Telephone conversations (cellular, cordless, or other private
means of telephone signal transmission)
