5. Turn SQUELCH back counter-clockwise just until the hiss
stops. Now the “Squelch Gate” allows only clear signals
through.
Note: For Trunk Scanning, a good squelch setting is critical.
The recommended setting is midpoint. If you set the
squelch too high, the scanner might not reliably stop
on the control channel.
Using the Menu
Many of your scanner’s functions are accessed through its
menu system. For complete information about a menu option,
see the section referencing its use. A complete list of the
menu structure is included in the back of this manual. To
select a menu item, first press MENU/BACK to go to the first-
level menu. Then, either press the number key corresponding
to the option you want to select, or use the scroll bar to
highlight the option then press E.
To back up a menu level, press MENU/BACK.
Notes: • To change a setting that affects either a specific
bank or channel, first select a channel within the
bank or the channel that you want to modify.
• To check the settings for a channel, press and hold
MENU/BACK for 2 seconds.
In this manual, we represent navigation through the
menu with the following notation:
MAIN MENU → SUB MENU 1 → SUB MENU
2
For example to access the DIMMER LIGHT option,
the notation is:
3:SYSTEM OPTION → 1:DIMMER →
1:DIMMER LIGHT
To access this option, press MENU/BACK, then
scroll to each menu option and press E. Or, press
MENU/BACK, 3, 1, 1.
• Some menu items are not numbered. To access
these options, you must manually navigate to the
selection using the scroll bar.
Manually Selecting a Channel
To manually select a channel, press HOLD/MAN, the channel
number, then HOLD/MAN again. The scanner displays the
information stored in that channel.
Notes: • If the channel contains trunked system information,
frequency data is not displayed.
