Programming Tips
Program 1 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.
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 1 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,
Error
appears on the channel display.
If you program the same frequency in two channels, the display will indicate the
channel in which the duplicate frequency resides.
During numeric entry, if you know that you pressed the wrong number, press
.
(decimal point) twice. This cancels the entire numeric entry, and displays the
current channel number.
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.
Once you have programmed a channel, you cannot erase the frequency in that
channel. However, you can change the frequency in a specific channel by
programming a new frequency over the existing one.
If you want to manually erase all the memory, first remove power from the scanner.
Then, press and hold
MANUAL
,
2
, and
9
simultaneously while you reconnect the
power to the scanner.
CLEAr
appears in the LCD Display, indicating that all user
entered information is erased. (This clears the non-volatile memory.)
When you first turn the scanner on after erasing all the channel information,
All Loc Out
appears in the display, indicating all channels set to 0.0MHz.
