SETTING PREFERENCES
Some scanner settings are located in the “My Preferences” section of the Options menu.
Backlight: This setting determines when the LCD’s backlight will be illuminated.
• On When Receive: Display is lit for 10 seconds when receiving.
• On When Keypress: Display is lit for 2 seconds after any key is pressed.

Squelch: Squelch filters out unwanted noise. Squelch operates as a gate to reduce noisy
transmissions. If the transmission is strong, the gate will open and the transmission will be
heard. If the transmission is weak or mostly static, the gate will remain closed and the
transmission will not be heard. You can set Squelch level to Low, Mid, or Sensitive.

PROGRAMMING
You can add, remove or edit race series and driver infromation from the PROGRAM menu.
Users have two methods available for programming thier scanner.
Over The Air
Racing Electronics locations at the track are equipped with transmitters that match the “Over
The Air” receiving frequency that is programmed into your scanner. Before the scanner can
perform this function, it needs to be located within 100 feet of one of these transmitters. This is
the fastest and easiest method of updating the scanner with the latest track/driver frequencies,
names, codes and channel numbers. Instructions for completing this operation are in the
“QUICK START” section on the first page of this guide.
Keypad Entry
1. Press the MENU key (12) to return to the main menu. Select PROGRAM (9) , then select
“Keypad Entry”
2. You will be prompted to enter the following information.
• Car Number: This will be the channel number assigned for this record. If you enter a
number that is already in use, the previous information will be overwritten.
• Frequency: Enter the frequency (450-469.9875) by using the Four-Way keys (9, 10, 11, 12) .
• CTCSS/DCS Code: This code is essential for monitoring track/driver channels. CTCSS and
DCS Codes are sub-audio signaling formats designed to prevent interference from other
broadcasting stations sharing the same frequency. When using CTCSS or DCS codes the
scanner will only respond to transmissions carrying the tone so that you only hear the
race team’s transmissions. Use the Four-Way keys to set CTCSS/DCS code. The Left (11)
and Right (12) keys turn the CTCSS Code off and on. The Up (9) and Down (10) keys
change the number.
• Alpha Label: Used to name the channel. You can use both letters and numbers. Use the
Alphanumeric Keypad (15) to enter the label. The Up (9) and Down (10) keys will switch
between ABC, abc, or 123. The Left (11) and Right keys (12) will move the cursor. DONE (7)
will delete the entry, and NEXT (8) will jump to next channel to continue programming.
Other Programming Functions
• Race Series: Select “Race Series” to view the series names. Select a series and use the
Four-Way keys (9, 10, 11, 12) and Alphanumeric Keypad (15) to edit it.
• Reset Scanner: This function will restore the scanner’s default settings and clear any
recording stored in the Replay memory.
