through the loop and tighten

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.

2.

Connect the AC adaptor to the
charging cradle.

3.

Plug the AC adaptor into a mains
power outlet

.

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

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.

level setting.

Function Key

The Function key provides access to
secondary functions associated with
the front panel keys. The secondary
function labels are printed below their
respective keys.

Menu Key

The Menu key provides access to the
radios settings. The settings menus will
vary depending on which Mode the

E/VFO Key [Enter/VFO]

Press the E/VFO key to select the VFO
(Variable Frequency Oscillator) Mode.
Frequencies can now be entered directly
from the keyboard. Press the E/VFO key
to Enter (accept) the selected frequency.

Note: The receiver always selects the
VFO Mode each time it is turned on.

Control Knob

The Control knob is used to change the

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.

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.
