Programming Tips
■
Program one frequency per channel.
■
Channel 1 is the location of the default priority channel. Program the most
important frequency, or the one of major interest, into Channel 1. You may
also select any other channel to be the priority channel.
■
To quickly program a series of channels, start with the lowest number
channel. For example, when you are programming five new frequencies into
Channels 4 through 8, start with Channel 4. After you complete the
programming in one channel (by pressing
E
), press
MANUAL
to step up to
the next channel.
■
If you make an error during programming, or the frequency is out of range,
E
rror
appears on the frequency display.
■
If you program the same frequency in two channels, the display will indicate
the channel with the duplicate frequency. If you want to have two of the
same frequencies on different channels, accept the entry by pressing
E
again.
■
During numeric entry, if you know that you pressed the wrong number,
press
.
(decimal point) until the entry is cancelled out. When the previous
frequency is displayed, you may re-enter the frequency.

Above 406MHz, the frequency steps are in 12.5kHz increments. To enter a
frequency such as 450.4875, press each of the seven digits in sequence.
If
All Loc Out
appears in the display, when you first
turn the scanner on, this indicates that all the channel
information has been manually erased. All channels are set to
0.0MHz. To clear this message, program the frequency and
channel information as desired.
