OPERATION
TURNING ON THE
SCANNER AND SETTING
SQUELCH
1. Turn
SQUELCH
fully counterclock-
wise until the indicator points to
MIN
.
2. To turn on the scanner, turn
VOL-
UME
clockwise.
Welcome
to
Multi-System
Trunking
appears. Then, after about 3 sec-
onds, you hear a hissing sound.
3. Turn
SQUELCH
clockwise and
leave it set to a point just after the
hissing sound stops.
4. To turn off the scanner, turn
VOL-
UME
counterclockwise to
OFF
.
Notes:
• The scanner does not scan if
there are no frequencies stored
in channels. If the scanner does
not scan and you have already
stored frequencies in channels,
turn
SQUELCH
further clock-
wise.
• If the scanner picks up
unwanted, partial, or very weak
transmissions, turn
SQUELCH
clockwise to decrease the scan-
ner’s sensitivity to these sig-
nals. If you want to listen to a
weak or distant station, turn
SQUELCH
counterclockwise.
• If
SQUELCH
is adjusted so you
always hear a hissing sound,
the scanner will not scan prop-
erly.
• To ensure the scanner operates
properly while in the trunking
mode, we suggest you set
SQUELCH
using the above
steps, even if the scanner is
automatically muted.
STORING KNOWN
FREQUENCIES INTO
CHANNELS
Good references for active frequen-
cies are the RadioShack Police Call
Guide including Fire and Emergency
Services, Official Aeronautical Fre-
quency Directory, and Maritime Fre-
quency Directory. We update these
directories every year, so be sure to
get a current copy. You can also
quickly and easily program your scan-
ner by using Scanner Data Manager
software, available at your local
RadioShack store.
Follow these steps to store frequen-
cies into channels.
1. Press
MAN
, enter the bank num-
ber (0–9) and the channel number
(00–49) where you want to store a
frequency, then press
MAN
again.
M
and the channel number
appear.
2. Press
PROG
.
M
changes to
P
.
3. Use the number keys and
•
to
enter the frequency (including the
decimal point) you want to store.
If you make a mistake, hold down
CLEAR
for about a second to
delete a single digit or about 2
seconds to delete all digits.
