SERVICE BANKS
The scanner is preprogrammed with the frequencies allocated by car band, Marine, FRS/GM/MU, Police/Fire,
aircraft, and ham radio bands. This is handy for quickly finding active frequencies instead of searching though
an entire bank (see “Searching the Preprogrammed Bands” on Page XX).
Note: The frequencies in the scanner’s service banks are preset. You cannot change them.

OPERATING YOUR SCANNER
TURNING ON THE SCANNER/SETTING SQUELCH
1. To turn on the scanner, turn VOLUME clockwise. Welcome Using Race Scanner appears in the display.
After 3 seconds, you might hear a rushing sound. Then adjust VOLUME to a comfortable level.
2. Turn SQUELCH fully counterclockwise, then turn SQUELCH clockwise until the rushing sound stops.
3. To turn off the scanner, turn VOLUME counterclockwise to OFF.
Notes:
. The scanner will not enter scan mode if there are no frequencies stored in channels, or if all channels are
locked out in the channel storage bank(s) that you are attempting to scan. In either of these cases, the
scanner will display All channels Locked out!. See "Programming Your Scanner" on Page XX.
. If SQUELCH is adjusted so you always hear a rushing sound, the scanner will not scan properly. Rotate the
SQUELCH control until the rushing sound stops.
. If SQUELCH is adjusted precisely at the threshold where the rushing sound stops, the radio will be most
sensitive to very weak signals. The radio may also receive unwanted noise or signals that are too weak to
understand. Most users prefer to position the SQUELCH control a little bit past the point of threshold to avoid
receiving noise or signals that are too weak to understand.
