Power Save Circuit
Your scanner features a power
save circuit that is automatically
activated any time you manually
select a channel or car number
frequency. The power save mode
works by allowing the receiver to
"sleep" briefly while waiting for a
call on the selected channel.
USING CTCSS
When your scanner stops on a
frequency that is configured for
CTCSS, it checks for a match
between the transmitted CTCSS
(quiet) code and the code that is
stored with the channel memory. If
the transmitted and stored codes
match, the scanner stops on the
transmission and allows the audio
to pass to the speaker. If the
codes do not match, the scanner
resumes scan operation. If the
special "search" code is in use, the
scanner will instantly display any
detected CTCSS mode. You can
store the detected code into the
channel memory by pressing
ENT
while the code is displayed.
PROGRAMMING
CHANNELS FOR CTCSS
CTCSS allows you to program
frequencies into your scanner that
are used by more than one group
in your area and listen only to the
group that is of interest to you by
specifying the group’s specific
CTCSS code. CTCSS can also
help reduce instances where
interfering signals cause your
scanner to stop on one channel.
