Operation Before you apply power, there are a few basic operations to get the scanner ready. Those are covered below. If some seem out of a logical order it is only so you can use the BCT15 more quickly. For example, some of these action are required for basic programming or menu options. Turning On the Scanner and Setting the Squelch To turn the scanner on, rotate [VOL] clockwise. Turn the knob to a comfortable sound level. Rotate the squelch control [SQ] clockwise until you either hear a broadcast or noise just stops. The control is now set for strong signals. If you desire to hear a weaker signal, turn it counter clockwise from that point until you hear background noise once more. Setting the Display Backlight Press F. f appears on the display. Repeatedly press [VOL] to reach your desired level from Off, Low, Medium, and High. Setting Alert Mute Your scanner provides several varieties of alert tones for various situations such as a signal received on a BearTracker priority system, a channel alert, an alert for Close Call detection, and GPS alerts. You can silence their sounding using two approaches. The Alert LED will light to warn of Priority Channel, or BearTracker activity. It will also light in conjunction with GPS settings. The Close Call LED lights in response to Close Call hits. Temporary Alert Mute Press [VOL/MUTE]. This mutes the alert action for about 3 minutes. The M icon in the lower left corner of the display flashes to confirm this setting. Continuous Alert Mute Press and hold [VOL/MUTE]. The M icon remains on and not flashing. Operation 51
