PREPARATION BATTERY INSTALLATION Your scanner uses a g-volt battery for memory backup. For longest operation and best performance, we recommend an alkaline battery, such as Radio Shack's Cat. No. 23-553. For best results, replace the battery every six months. "BATT" flashes in the display and beeps sound when the battery is low or no[...]

POWER SOURCES You can power your scanner from the following sources: o A standard AC outlet o Your vehicle's battery (using an optional DC power cable) AC Power Operation Connect the scanner's AC power cord to a standard AC outlet. Gar Battery Operation You can power your scanner from your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket, provided[...]

CONNECTING THE ANTENNA We have provided a telescoping antenna with your scan- ner. This antenna is adequate for strong local signals. To install it, simply screw it into the hole on the top of the scanner. Antenna length controls the sensitivity: adjust the length of the telescoping antenna for best reception. Refer to the table below. Your scanner[...]

USING THE FOLDING FEET Your scanner's front feet are folding type. Use them ac- cording to the location of the scanner. CONNECTING HEADPHONES For private listening or in a noisy environment, plug head- phones into the headphone jack on front of your scanner.

UNDERSTANDING CHANNEL STORAGE BANKS AND SEARCH BANKS Your scanner can store up to 410 frequencies. you store each frequency in either a permanent memory, called a channel, or a temporary memory, called a monitor. The scanner has 400 channels and ten monitor memories. To make it easier to identify and select the channels you want to listen to, chann[...]

OPERATION PROGRAMMING THE PRO.2OOs SCANNER 1 Select a channel to program by pressing [MANUAL], and entering the channel number you want to program. Then, press IPROGRAM].

SEARCHING FOR ACTIVE FREQUENCIES Use these procedures to search for a transmission. This is helpful if you do not have a reference to frequencies in your area. Also, see "Guide to the Action Bands" in this manual. Limit Search The limit search procedure allows you to search within a range of frequencies. You can store up to ten limit sear[...]

Limit-Search Memory When you change your scanner's mode from limit search to manual, program, scan, direct search, and so on, your scanner retains the last frequency before you change the mode. Your scanner resumes the search from that frequency when you change the mode to limit search again. Note: You can change the upper or lower limit frequ[...]

Notes: . When you press [DIRECT] during limit, your scanner enters direct search mode. o When you press a numeric key during a direct search, your scanner changes to limit search mode. The key you press corresponds with the limit-search bank number. MOVING A FREQUENCY FROM A MONITOR MEMORY TO A CHANNEL As you store frequencies in monitor memories, [...]

UNDERSTANDING BAND MODES AND FREQUENCY STEPS We designed your scanner to adjust itself for the band modes and frequency steps for each frequency range. Default settings are as shown below. FREQUENCY VS. MODE AND STEP WFM: Wideband FM for normal FM broadcasts or TV sound. NFM: Narrowband FM for action radio bands, police, fire, ambulance, ham radio,[...]

Now,[...]

TURNING BANKS ON AND OFF As explained in "Understanding Channel Storage Banks and Search Banks" your scanner splits the 400 channels into ten banks of forty channels each. The small bars under the numbers at the top of the display are the bank in- dicators. You can turn each bank on and off, so that all the channels in a bank are either s[...]
