Internal Clock/Calendar

Your scanner includes a real time clock/calendar that is

used to correctly date and time stamp recorded audio

files. The first time you power on your scanner, you will

be prompted to set the time and date.

Time Display

The scanner can display a clock when the scanner is off;

by default this feature is disabled.

To enable or disable the time display:

1. From the Main Menu, select Settings to enter the

Setting.

2. Scroll to Clock Display then press the /II/SEL

key to turn on or off. (Check mark will be displayed,

indicating the clock will be on.

3. Press the Menu key and then the /II/SEL key to

confirm your choice.

NOTE: If you mount the scanner in your vehicle and

time display setting is enabled, the scanner will draw

power from the vehicle’s battery even when turned

off. We recommend that you disable the time display

function if you mount the scanner on your vehicle.

If the internal clock battery is allowed to fully discharge,

the date and time will need to be set again. If this

occurs, recharge the internal battery using one of the

following methods.

• Plug in the AC power adapter, then power on the

scanner for several hours.

• Or connect the scanner’s USB jack to your PC’s USB

port; leave the scanner power off. Charging Backup

Battery appears on the display. After several hours,

disconnect both USB connectors.

NOTE: The scanner does not function on USB bus

power only.

Monitoring and Scanning

When programmed, your scanner provides two basic

functions for scanning radio transmissions:

• Monitoring – Listening to a single object.

• Scanning – Checking multiple saved objects,

stopping when a transmission is detected.

To scan more quickly, you can skip or lock out

frequencies that you do not wish to scan. A skipped

frequency is ignored during the current scan; a locked

out frequency is ignored for all scans unless it is

unlocked.
