20-496 Owner’s Manual Draft Page 18/78
Follow these steps to store conventional frequencies in to channels.
Notes:
. When the scanner is in Manual or Program mode, indicated with M or P in the top left hand corner of the
display, you can select your desired bank and channel number using direct channel entry, the ^ or v arrow
keys, and with FUNC and the ^ or v arrow keys.
. For direct channel entry, press MAN or PROG, enter the channel storage bank (0-9) and channel number
(00-49) where you want to store a frequency, then press MAN or PROG again. For example, Bank 3,
Channel 23 is entered as “323”. The scanner advances to the selected channel storage bank and channel,
and the channel storage bank and channel number appear at the upper left corner of the display (for
example: M323 or P323).
. Press FUNC, then ^ or v to jump to the next or previous channel storage bank.
. Press FUNC, then hold ^ or v to scroll through the channel storage banks.
1. To begin programming your scanner, press PROG. M changes to P. Select the desired channel storage
bank and channel, and press PROG to advance to that channel.
2. Use the number keys and ./DELAY to enter the frequency (including the decimal point) you want to store.
3. If you make a mistake, press CLEAR to backspace and correct the incorrect digit, or press and hold
CLEAR for about 2 seconds to clear the entire field and start over.
4. Press ENT to store the frequency into the channel.
Notes:
. If you made a mistake in entering the frequency, Invalid Freq briefly appears and the scanner beeps when
you press ENT. Enter the frequency again.
. Your scanner automatically rounds the entered frequency to the nearest valid frequency. For example, if
you enter a frequency of 151.53, your scanner accepts it as 151.5275. Reception of the frequency will not
be adversely affected.
. If you enter a frequency that has already been entered elsewhere in the same bank, the scanner sounds
an error tone and displays Dupl.f and the channel number that has been duplicated. If the dual entry is an
error press CLEAR and enter the correct frequency. If the dual entry is intentional press ENT to accept.
. You may replace any frequency by selecting the bank and channel, pressing PROG and entering the new
frequency.
. You can clear programmed frequency data by pressing FUNC, then CLEAR.
. If you make an error in the entry process, press CLEAR as often as needed to erase the incorrect data, or
press and hold CLEAR for one second to clear the entire field.
5. By default, the scanner will configure the channels you enter for a two second delay after a transmission
is received. This is indicated by the D character that appears in the top row of the display. If you do not want
the scanner to pause for reply traffic before resuming scanning operation, press ./DELAY until D is not
visible in the top line of the display.
