Preprogrammed Systems
Preprogrammed Systems
Your scanner is preprogrammed with over 400 channels
covering police, fire, and ambulance operations in the 25
most populated counties in the US. The following list
details the preprogrammed information.
By default, all of the preprogrammed systems are
unlocked, and your scanner begins to scan them when
you turn it on. To speed up scanning, you can lock out
systems that are beyond your reception area (typically no
more than 25 miles using the supplied antenna).
Follow these steps to lock out systems:
1. Press and hold
.
2. While continuing to hold , rotate the scroll control
to select a system you want to lock out.
3. While continuing to hold , press L/O to lock out
the system.
4. Repeat Steps 2, 3, and 4 to lock out additional sys-
tems.
The preprogrammed systems provide a starting point;
you will want to find out more information about your local
radio systems so you can customize the programming to
better suit your listening preferences.
Notes:
• You might hear transmissions on frequencies
assigned to very distant stations. This will happen if a
local system also uses the same frequency. Disregard
the text tag for these transmissions (e.g. if you are in
California, you aren’t really receiving Florida transmis-
sions even if the scanner displays Dade County).
• To free up memory, you can delete systems that you
will not be monitoring. Refer to “Deleting Systems” on
Page 69 (for conventional channels) and “Deleting
Systems” on Page 69 (for Motorola channels).
