Pro-89 200-Channel VHF/Air/UHF 800 MHz Handheld Race Scanner
(200-0514)                 Scanning Races             Faxback Doc. # 60477

Your scanner is specially designed to help you listen to communications at 
auto races.  Drivers and their pit crews and corner watchers, place car 
drivers, security officers, emergency personnel, track officials, and 
representatives of governing organizations such as NASCAR, SCCA, and NHRA 
all use radios to communicate with each other during a race.  You might 
also hear transmissions from the news media and reporters, local police 
departments, and paramedics and doctors at the local hospital.  You can 
even listen to transmissions by parking lot employees at the track, so you 
can find the best possible parking place when you arrive.

You can store a car number and frequency in each of the scanner's 
channels, associate one or more frequencies stored in channels with a car 
number, and recall any frequencies associated with that car number by 
simply entering the number.  You can store one car number and frequency, 
or one frequency by itself, in each channel (for up to 200 car numbers and 
frequencies).

For example, if you want to listen to communications between the driver of 
number 24 and that driver's pit crew, you find all the frequencies used by 
the driver's team by using any of the following options:

  The steps in "Searching the Service Banks" in Faxback Doc. # 60476.

  The supplied frequency guide.

  "Using Direct Search" in Faxback Doc. # 60476.

  Frequencies you already know.

Then, you store a car number and the frequencies associated with that car 
number in the scanner's channels and display the car number as you scan 
those frequencies by using the information in "Scanning by Car Number" 
below.

Storing A Car Number And Frequency

You can store a car number and frequency in each of the scanner's 
channels, and you can recall any frequencies associated with the car 
number by entering the number.  You can store one car number in each 
channel (for up to 200 car numbers).

Note: After you store a car number and a frequency, you can store
      additional frequencies then associate those frequencies with the
      same car number.  See "Adding Frequencies to a Car Number," below.

Follow these steps to store a car number and frequency.

1.  Press CAR.  CAR# and CAr No. appear and _ _ _ flashes.

2.  Enter the car number.  If the number is one or two digits, enter the 
    number then press CAR. If the number is three digits, enter the number
    only.  The car number and _ _ _ (.) _ _ _ appear.

    Notes: If you add one or more leading zeros to a single-digit car
           number, your scanner recognizes them as different car numbers.
           For example, you can enter 5 for one car number, 05 for another
           car number, and 005 for another car number.

           To clear the display (if you make a mistake), press CL/MON
           before you press CAR.

3.  Enter the frequency (including the decimal point) you want to
    associate with the car number by using the number keys and DELAY/(.).

4.  Press ENT to store the frequency.  The car number and frequency are
    stored in the first available channel.

Adding Frequencies To A Car Number

Follow these steps to select a car number then associate additional 
frequencies with that car number.

1.  Press CAR.  CAR# and CAr No. appear and _ _ _  flashes.

2.  Use the number keys to enter the car number if the number is three
    digits.  If the car number is less than three digits, enter the car
    number then press CAR.  The car number and the first frequency
    associated with that number appear.

3.  Repeatedly press /\ or \/ until _ _ _ (.) _ _ _ appears.

4.  Enter the frequency (including the decimal point) you want to
    associate with the displayed car number by using the number keys and
    DELAY/(.).

5.  Press ENT to store the frequency. The frequency is associated with the
    car number you entered.

Adding A Car Number To The Channel

You can assign the car number after you program the frequency into the 
channel.

1.  If a car number appears on the display, press CAR twice.  A channel
    number appears.

2.  Select the channel you want to use to store the car number by using
    the number keys and MAN.

3.  Press CAR twice.  CAR# appears.

4.  While holding down PGM, press CAR.  _ _ _ flashes. 

5.  Enter the car number by using the number keys. 

6.  Press ENT to store the new car number. 

Changing The Stored Car Number

1.  Press CAR then use the number keys to enter the car number.  If
    necessary, repeatedly press /\ or \/ to select the frequency.

2.  Hold down PGM then hold down CAR.  The car number flashes.

3.  Enter the car number by using the number keys, then press ENT to store
    the car number.

Viewing Frequencies Associated With A Car Number

1.  Press MAN then CAR.  CAR# and CAr No. appear and _ _ _ flashes.

2.  Enter the car number.  If the number is one or two digits, enter the 
    number then press CAR. If the number is three digits, enter the number
    only.  One of the car number's frequencies appears.

3.  Repeatedly press /\ or \/ to view each of the car numbers you entered.
    As you press /\ or \/, you see all associated frequencies and
    _ _ _ (.)_ _ _.

Deleting A Frequency From A Car Number 

1.  Recall the car number.

2.  Repeatedly press /\ or \/ until the frequency you want to delete 
    appears.

3.  Press PGM.

4.  Press 0 then ENT.

Scanning By Car Number

Once you store car numbers into channels, you can set the scanner so it 
displays the car numbers you assigned to the channels as it scans them.

To scan by car number, repeatedly press CAR until BANK and CAR # appear, 
then press SCAN. As the scanner scans channels, the car numbers you stored 
appear in channel order, from the lowest to the highest channel.

Notes: If no car number is assigned to a channel, _ _ _ appears instead
       of the car number.

       If SQUELCH is adjusted so you always hear a hissing sound, the
       scanner does not scan properly.

When you finish scanning by car number, repeatedly press CAR until CAR #
disappears.

Finding Car Numbers Associated With Channels

If you are listening to a channel and want to know what car number you are 
hearing, simply press CAR twice.  If a car number has been associated with 
this frequency, the car number and frequency appear. Press CAR twice again 
to return to normal channel listening.

To see what car numbers are stored, press CAR twice, then repeatedly press 
ENT.  The car numbers (from lowest channel number to highest) appear.
