Care and Maintenance
General Use
• Turn the scanner off before disconnecting the power.
• If memory is lost, simply reprogram each channel.
• Always press each button firmly until you hear the entry tone for that
key entry.
Location
• Do not use the scanner in high-moisture environments such as the
kitchen or bathroom.
• Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight or near heating elements or
vents.
• If the scanner receives strong interference or electrical noise, move it
or its antenna away from the source of the noise. If possible, a higher
elevation might provide better reception.
• Also try changing the height or angle of the antenna.
Cleaning
• Disconnect the power to the unit before cleaning.
• Clean the outside of the scanner with a mild detergent.
• To prevent scratches, do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Be careful not to rub the LCD window.
• Do not use excessive amounts of water.
Birdies
All radios can receive “birdies” (undesired signals). If your scanner stops
during Scan mode and no sound is heard, it might be receiving a birdie.
Birdies are internally generated signals inherent in the electronics of the
scanner. Press L/O to lock out the channel.
