WIRED/ON-AIR PROGRAMMING
You can program your scanner using data you transfer from
your personal computer to the scanner using an optional PC
cable (called wired programming). You can also program your
scanner by receiving data transmitted on a frequency your
scanner can receive (called on-air programming).
You can use wired or on-air programming to store the following
data into the scanner:
• Channel number (from 1 to 200)
• Frequency (any frequency the scanner can receive)
• Car number (from 0 to 999, including 00, 000, 01, and 001)
• Channel lockout setting (ON or OFF)
• Channel delay setting (ON or OFF)
Notes:
• The scanner receives only the data shown above during
wired/on-air programming.
• d-Err (data error) appears if the scanner receives a
channel number equal to 0 or frequency data which is out
of the range of frequencies the scanner can receive.
USING WIRED PROGRAMMING
Note: Wired programming stops if the scanner receives an
empty channel number.
1. Turn off the scanner.
2. Connect the scanner to the PC using a PC cable.
3. While pressing ENT and 9 , turn on the scanner. PGM and
WirEd appear. Then send the data from the PC. StArt
and the data being received by the scanner appears in the
order it is received.
Notes:
• If the scanner receives no data from the PC for more
than 20 seconds or if you press any key, wired program-
ming stops.
• If the scanner did not receive a start bit from the PC,
StArt does not appear.
