About This Manual
The screen displays used in this manual are representations of what might appear
when you use your scanner. Since what you see depends on the frequencies and
user IDs for your area and the settings you select, you might notice some
differences between what is in this manual and what appears on your scanner.
To get the most from this manual, review the contents to become familiar with the
basic functions available. If you are new to scanning or trunk tracking, start with
the following short introduction to scanning and follow-up with the enclosed
reprinted article on Programming provided with the courtesy of Popular
Communications magazine.
Using the Scroll Control [FUNC]
The Scroll Control is a dual purpose control. It also lets you switch to secondary
function operations. When used in this manner, you see
F in this manual. Located
prominently on the right of the BCD996T’s front panel, the knob/switch lets you
easily control channel selection, plus Normal and Function Modes, as well as how
most of the information appears on the display.
To adjust menu settings, change channels in Hold mode, and resume
scanning: Simply turn the Scroll Control.
To use
F tap the Scroll Control. This action is written in shorthand as F which is
fully explained in the next section. When you tap the control f appears and
remains in the upper left corner of the display for 3 seconds. During this time,
press any button to access the button’s second function. Or, press and hold the
Scroll Control for 2 seconds. The scanner beeps, and the function is “latched” so
that is does not return to normal mode until you tap the Scroll Control again. f
flashes at approximately 1 second intervals.
If you select Function while scanning, the BCD996T continues to scan, but holds
on the current system until the function operation is cancelled.
