Limit-Search Memory

When you change your scanner's mode from limit search to manual, program, scan, direct search, and so on, your scanner

retains the last frequency before you change the mode. Your scanner resumes the search from that frequency when you

change the mode to limit search again.

Note: You can change the upper

or

lower limit frequency without affecting the memorized frequency if the frequency is within the new limit range. If the frequency is out of the new limit range, the search starts from the new upper frequency.

USING THE DELAY FEATURE

SETTING THE SCANNING SPEED

Many agencies use two-way radio systems that might have a period of several seconds between a query and a reply. To

keep from missing a reply, program a delay on the channels you identify delay, manually select the channel, and press [DELAY]. "DELAY" appears ning through channels, your scanner pauses for two seconds after the completion of each transmission on that

channel before resuming scanning. Some radio systems, especially those above

To ensure the best possibility of hearing the full reply, you want the scanner to begin scanning immediately when the first transmission ends. ensure that "DELAY" cated, press [DELAY] to turn off this feature for that channel.

Use and store the PRO-2005 only in normal temperature environments. High temperatures can

shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.

Keep the PRO-2005 away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts.

Wipe the PRO-2005 with a dampened cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh ch'emicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the PRO-2005.

Modifying or tampering with the PRO-2005's internal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate the PRO2005's warranty. If your PRO-2005 assist you and arrange for service if needed.
