Context sensitive help is available for every menu parameter. Press
FUNC SEL to view help for the selected parameter. Press SEL to exit
help.
Each menu parameter includes a Dflt softkey, which restores
the factory default setting for that parameter.
GLOB Menu
The GLOB menu stores all of the radio-wide settings used by the
scanner. The active parameter is always the middle parameter and is
indicated by a flashing colon (:).
Notes:
Some GLOB parameter changes do not take effect until the
GLOB menu is saved.
You can restore all GLOB settings to their defaults
without affecting
your programmed objects or V-Scanners. Power cycle the radio,
then press 0, then 2 during the welcome message display.
Press
ENT to confirm the GLOB parameter reset.
The Special Global menu (FUNC GLOB)
includes parameter
settings that may adversely affect the performance of your radio if
not set properly. We recommend that users not change the settings
found in the FUNC GLOB menu without specific instructions.
Should you experience difficulties after changing any of these
settings, you can restore them to factory defaults by pressing the
Dflt softkey associated with each menu line, or follow the global
reset procedure described above. See the product support page for
this scanner on www.RadioShack.com for detailed information on
the FUNC GLOB menu.

individual object attenuator setting.
Global Atten On or Off When the Atten mode is set to Global, this
controls whether the Global attenuator is
on or off.
