them when you are in Scanning Mode.
To resume scanning manually during scanning
pause
Press + or -.
To change scanning direction
Press + or -.
Scanning will restart in ascending direction if you press +,
and in descending direction if you press -.
Note
When you start scanning a new band, scanning will always start in
ascending direction.
To exit Scanning Mode
Press SCAN.
KithWl will disappear from the display and the receiver
enters the Manual Mode. Press again to re-enter the
Scanning Mode.
If you press SCAN for 1 second or longer, the scanning
pause time will go into the 5-second pause mode (see
page 30).
Adjusting the SQL control
Adjustment of the SQL control applies to all modes of
reception.
What the SQL control does
The SQL (squelch) control adjusts the threshold of the
signal intensity that opens the squelch.
When the receiver receives a signal above the threshold,
the squelch will open, i:wta will appear in the display,
and you will hear the transmission sound.
When the squelch opens during scanning, the receiver
stops scanning. This is called a "scanning pause".
As you turn the SQL control counterclockwise to MIN, the
receiver will pause scanning on weaker signals. But this
may cause the receiver to pause scanning on unwanted
noise signals.
As you turn the SQL control clockwise to MAX, the
receiver will cut off the weaker signals and receive only
stronger signals. If it is turned too far clockwise, on the
other hand, there may be no signal strong enough to cause
a scanning pause.
Adjusting the SQL control
Start from the MIN position and turn it
clockwise towards MAX to the point the miM’i
indication disappears in the display.
When there is a signal above the squelch threshold,
will light up and the receiver pauses scanning. Scanning
will resume automatically when the signal breaks off.

Page 7
NOTICE -----------------------—
------------------
If you wish to listen to transmission continuously
(such as when listening to FM broadcast, TV
sound, or Weather broadcast, etc.), be sure to set
SQL to MIN so that the squelch does not close
when the signal gets weak.

Memory Scanning
Memory Scanning scans the frequencies you have preset
in the memory. (To preset a station in the memory, see
page 22). Choose one or more target pages to run Memory
Scanning.
1 Set the SQL control to MIN,

Precautions
Cannot keep the receiver on scanning pause.
• Priority Scanning is <icti\ c and the receic er receix ed the
priority channel (page 26),
• Scanning pause time is set to the 5-.sccond pause mode
(page ,8()).
The display is dim.
• Weak batteries.
—► Replace all batteries with new ones.
• The receiyer is being used in extremely high
temperatures or excessive humidity.
Cannot memorize a frequency
• The memorizing procedure is incorrect (page 22).
Cannot input a frequency with Direct Tuning.
• You took more than 10 seconds between the digits.
• You tried to input a frequency beyond the frequency
range of the receiver.
• Opt-’r«ito tlio sc.inmni; recoi\vr i>niv tm recomim‘nded pifwi'r
stHircos. To use the reeeu ei t.>n AC' pow er, use only the supplied
or the rocomnrended .AC ptn\ er cfdaptor. Do not use r\nN- other
AC petw'cr ciduptor. \'o use tlie rcceix’er on u enr battery, use t>nl\
the reet^mmended ear battery cord. Do not use any other ear
battery eord.
• The nameplate indicatini; the operating \'e>ltage, ptiwer
consumption, ete. is Uicated at the btfttom exterior of the receiver.
• SluHild any solid object or licjuid fall into the set, remove the
batteries and ha\ e tire receivi'r checked bv qualified personnel
before operating it any further.
• Reception ma\ be difficult tfr contain noise in vehicles or in
buildings. Tr\' listening near a window.
• Certain frequencies m.w be difficult to recei\'e due to internal
spurious signals, or birdies, inherent to tlie built-in oscillakirs
used in a recei\’er. If the scanning receix’er always pauses
scanning at a certain frequence but seems to be rcceix'ing no
signal, it may be receiving a birdie. In this case, designate it a
SKIP-frequencv.
• Be sure to adjust VOL to a moderate level before turning on the
pow’er or plugging in the earphone. There will be no sound when
the receiver is scanning. Sudden reception (opening of the
squelch) mav cause unexpected loud sound and may cause
hearing damage.
• If there is lightning w'hen you are using an external antenna,
disconnect AC power immediately from the wall outlet (if
connected). Never touch the antenna during a lightning storm.
On batteries
Do not carry the batteries with coins or other metallic objects. It
can generate heat if the positive and negative terminals of the
batteries are accidentally contacted bv a metallic object.
On handling
• When carrying the receiver, do not hold it by the antenna, the
VOL control, or the SQL control.
•Do not bend or pull the antenna.
•Do not drop the receiver or expose it to mechanical shock. It may
cause a malfunction.
•Do not leave the unit in a location near heat sources, or in a place
subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or sand, moisture, rain,
mechanical shock, or in a car with its windows closed.
•The LCD display mav become hard to see or slow^ down when
using the unit at high temperatures (above 40"C/104T) or at lovv'
temperatures (below O'C/Sl"?). At room temperature, the
display will return to its normal operating condition.
34
On cleaning
When the case becomes soiled, dean it with a soft cloth dampened
with a mild detergent solution. Never use abrasive cleansers or
chemical solvents, as they may mar the case.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your
scanning receiver, please consult your nearest Sony
dealer.
