(200-0461) Understanding Your Scanner Faxback Doc. # 37890
A LOOK AT THE KEYBOARD
A quick glance at this section should help you understand each key's
function.
Scan - scans through the programmed
channels.
MANUAL - stops scanning to let you
directly enter a channel number.
LOCK OUT - lets you lock out selected
channels.
DELAY - programs a 2-second delay for
the selected channel.
LIMIT - sets the frequency range you
want to search.
Up and Down Arrow - search up or down from the
currently displayed frequency.
MONITOR - accesses the 10 monitor
memories.
AM/FM - switches the scanner to the
AM or FM mode.
PRIORITY - sets and turns on and off the
priority feature for a
particular channel.
CLEAR - clears an incorrect entry.
PROGRAM - programs frequencies into
channels.
Number Keys - each key has a single digit
label and a range of numbers
above it. Use the digits on the
keys to enter the numbers for a
channel or a frequency. Use the
range of numbers above the key
(61-80, for example) to select
the channels in a channel-stor-
age bank.
. - enters a decimal point when you
enter a frequency.
ENTER - stores a frequency in a channel.
A LOOK AT THE DISPLAY
The display has several indicators that show the scanner's current
operating mode. A quick look at the display will help you understand how
to operate your scanner.
MANUAL - appears when you manually select
a channel.
SCAN - appears when you scan channels.
SEARCH - appears during a limit search
(-L- also appears) or a direct
search (-d- also appears).
Up or Down Arrow also appear to
indicate the search direction.
PRIORITY - appears when you turn on the
priority channel feature.
P - appears when the scanner is set
to the priority channel.
MONITOR - appears when you listen to a
monitor memory.
BANK - bars to the right of this
indicator show which memory
banks are turned on for
scanning.
CH - appears with a number (1-200) to
show which of the scanner's
200 channels it is tuned to.
FM or AM - shows whether the scanner is set
to the FM or AM mode. If FM or
AM flashes, you manually
selected the mode.
DELAY - appears when the scanner stops
at a channel you programmed for
a 2-second delay.
PROGRAM - appears when you program
frequencies into the scanner's
channels.
LOCK-OUT - appears when you lock out a
channel or manually select a
locked-out channel.
UNDERSTANDING MEMORY
You can store frequencies into either a permanent memory location, called
a channel, or a temporary memory location, called a monitor memory. You
can store up to 200 channels and 10 monitor memories.
CHANNEL-STORAGE BANKS
To make it easier to identify and select the channels you listen to most
often, channels are divided into 10 channel-storage bank to group
frequencies, such as those used by the police department, fire department,
ambulance services, or aircraft.
For example, there might be three or four police departments in your area,
each using several different frequencies. Additionally, there might be
other law enforcement agencies such as state police, county sheriffs, or
SWAT teams that use their own frequencies. You could program all law
enforcement frequencies starting with Channel 1 (the first channel in
Bank 1), then program the fire department, paramedic, and other public
safety frequencies starting with Channel 21 (the first channel in Bank 2).
MONITOR MEMORIES
The scanner also has 10 monitor memories. You can use these memories to
temporarily store frequencies while you decide whether or not to save them
in channels. This is handy for quickly storing an active frequency when
you search through an entire band.
Notes:
To store a frequency into a monitor memory, you must perform a limit
or direct search.
You can select monitor memories manually, but you cannot scan them.
