Programming Channels
Now that you have configured your scanner, you are ready to start using
your scanner’s preprogrammed service banks, the custom search banks,
the Close Call feature. You can also program your channel memories or
re-program your 10 custom search bank memories.
Before the scanner can begin scanning, you must program a frequency
into at least one channel.
1. To select a channel, press Hold then enter the channel
number (1-500).
2. Press Pgm/E to enter the Channel menu. (You can also
press Hold and scroll to the channel; press Func then
Pgm/E.)
Note 1: Turning SCROLL CONTROL in Function mode will allow you to
select the first channel in each bank.
Note 2: You can quickly store frequencies in Scan Hold mode by
entering the frequency and pressing Pgm/E.
3. Scroll to highlight Enter Frequency and press Pgm/E. You will
see the channel number and currently programmed
frequency. (To return to the previous screen, press .Clr.)
4. Use number keys and .Clr for a decimal to enter the
frequency. If you make a mistake, press .Clr to clear the
display. Press Pgm/E to store the frequency and return to the
Channel menu.
5. Press .Clr to return to the last screen.
The scanner automatically rounds the entered number to the nearest
valid frequency. For example, if you enter 151.473 (MHz), your scanner
accepts it as 151.475.
If you entered an invalid frequency, Out of Band appears and the
scanner beeps three times. Press .Clr and enter a valid frequency. If you
enter a frequency that has already been entered elsewhere, the scanner
displays the channel number and Frequency Exists – Confirm? appears.
