Your scanner covers frequencies
used by many different groups
including police and fire
departments, a mbulance servic es,
government agencies, private
companies, amateur radio
services, military operations,
pager services, and wireline
(telephone and telegraph) service
providers. It is legal to listen to
almost every transmission your

scanner can receive. However,
there are some transmissions you
should never i ntentionally listen to.
These include:

• Telephone conversations
(cellular, cordless, or other
private means of telephone
signal transmission)

• Pager transmis si ons

• Any scrambled or encrypted
transmissions

According to the Electronic
Communications Privacy Act
(ECPA), you are subject to fines
and possible imprisonment for
intentionally listening to, using, or
divulging the contents of such a
transmission unless you have the
consent of a party to the
communi cation (unless such
activity is otherwise illegal).

This scanner has been designed
to prevent reception of illegal
transmissions. This is done to
comply with the legal requirement
that scanners be m anufac tured so
as to not be easily modifiable to
pick up those transmissions. Do
not open your scan ner's case to
make any modifications that could
allow it to pick up transmissions
that it is not l egal to list en to. Doing
so could subject you to legal
penalties.

We encourage responsible, legal
scanner use.

Mobile use of this scanner is
unlawful or requires a permit in
some areas. Check the laws in
your area.

#$176";174"
5%#00'4

Once you unde rstand a few simp le
terms used in this manual and
familiarize yourself with your
scanner's features, you can put
the scanner to work for you. You
simply determine the type of
communi cations yo u want to
receive, then set the scanner to
scan them.

A

frequency

is the rece iving signa l
location (expressed in kHz or
MHz). To find active frequencies,
you can use the search function.

You can also search the One
Touch Search Banks, which are
preset groups of frequencies
categorized by type of service.

When you find a frequency, you
can store it into a programmable
memory loc ati on ca lled a channel,
which is grouped with oth er
channels in a channel -storage
bank. You can then scan the
channel-storage banks to see if
there is acti vi ty on the frequencies
stored there. Each time the
scanner find s an activ e frequ ency ,
it stays on that channel until the
transmission ends.

A bank is a storage area for a
group of channels. Channels are
storage areas for frequencies.
Whereas a channel can only
contain o ne frequen cy, a b ank can
hold numerous channels.

To make it easier to identify and
select the channels you want to
listen to, your scanner divides the
channels int o 10 ba nks (1 to 10) of
20 channels each, a total of 200
channels. You can use each
channel-storage bank to group
frequencies.

The scanner is preprogramm ed
with the frequencies allocated by
marine, fire/police, aircraft, ham
radio, and weather services. This
is handy for quickly finding active

Many agencies use a two-way
radio system that has a peri od of
several seconds between a query
and a reply. To avoid missing a
reply, you can program a 2­second delay into any channel or
frequency. When your scanner
stops on a channel or frequency
with a pr ogrammed delay,

appears and the scanner
continues to monitor that channel
or frequency for 2 seconds after
the transmission stops before
resuming scanning, searching, or

You can program a 2-second
delay in any of these ways:

• If the scanner is sc anning and
stops on an active channel,

You might hear one of your regular
stations on anoth er frequen cy that
is not listed. For example, you
might find a service that regularly
uses a frequency of 453.275 also
on 474.675 MHz. Do the foll owing
to determine if you are listening to
an image frequency:

Note the new frequency 474.675
Double the intermediate frequency

of 10.7 MHz (21.400)
and subt ract it from the new

frequency –21.400
If the answer is the regular

frequency 453.275
then you have tuned to an im age.
Occasionally, you might get

interference on a weak or distant

To find the birdies in your
individual scanner, begin by
disconnecting the antenna and
moving it away from the scanner.
Make sure that no other nearby
radio or TV sets are turned on
near the scanner. Use the se arch
function and search every
frequency range from its lowest
frequency to the highest.
Occasionally, the searching will
stop as if it had found a signal,
often without any sound. That is a
birdie. Make a list of all the birdies
in your scanner for future
reference.

(TGSWGPE["%QPXGTUKQP

The tuning location of a station
can be expressed in frequency
(kHz or MHz) or in wavelength
(meters). The following
information can help you make the
necessary conversions.

1 MHz (million) =
1,000 kHz (thousand)

To convert MHz to kHz, multiply
the number of megahertz by
1,000:

30.62 (MHz) x 1000 =

30,620 kH z

To convert from kHz to MHz,
divide the number of kilohertz by
1,000:

127,800 (kHz) / 1000 =

127.8 MHz

To convert MHz to meters, divide
300 by the number of megahertz:

300 / 50 MHz =

6 meters
