Mounting Your Scanner in Your Dashboard If you are unsure about how to install your scanner in your vehicle, consult your automobile manufacturer, dealer, or a qualified installer. Before installing, confirm your scanner fits in the desired mounting area and you have all the necessary materials. Your scanner requires a 2 x 7 1/8 x 5 5/16 inch (50 x 180 x 135 mm) mounting area. 1. Remove the four rear screws and pull off the black case before installing your scanner. Page 2
0705 Owner’s Manual 2. Install the DIN sleeve into the opening in your dashboard, lip facing out. 3. Push out the top and bottom tabs to hold the sleeve firmly in place. 4. Slide the scanner into the sleeve until it locks in place. To remove your scanner from the DIN sleeve, insert the two keys straight into the scanner’s front panel. Then remove the scanner by pulling front panel. When mounting in your dashboard, you will need to connect an external antenna and an external speaker. Mobile Mounting in Your Vehicle You can mount your scanner under the dashboard, or on top of it, using the mounting bracket. 1. Attach the three protective rubber feet to the mounting bracket when you use the scanner on a flat surface. Do not use them when you mount the bracket with screws. 2. Use the supplied mounting bracket as a template to mark positions for the two mounting screws. 3. At the marked positions, drill holes slightly smaller than the screws. 4. Remove the paper backing from each washer and stick one inside of each bracket’s ear, aligning the washer’s hole with the bracket’s hole. 5. Attach the mounting bracket to your vehicle’s surface using the supplied screws and lockwashers. 6. Slide the scanner into the bracket, aligning the scanner’s holes with the holes in the bracket, and then screw the mounting knobs into the scanner. When drilling holes, be sure to avoid obstructions behind the mounting surface. Consult a qualified installer if in doubt. Using Your Scanner as a Base Station You can place your scanner on a desk, shelf, or table to use it as a base station. Since the speaker is on the bottom of the scanner, you may want to use the mounting bracket to elevate your scanner off the surface for better sound. Follow the mobile vehicle mounting instructions above to affix your scanner to a desk, shelf, table or other flat surface (except that the bracket will be below the scanner). Page 3
0705 Owner’s Manual POWER YOUR SCANNER You can power your scanner from a wall outlet, through your vehicle’s ignition, or from your vehicle’s cigarette lighter. From a Wall Outlet 1. Connect the tip of the supplied AC adaptor to the DC 13.8V jack at the rear of your scanner. 2. Plug the AC adaptor into your wall outlet. You must use a Class 2 power source that supplies 13.8V DC and delivers at least 600mA. Its center tip must be set to positive and its plug must fit the scanner’s DC 13.8V jack. Using an adaptor that does not meet these specifications could damage the scanner or the adaptor. WARNING: To prevent electric shock, do not use the AC adaptor’s polarized plug with an extension cord, receptacle, or other outlet unless you can fully insert the blades to prevent blade exposure. Through Your Vehicle’s Ignition 1. Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) terminal of your vehicle’s battery. 2. Ground the black wire of the supplied DC power cord to your vehicle’s chassis. Be sure the grounding screw makes complete contact with the metal frame of your vehicle. 3. Connect the red wire of the supplied DC power cord to a voltage source that turns on and off with the ignition switch, such as a spare accessory terminal in your vehicle’s fuse box. 4. Insert the power cord’s barrel plug into the scanner’s DC 13.8V jack. 5. Reconnect the cable to the negative (-) terminal of your vehicle’s battery. From Your Vehicle’s Cigarette Lighter To power your scanner from a 12V power source in your vehicle, such as a cigarette-lighter socket, you need a 12V, 600mA DC cigarette-lighter adaptor (not supplied). Page 4
0705 Owner’s Manual 1. Insert the adapter’s barrel plug into the scanner’s DC 13.8V jack. 2. Plug the adaptor’s other end into your vehicle’s cigarette lighter or power socket. When you use a cigarette-lighter adaptor, you might hear electrical noise from your engine while scanning. This is normal. You must use a power source that supplies 12V DC and delivers at least 600 mA. Its center tip must be set to positive and its plug must fit the scanner’s DC 13.8V jack. Using an adaptor that does not meet these specifications could damage the scanner or the adaptor. Connecting the Antenna To connect an external antenna, always follow the installation instructions supplied with the antenna. Use 50-ohm, RG-58, or RG-8, coaxial cable. If the antenna is over 50 feet from the scanner, use RG-8 low-loss dielectric coaxial cable. To attach the supplied antenna: 1. Align the antenna slots with the tabs on the scanner, and slide the antenna into place. 2. Turn while pushing down until the antenna locks into place. Warning: Use extreme caution when installing or removing an outdoor antenna. If the antenna starts to fall, let it go! It could contact overhead power lines. If the antenna touches a power line, touching the antenna, mast, cable, or guy wires can cause electrocution and death. Call the power company to remove the antenna. DO NOT attempt to do so yourself. Headphones You can plug headphones into your scanner’s headphone jack at the front panel. This automatically mutes the scanner’s speaker. Even though some earphones/headphones let you hear some outside sounds when listening at normal volume levels, they still can present a traffic hazard. To protect your hearing, follow these earphone or headphones guidelines: Page 5
0705 Owner’s Manual . Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high-volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss. . Set the volume to the lowest setting before listening. Turn on the scanner, and adjust the volume to a comfortable level. . After you set the volume, do not increase it. Over time, your ears adapt to the volume level, so a volume level that does not cause discomfort might still damage your hearing. External Speaker When you mount your scanner in your dashboard, you will need to connect an external speaker. Connect the external speaker to the EXT SP jack at the rear panel. Keytones The scanner sounds a tone each time you press a key. To set the keytone: 1. Turn on the scanner. “Multi-system Trunking Scanner” appears. 2. While “Multi-system Trunking Scanner” appears, press 1 to turn on the keytone or 2 to turn it off. Dimmer Repeatedly press DIM to adjust the brightness of the display backlight to Dark, Light Off, or Light. Squelch and Attenuator The squelch and attenuator help you control your scanner’s sensitivity. If you hear a hissing sound, the scanner will remain on an active channel, even after a disconnect tone or a stopped transmission. If you set the squelch precisely at the threshold where the hissing sound stops, the scanner may pick up unwanted, partial, or very weak transmissions. To prevent this, most users prefer a position a bit past the threshold. With the attenuator on, the scanner might not receive weak signals. You can reduce interference using two attenuator modes: . Global . (Default) The attenuator setting is applied to all channels, bands, or groups. . Normal . Lets you set the attenuator in each channel, band, or group. Page 6
0705 Owner’s Manual To set squelch: 1. Turn off the scanner and turn SQUELCH fully counterclockwise. 2. Turn on the scanner. You should hear a hissing sound. 3.

To set Global mode, press FUNC and then ATT. On the display “G” appears. 2. To set the attenuator for each channel, press FUNC and then ATT. On the display “G” disappears. For each channel: . To turn on the attenuator, press ATT. “A” appears. . To turn off the attenuator, press ATT again. “A” disappears. You cannot set the attenuator while scanning. Delay Some conversations might take several seconds between transmissions. To avoid missing a reply, a delay is automatically set for each channel. The scanner stops for 2 seconds after a transmission stops before it resumes scanning or searching. To turn on/off the delay: 1. Press ./DELAY. DLY appears if the delay is on. 2. To turn on the delay, press ./DELAY again. “dly” appears if the delay is off. Scanner Setup A frequency, expressed in kHz or MHz, is the tuning location of a station. Your scanner saves frequencies to channels and groups the channels into banks. The scanner’s 10 banks each hold 100 channels (1,000 channels total). Page 7
0705 Owner’s Manual The scanner is preset to the most common AM or FM receive modes for each frequency range. However, some amateur transmissions may operate in a different mode. If the transmission sounds weak or distorted, you may have the channel set to the wrong receive mode: AM – Amplitude Modulation, primarily used for aircraft, military, some amateur and government transmissions. FM – Frequency Modulation, used for most public safety transmissions, broadcast, business, and amateur radio transmissions. CT – FM transmissions with Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System (CTCSS) DC – FM transmissions with Digital Coded Squelch (DCS) MO – Motorola Trunking System ED – EDACS Trunking System LT – LTR Trunking System If you change the receive mode using MODE key, the scanner shows the receive mode for small caps (ex. fm, am, ct, or dc). If you want to change the default setting, press FUNC then press MODE. Defining a Channel To define a channel: 1. Press MAN. 2.

Spectrum Sweeper Spectrum Sweeper provides a powerful tool to rapidly detect, monitor and save frequencies of nearby or high-power transmissions. Spectrum Sweeper resembles more expensive portable frequency counters, but provides many advantages over typical portable frequency counters. Spectrum Sweeper is more sensitive than portable frequency counters and will detect transmissions at a greater distance. Spectrum Sweeper rapidly searches the RF spectrum in 1 MHz segments. If it detects a signal, Spectrum Sweeper searches in finer steps until the signal source is found. Spectrum Sweeper can search all frequencies, or you can define frequency ranges, to avoid ranges with constant activity, such as paging or broadcast transmitters. To use Spectrum Sweeper: Page 14
0705 Owner’s Manual 1. Hold the Spectrum Sweeper button (SS-SYMBOL) for approximately 1 second. 2. To change the scanned band (All Band or Police/Fire), press FUNC then (SS-SYMBOL).

Priority mode is not available while using the Spectrum Sweeper . Special Spectrum Sweeper Special Spectrum Sweeper divides the frequency range by 1 MHz segments. If you lock out 5 frequencies within 1 MHz segment, the scanner will skip that segment in subsequent sweeps. To use Special Spectrum Sweeper : 1. Press FUNC. 2. Use /¥ or ¥/ to select “Sp. Sweeper” appears for Special Spectrum Sweeper . 3. To turn off Special Spectrum Sweeper, press FUNC and then /¥ or ¥/ again. Locking Out Frequencies When you lock out frequencies during a search, the scanner continues searching, but ignores the locked out frequencies. You can lock out up to 50 frequencies in each bank. If you try to lock out more, “L/O Memory Full!” appears. While using Spectrum Sweeper, you can lock out 150 frequencies if searching all bands and 50 frequencies while searching PubSafety frequencies. If you lock out 5 frequencies within a 1 MHz segment, the scanner will skip that segment in subsequent sweeps. If you lock out all the frequencies in a search bank and only that search bank is activated, “All ranges Locked out!” appears and the scanner does not search. Spectrum Sweeper still performs a fine step search for locked out signals. Spectrum Sweeper will not stop Page 15

If the frequency is incorrect, “Invalid Freq” appears briefly. Weather Alerts The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has allocated channels for use by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). NOAA broadcasts Specific Area Message Encoding (SAME) alerts that include digitally encoded data about the severity of the alert. Regulatory agencies in other countries have also allocated channels for use by their weather reporting authorities. If you program a weather channel as the Priority channel, your scanner can detect the 1050 Hz weather alert tone. All alerts are received (FIPS settings are ignored), and the scanner stays on the Priority channel only if the scanner detects a weather alert. To perform a weather scan: To hear your local forecast and regional weather information, press WX. Your scanner scans through the weather band then stops within a few seconds on the next available weather broadcast. To program a weather channel: 1. Press WX. 2. Select the weather channel. 3. Press FUNC and then PRI. Page 19
0705 Owner’s Manual SAME Standby Mode SAME alerts include FIPS codes to identify areas, established by the US Census bureau. You can set your scanner to alert for all areas or limit weather alerts to up to 10 specific areas by FIPS code. The National Weather Service maintains a current list of FIPS codes at www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr/. To configure your scanner for SAME Standby mode, follow these steps: 1. Press WX until you identify the weather station with the strongest signal for your location. 2. Press FUNC, and then PGM to access the FIPS code entry table. 3. Use the /¥ or ¥/ keys to select the desired FIPS code storage location. 4. Use the numeric keys to enter the desired FIPS code, and then press ENT to store the code. Repeat this process for all the FIPS codes that you wish to store. Subdivisions State Code County Code 0-9 (0=entire area) 01-50 (00=all states) XXX (000=all counties) Example: 048439 (0=All; 48=Texas; 439=Tarrant County) 5. Press L/OUT to lock out or enable specific FIPS entries. 6. Press WX to exit the FIPS code entry table. Notes: . Press WX then a number key to quickly review stored FIPS codes. Press L/OUT to toggle lockout status. . The scanner sounds an alert or beep when it receives the SAME code. If you do not stop the alert (or beep) for five minutes, the alert stops and the scanner beeps every ten seconds. If the scanner receives a new message after five minutes, it sounds the alert or beep. To stop the sound and ready the scanner to receive a new alert signal before the five minute time out, press any key except DIM. 7. Press FUNC, and then WX to initiate SAME standby. The scanner will monitor the selected weather radio station for alerts with FIPS codes that match the codes you entered in the FIPS entry table. Note: The scanner searches the weather frequencies while SAME standby mode when squelch is off. To exit SAME standby, press FUNC, and then WX. Page 20
0705 Owner’s Manual To test the weather alert: 1. Press WX. Your scanner scans through the weather bands. 2. Set the Squelch to the lowest setting so that you hear static. 3. Press FUNC and then WX. “SAME Standby” appears. 4. Hold ENT for about 2 seconds. The display indicates the type of message, and the scanner sounds an alert or series of beeps. 5. Press any key except DIM to stop testing. Skywarn Skywarn is an organized group of trained weather observers. Using Skywarn, you can hear trained observers in your area call in official reports to a control station that relays those reports to NOAA and other emergency agencies. Before using this feature, save local Skywarn frequencies for your area into Channel 999. To use Skywarn: Hold the Skywarn button (SKY). Skywarn appears. If the skywarn channel is empty, “Not programmed” appears. Monitoring When monitoring, the scanner remains on a single channel. Your scanner features a power save circuit that allows the scanner to “sleep” briefly while waiting for a call on a monitored channel. To monitor a channel: 1. Press MAN. Page 21
0705 Owner’s Manual 2. Use the number keys to enter the channel number and press MAN. To find a frequency to monitor: 1. Press TUNE. The currently-tuned frequency and “*** PAUSED ***” appear. 2. (Optional) Use the number keys to change the frequency and press ENT. 3. Press PAUSE. The scanner searches for a frequency. To change the tune direction, press /¥ or ¥/. When the scanner finds an active frequency, it stops. 4. Press PAUSE to monitor the frequency. The transmission signal level is indicated by the 5 dots. To set a default tuning frequency: 1. Press MAN. 2. (Optional) Use the number keys to enter the frequency number. 3. Press FUNC, then TUNE. The scanner saves the frequency. For example, if you save the frequency 145.31000 MHz, the next time you press TUNE, the scanner starts tuning at 145.31000 MHz. Trunking Setup Instead of transmitting on a specific frequency, trunking systems choose one of several frequencies during a 2-way radio transmission and simultaneously transmit a Talk Group ID that identifies the 2-way radio user. This allows trunking systems to allocate fewer frequencies to multiple 2-way radio users. Defining a Trunking Bank You can define any of the 10 banks as a trunking bank, but each bank can only scan for one system: Motorola, EDACS (GE/Ericsson), or LTR (EF Johnson). Trunking banks can contain both trunking and non-trunking channels. To define a Trunking Bank: Page 22
0705 Owner’s Manual 1. Press PROG, then press TRUNK to enter the ID program mode. 2. Press FUNC, then use /¥ or ¥/ to select a bank. 3. Repeatedly press MODE to select a trunking mode (Motorola, EDACS, or LTR). 4. Press PROG. Trunking Modes In Closed mode, the scanner stops only on transmissions with saved and unlocked Talk Group IDs. This lets you focus a scan on the frequencies you have identified, ignoring other transmissions. In Open mode, the scanner stops for transmissions on any unlocked channel. This lets you search for Talk Group IDs that you can then save. While scanning, “–“ appears for Closed mode and “+” appears for Open mode under the channel storage bank’s number. When the scanner stops on a channel, ”OPEN” or “CLOSED” appears. To set Open or Closed mode for a bank: 1. Press MAN. 2. Use /¥ or ¥/ to select a bank. 3. Press FUNC then DELAY. “Bank OPEN” or “Bank CLOSED” appears. Saving Trunking Channels Trunking channels are defined using the same procedure for non-trunking channels. In each bank, you can mix channel modes, including conventional, but you can scan only one trunking mode at a time, either EDACS, Motorola, or LTR. Trunked modes (MO, ED, and LT) can only be selected for frequencies above 137 MHz that use trunking operations. Motorola control frequencies change daily, you should save all the control frequencies in the same bank. If you do not know the control frequency, save all the Motorola frequencies in the same bank. Page 23
0705 Owner’s Manual EDACS frequencies are assigned Logical Channel Numbers (LCN) and organized in a specific order. To scan correctly, you must program the frequencies in LCN order, starting with Memory 01. Motorola Trunking Setup Motorola systems can allocate as few as five frequencies to up to several thousand groups of users in three categories: . Type I – User groups are assigned to fleets. To scan, you must program a fleet map into the scanner. .Type II – The Talk Group ID contains 4- or 5-digit number. .Hybrid – Combines Type I and Type II formats. Fleet Maps For Motorola Type I and hybrid systems, you must program a fleet map before saving Talk Group IDs. To program a fleet map: 1. Press PROG then TRUNK. 2. Press FUNC, then press /¥ or ¥/ to select the bank. 3. If necessary, repeatedly press MODE to select “Motorola.” 4. Press FUNC, then press 8. “Size Code Setting” appears, with Block 0 selected. 5.

Press ENT. The next block appears. 7. Repeat steps 5-6 for each block. If you make a mistake, press CLEAR and enter the correct size code. Base and Offset Frequencies To receive Motorola VHF and UHF system transmissions, you must program applicable base and offset frequencies. In the 800 MHz trunking band, you can select a base frequency (normal or offset), but in the 900 MHz trunking band, you do not need to set the base frequency. You can get information about base and offset frequencies from www.trunkscanner.com. UHF-Lo (406-512 MHz) To program Motorola base and offset frequencies: 1. Press PROG then TRUNK to enter the ID program mode. 2. Press FUNC, then press /¥ or ¥/. The bank number increases or decreases by one. If you hold down /¥ or ¥/, the bank number increases or decreases continuously. 3. If necessary, repeatedly press MODE to select “Motorola.” 4. Press FUNC then 2.

The bank number increases or decreases by one. If you hold down /¥ or ¥/, the bank number increases or decreases continuously. 3. If necessary, repeatedly press MODE to select “Motorola.” 4. Press FUNC then 3. NORMAL appears. 5. Press /¥ or ¥/ to select NORMAL or SPLINTER and press ENT. If you are uncertain about the base frequency, use NORMAL. The base frequency in NORMAL is 851.0125 MHz. The base frequency in SPLINTER is 851.0000 MHz. If you cannot receive with the NORMAL setting, change to SPLINTER. EDACS Trunking Setup EDACS (GE/Ericsson) systems transmit Talk Group ID data on a dedicated control channel. Scanning requires clear reception of the control channel at all times, so EDACS systems generally have a smaller usable area. You can manually select the data channel, but an external antenna can greatly improve EDACS scanning. If you are programming frequencies for an EDACS system, you must store them in the Logical Channel Number order (usually listed as LCN#). LTR Trunking Setup Page 26
0705 Owner’s Manual LTR systems, assign each frequency a Home Repeater (HR) number, and are frequently programmed with unique ID codes for each radio. LTR Talk Group IDs are organized in a specific order, and to scan, you must program the frequencies in HR order. LTR systems are used primarily by businesses, such as taxicabs, delivery trucks, and repair services. LTR systems use a Home Repeater as part of their Talk Group ID. To save a correct Home Repeater: 1. Save the LTR channels in any order. 2. Set the bank to Open mode. 3. Manually select LT channels and watch the LTR data on the display. Your scanner displays the LTR Talk Group ID and a number preceded by “R.” The “R” number is the Home Repeater number for the transmission. 4. The assigned Home Repeater channel must equal the Home Repeater number. For example, R12 must be programmed into Channel 12. Searching for Talk Group IDs If you tune the scanner to an active Motorola control channel, the Motorola System ID and the approximate control channel message decode success rate appears. This helps you identify the system and the reception quality. When the scanner decodes control channel data from a Motorola system, COTRL appears on the display. To search for Talk Group IDs: 1. Set the bank to Open mode. 2. Press SCAN. The scanner scans through all unlocked channels in the active banks. 3. When the scanner stops on a transmission, press TRUNK. The scanner displays the ID location: Sub-bank. ID location. 0-4 00-29 Page 27
0705 Owner’s Manual Example: 2-01 If the ID has already been saved, “ID was saved” appears. If you try to store more than 150 talk group IDs in a bank, “Memory Full!” appears. Saving a Talk Group ID Each of the 10 banks contains 5 sub-banks that each hold 30 Talk Group IDs. (You can save up to 1,500 Talk Group IDs.) When the scanner receives a trunked transmission, it searches the associated sub-bank for the Talk Group ID to decode data for Motorola, EDACS (GE/Ericsson), and LTR (EF Johnson) systems. To define a Talk Group ID: 1. Press PROG, then press TRUNK to enter the ID program mode. 2. Press FUNC, then use /¥ or ¥/ to select a bank. 3. Repeatedly press MODE to select a trunking mode (Motorola, EDACS, or LTR). 4. Repeatedly press TRUNK to select the sub-bank. 5. Press /¥ or ¥/ to select the location where to store the Talk Group ID. 6. Use the number keys and decimal point key to enter the Talk Group ID: If you make a mistake, “Invalid ID value” appears when you press ENT. Go back to Step 3. If you entered an ID that is already stored in same bank, “Dupl. ID of X-XX” appears. To store the ID code, press ENT. To cancel, press CLEAR. You can enter either a decimal or AFS code for ED IDs. The default setting is decimal ID entry. When you press FUNC then 2, “AFS Format” appears for about 2 seconds. Now you can enter the ID code with AFS format. 7. To store the next ID memory in sequence, press /¥ and repeat step 6. Deleting Talk Group IDs You can delete an individual Talk Group ID or all Talk Group IDs in a bank. Page 28
0705 Owner’s Manual To delete a Talk Group ID: 1. Press PROG then TRUNK. 2. Press FUNC, /¥ or ¥/ to select ID memory. 3. Press FUNC then CLEAR. To delete ALL talk group IDs in a bank: 1. Press PROG. 2. Press TRUNK to enter a Talk Group ID memory mode. 3. Select a Talk Group ID bank using FUNC, /¥ or ¥/. 4. Press FUNC then 6. “Clear entire list? Press 1 to clear all, any other key aborts” appears. 5. To clear the Talk Group IDs, Press 1. To cancel the deletion, press any key except 1. Trunk Scanning In each bank, you can scan only one trunking mode at a time, either EDACS, Motorola, or LTR. You can, however, mix conventional channels and frequencies in a bank. 1. Press SCAN. The scanner scans through all unlocked channels in the active banks. If necessary, you turn off the bank which stores conventional channels. For Motorola channels, your scanner displays the Talk Group ID memory location, received frequency, VC (voice channel), and the Motorola ID number. 2. To change the scanning direction, press /¥ or ¥/. Your scanner automatically mutes the audio while it decodes control channel data. However, we recommend you turn SQ clockwise and leave it set to a point just after the hiss stops. This lets the scanner quickly acquire the data channel. For Motorola trunking systems, more than one talk group can transmit at a time. If you manually tune the Page 29
0705 Owner’s Manual scanner, you will hear the talk group on that channel, but the display will alternate between all active Talk Group IDs. For EDACS and Motorola (above 406 MHz range), the scanner monitors the control channel between each transmission to identify talk groups. For some Motorola (under 512 MHz range) and LTR systems, the scanner uses the subaudible data sent with each transmission to identify talk groups. Trunking Delay You can set a Talk Group ID delay separately from the channel delay. When active, the scanner checks the Talk Group ID for the delay time when a transmission ends. To set a Talk Group ID delay: 1. Press FUNC then ./DELAY while you are programming the Trunk Group ID. “ENTER key saves. 2.0 seconds” appears. 2. Use /¥ or ¥/ to set ID Delay: None, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, or 4.0 seconds. 3. Press ENT. Locking Out Talk Group IDs You can only lock out Talk Group IDs when the scanner is in the Closed mode. To lock out Talk Group IDs: 1. Press PROG then TRUNK. 2. Press FUNC, /¥ or ¥/ to move to the desired bank. 3. Press /¥ or ¥/ to select the ID. 4. Press L/OUT to lock out the ID. “lo” changes to “LO.” 5. To remove the lockout from a trunking ID, manually select the ID memory, and press L/OUT. “LO” changes to “lo.” You cannot clear all lockouts from a talk group at the same time. Page 30
0705 Owner’s Manual To review locked-out Talk Group IDs: 1. Press PROG then TRUNK. 2. Press FUNC. Then L/OUT. The first locked out ID appears. If the ID memory bank has no locked-out ID, you hear the low beep tone. 3. Press /¥ or ¥/ to scroll through the list. 4. Press PROG to exit. Turning Off Sub-Banks To turn off a sub-bank: 1. Press TRUNK repeatedly to select the desired sub-bank. 2. Press FUNC then 1 to turn the sub-bank on if it is off or off if it is on. To turn off a sub-bank while scanning: 1. When the scanner stops on a transmission, press FUNC. 2. Press TRUNK. The display indicates which sub-bank is turned on or off. The active sub-bank number appears. 3. Press FUNC and the number of the sub-bank you desire to turn on or off. For example to turn sub-bank 4 on or off, press FUNC. Then press 4. This function activates when the receiving channel bank is Closed mode. Talk Group ID Hold You can set your scanner to follow a trunking signal that you want to track during scanning. To set Talk Group ID Hold: 1. While the scanner is stopped on a voice channel (VC appears), hold down TRUNK until “ID hold ON” Page 31
0705 Owner’s Manual appears. When the scanner receives a transmission, the “S” on the display changes to “H.” 2. To release ID hold, press SCAN or TRUNK. Scanner Maintenance .

Troubleshooting The scanner is not working at all. What’s wrong? The AC/DC adaptor or DC cable might not be connected. Be sure the cable’s barrel plug is fully inserted into the DC 13.8V jack. The center tip of the cable’s barrel plug must be set to positive. If the scanner does not operate when you connect a DC adaptor or DC cable, unplug the DC adaptor or cable from the power source and clean the socket, or check the adaptor’s internal fuse. The scanner does not receive any stations or reception is poor. What’s wrong? Check the antenna. Check the squelch. Check the Attenuator. The scanner might need to be initialized. Turn the scanner off then on again, or initialize the scanner. The scanner is on but does not scan. What’s wrong? The squelch might not be adjusted correctly. Turn SQ clockwise. There might only be one channel or no channels stored in the scanner. Save more frequencies into channels. Birdie Frequencies All scanners have signals created inside the scanner’s receiver. These birdie frequencies can interfere Page 34
0705 Owner’s Manual with transmissions on the same frequencies. If the interference is not severe, you might be able to turn SQ clockwise to omit the birdie. To find the birdies: 1. Disconnect 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. 2. Start a search of every frequency range from its lowest frequency to the highest. When the search stops, often without any sound, this is a birdie. 3. Make a list of all the birdies in your scanner for future reference. Initializing the Scanner If the scanner’s display locks up or does not work properly after you connect a power source or install batteries, you might need to initialize it. This procedure clears the scanner’s memory. Initialize the scanner only after trying all other methods to correct issues. To initialize the scanner: 1. Turn off the scanner, then turn it on again. “Multi-system Trunking Scanner” appears. 2. While “Multi-system Trunking Scanner” appears, press 0. 3. Press 1. 4. Press ENT. “Initializing please stand by” appears for about 5 seconds. When the initialization is complete, M000 appears on the second line of the display. Bank 0 Ch 00 appears. Do not turn off the scanner until the initialization is complete. Service and Repair If your scanner is not performing as it should, take it to your local store for assistance. Modifying or tampering with the scanner’s internal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. Page 35
0705 Owner’s Manual Scanning Legally Your scanner covers frequencies used by many different groups including police and fire departments, ambulance services, 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 intentionally listen to. These include: . telephone conversations (cellular, cordless, or other private means of telephone signal transmission) . pager transmissions . any scrambled or encrypted transmissions According to the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA), as amended, 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 communication (unless such activity is otherwise illegal). This scanner is designed to prevent reception of illegal transmissions, in compliance with the law which requires that scanners be manufactured in such a way as to not be easily modifiable to pick up those transmissions. Do not open your scanner’s case to make any modifications that could allow it to pick up transmissions that it is not legal to listen to. Doing so could subject you to legal penalties. In some areas, mobile use of this scanner is unlawful or requires a permit. Check the laws in your area. It is also illegal in many areas to interfere with the duties of public safety officials by traveling to the scene of an incident without authorization. We encourage responsible, legal scanner use. FCC Notice This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a scanning receiver, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

References Appendix A: Glossary Frequency – The signal (expressed in MHz) used by broadcasting radios. To find active frequencies, you can use frequency guides, frequency lists posted on the Internet, or your scanner’s search function. Bank – A storage unit for a group of channels. A channel contains one frequency, and a bank can hold up to 100 channels. Channel – A programmable memory locations for a single frequency. Talk Group ID – A simultaneous trunking transmission that identifies 2-way radio users. This allows trunking systems to allocate a few frequencies to multiple 2-way radio users. Sub-bank – group that subdivides to the bank further in the bank. Appendix B: Search Banks Note: All scanners tune by steps. Your scanner uses steps consistent with the latest US or worldwide standards. If you enter a non-valid step frequency, any scanner will tune to the next step. Some scanner designs do this without showing the correct step in the display. This scanner will show the actual tuned frequency in the display. Because steps are so close together, the audio quality will not be affected by the offset.
