A few notes about the frequency download order:
1. The scanner fills up less than its allotted 300 channels if

there are not more than 300 of the above types of licenses

in your area.
2. If there are more than 300 of the above listed types of

licenses, or you have locked-out some banks prior to the

download using the Program Lock feature, the scanner

may run out of memory locations and you may not, for

example, receive part or all of your county, state or

nationwide data.
3. If you wish to also receive a download of frequencies

and talk groups from an adjacent county, lock those banks

you wish to keep, shut the scanner off, turn it back on

again and enter the SmartScanner download mode. Then

enter a zip code from a community within the adjacent

county.
4. The SmartScanner editors used their best efforts to

delete digital and MDT (mobile data terminal) computer

records from the database; however, it would be

impossible to delete them all. Therefore, you may hear

some non-voice transmissions on the frequencies

downloaded into your scanner. Make sure you have

TRUNK mode on to see if these are control channels for a

trunking system. If not, then you should lock these

frequencies out or delete them by entering a new

frequency or entering 0,

5. Important: After the download, be sure to press the trunk

key to see if you have trunk systems now loaded for your

area. The BC 245XLT cannot track such systems unless

the trunking mode is on. Performance of the scanner is not

hindered if you have TRUNK mode on and you do not have

a trunk system programmed.
6. If you have a trunk system programmed (you can tell by

seeing if the display shows Id SCAN at any time), be sure

to put the radio into Trunk Search mode at some point to

discover new talk groups within the trunk system that

have not been pre-programmed into the

SmartScanner database.
7. The database will be updated every 6 to 12 months at

a minimum.
