Charging the Cub

Plug the supplied AC90 adapter into the top of the Cub for 8-10 hours to fully charge the battery pack.
The unit should operate for 4-5 hours on a full charge.  The unit may be turned on while the AC adapter
is plugged in. Charging will occur with the unit on or off.   If the battery becomes discharged a battery
symbol with a line through it will be displayed on bottom of the display.

Selecting a range

The two ranges are as follows:
250MHz (switch down) for frequencies between 1MHz-250MHz
2.8GHz (switch up) for frequencies between 10MHz-2.8GHz

The 2.8GHz range covers all VHF and UHF communications.  Leaving in this range may prove to be
the most useful.  
Selecting the 250MHz range is good if you require to count signals below 250MHz.  The other advan-
tage to this range is that it is faster to respond and gives more digits of resolution than in the 2.8GHz
range. 

Using the Normal/Filter-Capture switch

When the switch is in the Normal mode position the display will oscillate.  The only time the display
becomes stable is when the unit is actively counting a signal.  When the carrier drops then the display
begins to oscillate again displaying random background RF.
