5 Features ˆ Features Your RadioShack Handheld Scan ner is one of a new generation of scanners d esigned to track Motorola  Type I and II (such as Smartnet  and Privacy Plus  ) and hybrid analog trunking systems, and GE/Ericsson (EDACS  ) type systems, which are extensively used in many communication systems. Trunking communications sy[...]

6 Features trunking systems only, once the control channels are programmed. 10 Channel-Storage Banks — let you store 30 chan- nels in each bank (300 channe ls) to group channels so calls are easier to identify. 10 ID-Storage Banks — let you store 1,000 IDs in 10 ID banks that have 5 sub-ID banks. 2 0 IDs are programmed in each sub-ID bank and l[...]

7 Features you can hear more replies that are made on the same channel. Priority Channel — lets you set the scanner to check one channel every 2 seconds so yo u do not miss trans- missions. Attenuate — lets you program your sca nner to reduce the scanner's sensitivity to strong local signals, to reduce interference or no ise caused by thes[...]

10 Preparation ˆ Preparation POWER SOURCES You can power your scanner from any of three sources: • internal non-recharge able batteries or rechargeable batteries (not supplied — see “Using Batteries” on Page 10). • standard AC power (with an opti onal AC adapter — see "“Using AC Power” o n Page 13) • vehicle po wer (with an [...]

11 Preparation er, we recommend RadioShack ni ckel-metal hydride (Ni–MH) batteries. Warning: Never insta ll non-rechargeable batteries in the rechargeable yellow battery hol der. Non-rechargeable batteries can get hot or explode if you try to recharge them. Note: You must charge rechargea ble batteries before you use them the first time. See “ [...]

12 Preparation When battery power is low, (FNý â8KK<IPü (FNý â8KK<IPü (FNý â8KK<IPü (FNý â8KK<IPü appears and the scanner beeps continuously. Wh en battery power is depleted, the scanner turns itself off. Replace a ll four non-rechargeable batteries, or recharg e the recharge- able batteries. Se e “Charging Rechargeable Ba[...]

13 Preparation • Rechargeable batteries last longer and deliver mo re power if you let them fully discharg e once a month. T o do this, use the sca nner until (FNý â8KK<IPü (FNý â8KK<IPü (FNý â8KK<IPü (FNý â8KK<IPü appears. Then fully charge the rechargeable ba tter- ies. Using AC Power You can power the scanne r using a 9[...]

14 Preparation Cautions: Y ou must use a power sour ce that sup- plies 9V DC and de livers at least 30 0 mA. Its center tip must be set to positive and its plug must fit the scanner's PWR DC 9V jack. Using an adapter that does not meet these sp ecifi- cations could damage the scanner or the adap te r . • Always connect the DC adapter to the [...]

15 Preparation Always use 50-ohm coaxial ca ble, such as RG-58 or RG-8, to connect an outdoor antenn a. For lengths over 50 feet, use RG-8 low-loss dielectric coaxial cable. If your antenna's cable does n ot have a BNC connector, you will also need a BNC adap ter (not supplied, ava il- able at your local RadioShack stor e). Follow the installa[...]

16 Preparation T raffic Safety Do not wear an earphone or head phones while you drive a vehicle or ride a bicycle. This can create a traffic haz- ard and can be illegal in some areas. Even though some earphones and headph ones let you hear some outside sounds when you listen at normal levels, they still ca n present a traffic hazard. Connecting an [...]

21 About Your Scanner FM Mode The FM mode sets the scanner to receive transmissions using frequency modulation (FM), used for most public safety transmissions, as well a s broadcast, business, and amateur radio transmissions. When th e scanner re- ceives a transmission on a chan nel set to the FM mode, it always stops on the transmission. Motorola [...]

22 About Your Scanner Type I systems are usually organized with different user groups assigned to different fleets. For example, a valid fleet-subfleet ID identifying al l detectives within a poli ce department might be òòòVñð òòòVñð òòòVñð òòòVñð , where 000 identifies a ll po- lice users and 12 identifies the De tective divisi[...]
