If the batteries are good, the scanner charges the batteries. If the
scanner cannot immediately determine if the batteries are good and can
be charged, it checks them. If the scanner judges the batteries are good,
the scanner starts charging. If it cannot regard the batteries as good, the
scanner stops checking and the battery icon blinks.
About your Scanner
We use a few simple terms in this manual to explain the features of the
scanner. Familiarize yourself with these terms and the scanner's
features, and you can put the scanner to work for you right away. Simply
determine the type of communications you want to receive, then set the
scanner to search those communications.
A frequency, expressed in kHz or MHz, is the tuning location of a station.
To find active frequencies, you use the search function or refer to a
frequency reference.
Besides searching within a selected frequency range, you can also
search your scanner's service banks. Service banks are preset groups of
frequencies categorized by the type of services that use those
frequencies. For example, many amateur radio frequencies are located
in the HAM service bank.
