PRO-75 200-Channel Portable Scanner
(200-0312B) Special Features Faxback Doc. # 59444
Using the Keylock
Once you program your scanner, you can protect it from accidental program
changes by turning on the keylock feature. When the keypad is locked, the
only controls that operate are MAN, SCAN, LIGHT (see "Using the Display
Backlight" below), VOLUME, and SQUELCH.
Note: The keylock does not prevent the scanner from scanning channels or
monitoring a single channel, whichever feature you last selected.
To turn on the keylock, hold down (key symbol) for about 3 seconds until
(key symbol) appears and the scanner beeps three times. To turn it off,
hold down (key symbol) for about 3 seconds until (key symbol) disappears
and the scanner beeps 3 times.
Locking out Channels and Frequencies
You can increase the effective scanning or search speed by locking out
individual channels or frequencies that have a continuous transmission,
such as a weather channel (see "National Weather Frequencies" in Faxback
Doc. # 59452) or birdie frequency (see " Birdie Frequencies" in Faxback
Doc. # 59452).
Locking Out Channels
To lock out a channel while scanning, press and release L/O/L/O RVW when
the scanner stops on the channel.
To lock out a channel manually, select the channel then press and release
L/O/L/O RVW until L/O appears on the display.
To remove the lock-out from a channel, select that channel again, then
press L/O/L/O RVW so L/O disappears from the display.
Notes: Your scanner automatically locks out empty channels.
You can still manually select locked-out channels.
Locking Out Frequencies
To lock out a frequency during a bank or a direct search, press L/O/L/O
RVW when the scanner stops on the frequency. The scanner locks out the
frequency then continues searching. You can lock out frequencies in both
direct and bank searches.
Note: You can lock out as many as 50 frequencies during a search. If you
try to lock out more, FLo FULL appears on the display (see
"Reviewing Locked Out Frequencies" and "Removing All Lockout Tags
From Frequencies," below).
Reviewing Locked-Out Frequencies
To review the frequencies you locked-out, hold down L/O/L/O RVW at least
2 seconds during a search. L-r appears. As you press /\ or \/, the
scanner displays all locked out frequencies. When you reach the highest
frequency, the scanner beeps twice and returns to the lowest locked-out
frequency.
Removing All Lockout Tags From Frequencies
1. Start a band or direct search. See "Using Direct Search" in Faxback
Doc. # 59443.
2. To review the frequencies you locked out, hold down L/O/L/O RVW for
about 2 seconds during the search. L-r appears on the display.
3. Hold down MON/CL then L/O/L/O/ RVW. FLo ALL-CL appears on the display.
4. Press ENTER to clear all the lockout frequencies. The frequency clears
and 000.0000 appears. If you do not want to clear lockout tags, press
MON/CL continue reviewing all the lockout frequencies.
Removing Lockout Tags from Frequencies in All Service Banks
1. Start a band or direct search. See "Using Direct Search" in Faxback
Doc. # 59443.
2. To review the frequencies you locked out, hold down L/O/L/O RVW for
about 2 seconds during the search. L-r appears on the display.
3. Hold down MON/CL then press BAND. dEFAULt appears on the display.
4. Press ENTER to clear the lockout frequencies in all the service banks
(except weather bank). If you do not want to clear the lockout tags,
press MON/CL to continue reviewing the lockout frequencies in the
service banks.
Using the Delay Function
Many agencies use a two-way radio system that has a period of several
seconds between a query and a reply. To avoid missing a reply, you can
program a 2-second delay into any channel or frequency. When your scanner
stops on a channel or frequency with a programmed delay, DLY appears and
the scanner continues to monitor that frequency for 2 seconds after the
transmission stops before resuming scanning or searching.
You can program a 2-second delay in any of these ways:
If the scanner is scanning and stops on an active channel, quickly press
DELAY before it continues scanning again.
If the desired channel is not selected, manually select the channel,
then press DELAY.
If the scanner is searching, press DELAY. DLY appears and the scanner
automatically adds a 2-second delay to every transmission it stops on in
that band.
To turn off the 2-second delay press DELAY while the scanner is monitoring
the channel or frequency. DLY disappears from the display.
Using the Display Backlight
You can turn on the display's backlight for easy viewing in the dark.
Press LIGHT to turn on the display light for 5 seconds. To turn off the
light before 5 seconds elapse, press LIGHT again.
Listening to the Weather Bank
The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) has allocated 11 channels for
use by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). NOAA
broadcasts your local forecast and regional weather information on one or
more of these channels. We have programmed your scanner with seven of the
U.S. frequencies most commonly used by NOAA.
To hear your local forecast and regional weather information, press BAND
until WX appears. Your scanner begins to scan through the weather band.
To reverse the scanning direction, press /\ or \/.
Your scanner should stop within a few seconds on your local weather
broadcast. If the broadcast is weak, you can press /\ or \/ again to
resume scanning.
Note: To manually select a preprogrammed weather channel, you can:
Hold down /\ or \/ for about 1 second until MAN appears on the
display, then repeatedly press /\ or \/ to move forward or
backward through the channels.
Press the number (1-7) of the channel you want to listen to.
To resume scanning, hold down /\ or \/ for about 1 second until SCAN
appears.
Turning the Key Tone On and Off
The scanner is preset to sound a tone each time you press one of its keys.
You can turn the key tone off or back on.
1. If the scanner is on, turn VOLUME counterclockwise until it clicks to
turn it off.
2. While you hold down 2 and ENTER, turn on the scanner.
3. After about 1 second release 2 and ENTER.
