Backlight and Power
LCD Back Light – Makes the display easy to see in dim
light. You can adjust the back light so it turns on when you
press a key, when squelch breaks during a transmission,
or manually.
Low Battery Alert – The scanner alerts you if the
batteries need to be recharged or replaced.
Battery Save – You can set the scanner so it reduces the
amount of power it needs if there are no transmissions.
Key Controls
Key Lock – You can deactivate the scanner’s keys to help
prevent accidentally changing the scanner’s programming.
Key Beep – You can control whether the scanner beeps
when you press a key.
PC Control and Cloning
PC Control – You can transfer programming data to and
from your scanner and your personal computer, and
control the scanner using a computer. This helps you find

including the contents of the scanner’s memory, menu
settings, and other parameters from one SC230
scanner to another SC230 scanner.

over the air from one SC230 scanner to another SC230
scanner using a personal computer and a radio transmitter.
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
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.
