USING THE ATTENUATOR
To reduce interference or noise caused by
strong signals, you can reduce the scanner's
sensitivity to these signals.
There are two attenuator modes in your
scanner. In normal attenuator mode, you set
the attenuator in each channel or each band/
group in the search and tune mode. In global
mode, you set the attenuator only once. The
global setting affects every mode.
Press ATT to turn on or off the attenuator
while the channel number is indicated, or
while the scanner is searching through
bands/groups. When the attenuator is on,
г г г г
appears at the seventh digit in the top line.
When you turn it off, г г г г changes to " фффф ". You
cannot set the attenuator while the scanner
is scanning.
Press FUNC then ATT to set the attenuator to
the global mode. #CF98Cэ г00ф #CF98Cэ г00ф #CF98Cэ г00ф #CF98Cэ г00ф appears for 2

ner might not receive weak signals.
