B.2.5. SCANNING THE FM CHANNELS
The automatic FM channel scanning function of the FM-SPY-T is a useful feature when the
device has been installed in a new location with entirely different radio sound broadcasting
stations as at the previous location. When enabling the automatic scanning function, FM-
SPY-T scans the FM frequency band from 108.000MHz downwards to 87.500MHz and
stores all channels with strong enough RF levels (the threshold is set to 50dBµV) to its
internal memory.
The channels are stored in a reverse order to the internal memory: The first channel FM-
SPY-T finds will be saved to program number 39, the second one to program number 38 and
so on. As the user of FM-SPY-T will normally have his favourite channels stored in the first
few preset positions (e.g. preset 00 to preset 08), the scanning function will not overwrite the
user channel setup when storing all channels which were found during scanning to the last
positions in memory.
In order to start a scan, the MENU state of the FM-SPY-T has to be achieved by double-
pressing LOAD/MENU and then the SCAN button (see keypad 13) has to be pressed:

Because scanning might overwrite some previously stored presets in the internal memory,
FM-SPY-T will prompt you before continueing (see screen 12).
