Turning On The Scanner/Setting Volume and Squelch 
 
1.  Turn SQUELCH and VOLUME fully counterclockwise. 
 
2.  Turn VOLUME clockwise until you hear a hissing sound. 
 
3.  Turn SQUELCH clockwise, then leave it set to a point just after the 
    hissing sound stops. 
 
Notes:  If the scanner picks up unwanted, partial, or very weak 
        transmissions, turn SQUELCH clockwise to decrease the scanner's 
        sensitivity to these signals. 
 
        If you want to listen to a weak or distant station, turn SQUELCH 
        counterclockwise. 
 
        If the scanner will not scan, turn SQUELCH further clockwise. 
 
Resetting The Scanner 
 
You might need to reset the scanner if any of the following occur: 
 
   The scanner's display locks up. 
 
   The scanner does not work properly after you connect power. 
 
   The scanner is dropped or subjected to a physical or electrical shock. 
 
CAUTION:  This procedure clears all the information you have programmed 
          into the scanner!  Use this procedure only when you are sure 
          your scanner is not working properly. 
 
1.  Turn off the scanner. 
 
2.  While you press and hold down 11-20/2 and 81-90/9, turn on the 
    scanner. 
 
Scanning Channels 
 
To scan the stored channels, press SCAN.  The scanner scans through all 
non-locked channels in the active banks (see "Scanning Channel-Storage 
Banks" below and "Skipping Frequencies/Channels" in Faxback Doc. # 46802).
