USING THE ATTENUATOR
To reduce interference or noise caused by
strong signals, you can reduce the scanner's
sensitivity to these signals.
There are two attenuator modes in your
scanner. In normal attenuator mode, you set
the attenuator in each channel or each band/
group in the search and tune mode. In global
mode, you set the attenuator only once. The
global setting affects every mode.
Press
ATT
to turn on or off the attenuator
while the channel number is indicated, or
while the scanner is searching through
bands/groups. When the attenuator is on,
