Operation
• To listen to a weak or distant
station, turn SQUELCH
counterclockwise. If reception is
poor, turn SQUELCH clockwise
to cut out weak transmissions.
•If SQUELCH is adjusted so you
always hear a hissing sound,
the scanner will not scan or
search properly.
Storing Known Frequencies
into Channels
• If you made a mistake in Step 2,
;hheh
;hheh;hheh
;hheh appears and the scanner
beeps three times when you
press ENT. Simply start again
from Step 2.
• Your scanner automatically
rounds the entered frequency
down to the closest valid
frequency. For example, if you
enter a frequency of 151.473,
your scanner accepts it as
151.470.
• If you entered a frequency that
is already stored in another
channel, the scanner beeps
three times while displaying the
lowest channel number and
#ZKFB
#ZKFB#ZKFB
#ZKFB- where the frequency is
already stored. Then the fre-
quency you entered flashes on
the display. To store the
frequency anyway, press ENT
again. Press TUNE/CLEAR to
clear the frequency.
