ChARGING ThE BATTERy

Your scanner receiver is supplied with a rechargeable battery back, desktop charging cradle and AC adaptor.

To charge the battery:

1. Fit the battery to the receiver (see instructions left). Ensure the receiver is switched off.

Connect the AC adaptor to the charging cradle.

4. Insert the receiver into the charging cradle until it ‘clicks’ home. The charging LED will glow RED and charging will begin.

Charging LED

If the charging LED blinks RED and GREEN or does not light at all, remove the receiver from the cradle and reinsert it.

The charging time for a discharged battery is typically 12–15 hours. When the battery is fully charged, the LED will turn GREEN.

Note: If you ﬁnd yourself in a position where you need to charge the battery but the charging cradle is not available, you can plug the AC adaptor directly into the receiver’s charging socket located under the accessory jack cover.

Plug the AC adaptor into a mains power outlet

SELECTING FREQUENCIES

The receiver always selects the VFO Mode when it is turned on. You can select frequencies using one of the following methods:

Direct Frequency Input

Enter frequencies using the numbered keypad. Don’t forget to include the decimal point where applicable. When you have entered the required frequency, press the E/VFO key to accept it. If the frequency you have entered is not within the selected frequency step, it is automatically corrected to the nearest correct frequency.

e.g. Entering 456.25 followed by E/VFO results in 456.2500 being selected.

The frequency step can be changed to allow more precision of desired frequency.

PAGE 10 INSTRUCTION MANUAL RX1300

To stay on an active frequency indeﬁnitely or to stop the Dual Watch function press Func DW again. The receiver will exit the Dual Watch function.

MEMoRy BANkS

The scanner memory storage area has a capacity of 1300 locations. These are split into speciﬁc segments as follows:

1000 Manual Storage Memories.

200 Automatic Storage Memories.

50 Limited Search Memories (2 x 25 pairs).

50 Dual Watch memories (2 x 25 Pairs).

MANUAL MEMoRIES

The Manual Memory area allows the user to manually store up to 1000 individual frequencies. It is split into memory banks with a maximum capacity of 40 memory banks, each containing 25 memory locations (40 x 25 = 1000). However the memory capacity of each bank is ﬂexible up to a maximum of 100 memories per bank, but at a reduction in the number of banks available. For example, in an extreme case where each bank is programmed with the maximum 100 memories, the number of banks available would be reduced to 10

(10 banks x 100 memories = 1000 memory capacity).

The default Manual memory banks are labelled 00 to 39.

AUToMATIC MEMoRIES

The Automatic Memory area can store up to 200 frequencies in two banks of 100 memories. The automatic memory is used when searching a band of frequencies. The scanner can automatically store any active frequencies it ﬁnds while searching. The Automatic Memory banks are labelled A0 and A1.

LIMITED SEARCh MEMoRIES

The Limited Search Memories consists of 50 memory locations split into 25 pairs of frequencies. The Limited Search function allows you to specify the upper and lower frequency limits of a section of frequency band that you wish to scan. These frequency limit ‘pairs’ can be stored in the Limited Search memories for recall at a later time. The Limited Search Memory Upper and Lower limits are identiﬁed as A and b. The 25 pairs are therefore labelled A00, b00 to A24, b24.

DUAL WATCh MEMoRIES

The Dual Watch function allows the radio to switch between two selected frequencies. The Dual Watch Memories consists of 50 memory locations split into 25 pairs of frequencies.

The two Dual Watch frequencies are identiﬁed as A and b. The 25 pairs are therefore labelled A00, b00 to A24, b24.

CLoNING SToRED MEMoRIES WITh ANoThER UNIT

RX1300

The memories stored in your receiver can be transferred to or from another RX1300 receiver. To perform this function you will need a cloning cable (available separately).

Cloning is performed as follows:

1. Place the two receivers side by side and connect the cloning cable as shown in the diagram below.

2. Switch both radios on as follows;

a. On the MASTER unit (the receiver

you are copying from) press and hold the FUNC and MODE keys while turning the unit On. The radio will display CLON TX

b. On the SLAVE unit (the receiver

you are copying to) press and hold the FUNC and MODE keys while turning the unit On. The radio will display CLON TX. Rotate the knob to display CLON RX.

3. To begin cloning, press the E/VFO key on BOTH radios.

4. DATA TX is displayed on both radios and the radio beeps as each memory bank is cloned.

5. When cloning is completed both radios display CLON OK.

6. If cloning fails, FAIL will be displayed on the MASTER radio. To try again, repeat step 3.

If repeated cloning attempts fail, repeat the entire procedure from step 1.

Once cloning has completed successfully, switch both radios off and remove the cloning cable. You can now switch the cloned (SLAVE) radio on and access the frequencies you have transferred.
