FEATURES

Your new Albrecht AE80H 50-Channel Portable Scanner gives you direct access to over 34,000 exciting
frequencies, including police and fire departments, ambulance services, and amateur radio services.
You can select up to 50 channels to scan, and you can change your selection at any time.

The secret to your scanner’s ability to scan so many frequencies is its custom-designed microprocessor
– a tiny, built-in computer.

Your scanner has these special features:

10 Preprogrammed Search Bands – let you search for transmissions within preset frequency ranges,
so you can find interesting frequencies more quickly.

50 Channels – let you store up to 50 of your favorite frequencies for easy recall and scanning.

Duplicate Frequency Check – automatically warns you if you try to store a frequency you’ve already
stored, to help you use the scanner’s memory more efficiently.

Monitor Memory – lets you temporarily save a frequency located during a direct search, so you can
move it to channel storage later.

Channel Lockout – keeps channels you select from being scanned.

Memory Backup – keeps the channel frequencies stored in memory for about 1 hour during a power
loss.

Two-Second Scan Delay – delays scanning for 2 seconds before moving to another channel, so you
can hear more replies.

Key Lock – lets you lock the keys to help prevent accidentally changing the scanner’s programming.

Flexible Antenna with BNC Connector – provides excellent reception. The BNC connector makes it
easy to attach and remove the antenna or a variety of optional antennas.

Liquid Crystal Display – clearly displays how the scanner is set and makes it easy to change those
settings.

Three Power Options – you can power the scanner from internal batteries (not supplied – including
non-rechargeable batteries, rechargeable batteries, or a rechargeable scanner battery pack) or external
AC or DC power (using optional adapters).

We recommend you record your scanner’s serial number here. This number is on the scanner’s back
panel.
