FEATURES
Your new 0711 200 Channel VHF/Air/UHF Handheld Scanner lets you scan conventional
transmissions, and is preprogrammed with search banks for convenience. By pressing a
one touch search key, you can quickly search those frequencies most commonly used by
public service and other agencies without tedious and complicated programming.
Page 2
0711 Owner’s Manual
This scanner gives you direct access to over 22,000 exciting frequencies, including those
used by police and fire departments, ambulance services, aircraft, and amateur radio
services, and you can change your selection at any time.
Your scanner also has these special features:
Spectrum Sweeper – a powerful new tool for you to rapidly detect, monitor and store
frequencies for nearby radio transmissions.
One Touch Search Banks — let you search preset frequencies in separate marine,
fire/police, aircraft, ham, and weather banks, to make it easy to locate specific types of calls.
Display Backlight — makes the scanner easy to read in low-light situations.
Lockout Function — lets you set your scanner to skip over specified channels or frequencies
when scanning or searching.
Ten Channel-Storage Banks — you can store 20 channels in each bank (200 total channels),
letting you group channels so you can more easily identify calls.
Tune — lets you tune for new and unlisted frequencies starting from a specified frequency.
SAME/FIPS Weather Alert — displays the weather event for the specific cities or counties
you choose so you can hear the alert tone.
Memory Backup — keeps the frequencies stored in memory for an extended time even
without internal batteries.
Scan Delay — delays scanning for about 2 seconds before moving to another channel, so
you can hear more replies that are transmitted on the same channel.
Priority Channel — lets you program a channel as the priority channel. As the scanner scans,
it checks the priority channel every 2 seconds so you do not miss transmissions on that
channel.
Page 3
0711 Owner’s Manual
Data Cloning — lets you transfer the programmed data to another 0711 scanner.
Key Lock — lets you lock the scanner’s keys to help prevent accidentally changing the
scanner’s programming.
Liquid-Crystal Display — makes it easy to view and change programming information.
Supplied Flexible Antenna with BNC Connector — provides good reception of strong local
signals. You can connect an external antenna with a BNC connector to the scanner for
improved reception of distant/weaker signals.
Three Power Options — you can power the scanner from internal (rechargeable or
non-rechargeable batteries) or external AC or DC power (using an supplied AC or optional
DC adapter).

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), 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
Page 5
0711 Owner’s Manual
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 manufactured so 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 are illegal to monitor. 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, safe and legal scanner use.
PREPARATION
POWER SOURCES
You can power your scanner from any of three sources:
• internal non-rechargeable batteries or rechargeable batteries (not supplied – see “Using
Batteries”).
• standard AC power (with an supplied AC adapter – see ”Using AC Power” on Page XX).
• vehicle power (with an optional DC adapter – see “Using Vehicle Battery Power” on Page
XX).
Notes:
• Connecting an AC or DC adapter to the scanner disconnects internal batteries when you
use the supplied non-rechargeable battery holder, but it does not disconnect internal
batteries when you use the supplied rechargeable battery holder.
• If you install the rechargeable battery holder, you can operate the scanner and recharge
the rechargeable batteries at the same time. See “Using Batteries” and “Charging
Rechargeable Batteries” on Page XX.
• If the scanner stops working properly after connecting it to power, try resetting it. See
“Initializing the Scanner” on Page XX).
Page 6
0711 Owner’s Manual
USING BATTERIES
You can power the scanner with four AA batteries (not supplied). For the longest operation
and best performance, we recommend alkaline batteries.
You can use either the supplied non-rechargeable battery holder (black), or the supplied
rechargeable battery holder (yellow). If you use the rechargeable battery holder, we
recommend nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) batteries.
Warning: Never install non-rechargeable batteries in the rechargeable yellow battery holder.
Non-rechargeable batteries can get hot or explode if you try to recharge them.
Note: You must charge rechargeable batteries before you use them the first time. See
“Charging Rechargeable Batteries” on Page XX.
Cautions:
• The battery holder fits only one way. Do not force it.
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.
• Always remove old or weak batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that destroy electronic
circuits.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (alkaline, or rechargeable), or
rechargeable batteries of different capacities.
• If you do not plan to use the scanner with batteries for a month or longer, remove the
batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.
Follow these steps to install batteries.
1. Press in on the battery compartment cover on the back of the scanner and slide the cover
down to remove it.
2. Pull the battery holder out of the battery compartment.
3. If you are using non-rechargeable batteries, place them into the black holder, as indicated
by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked on the holder. Or, if you are using rechargeable
batteries, place them into the yellow holder, as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and –)
marked on the holder.
Page 7
0711 Owner’s Manual
4. Place the battery holder into the battery compartment.
5. Replace the cover.
When battery power is low, B appears and the scanner beeps continuously. When battery
power is depleted, the scanner turns itself off. Replace all four non-rechargeable batteries,
or recharge the rechargeable batteries. See “Charging Rechargeable Batteries” on Page
XX.
Warning: Always dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury them.
CHARGING RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES
Your scanner has a built-in charging circuit that lets you charge nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH)
or nickel cadmium (Ni-CD) rechargeable batteries (not supplied) while they are in the
scanner. To charge rechargeable batteries, you need to use a supplied AC adaptor. To
charge batteries with a DC adapter from a DC power source, you must use a 9V, 400mA DC
adaptor with 4.75mm outer/1.7mm inner plug.
It takes about 16 hours to recharge fully discharged 1600mAh Ni-MH rechargeable batteries.
You can operate the scanner while recharging the rechargeable batteries, but charging
takes longer.
Notes:
• The scanner can also charge Ni-Cd batteries. 600mAh batteries require 6 hours and
850mAh batteries require 8 hours to charge.
• When you charge Ni-Cd batteries, do not over charge them. Overcharging shortens battery
life.
• Rechargeable batteries last longer and deliver more power if you let them fully discharge
once a month. To do this, use the scanner until B appears. Then fully charge the
rechargeable batteries.
USING AC POWER
You can power the scanner using a supplied AC adaptor.
Page 8
0711 Owner’s Manual
Cautions:
! You must use a Class 2 power source that supplies 9V DC and delivers at least 400 mA.
Its center tip must be set to positive and its plug must fit the scanner's PWR DC 9V jack.
Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the scanner or the
adaptor.
• Always connect the AC adapter to the scanner before you connect it to AC power. When
you finish, disconnect the adapter from AC power before you disconnect it from the scanner.
• The correct orientation for the enclosed power adaptor is in a vertical or floor-mount
position.
To power the scanner using an AC adaptor, connect the plug into the scanner’s PWR DC 9V
jack. Then connect the AC adaptor to a standard AC outlet.
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.
USING VEHICLE BATTERY POWER
You can power the scanner from a vehicle’s 12V power source (such as cigarette-lighter
socket) using a 9V, 400-mA DC adaptor with 4.75mm outer/1.7mm inner plug. Its center tip
must be set to positive and its plug must fit the scanner's PWR DC 9V jack. Using an
adaptor that does not meet these specifications could damage the scanner or the adaptor.
Cautions: Always connect the DC adaptor to the scanner before you connect it to the power
source. When you finish, disconnect the adaptor from the power source before you
disconnect it from the scanner.
To power the scanner using a DC adaptor, connect the plug into the scanner’s PWR DC 9V
jack. Plug the other end of the DC adaptor into your vehicle’s cigarette-lighter socket.
Note: If you use a cigarette-lighter power cable and your vehicle’s engine is running, you
might hear electrical noise from the engine while scanning. This is normal.
CONNECTING THE SUPPLIED ANTENNA
Page 9
0711 Owner’s Manual
To attach the supplied flexible antenna to the antenna jack on top of your scanner, align the
slots around the antenna’s connector with the tabs on the antenna jack. Press the antenna
down over the jack and turn the antenna’s base clockwise until it locks into place.
Connecting an Outdoor Antenna
The antenna connector on your scanner makes it easy to use the scanner with a variety of
antennas, such as an external mobile antenna or outdoor base station antenna.
Always use 50 Ohm coaxial cable, such as RG-58 or RG-8, to connect an outdoor antenna.
For lengths over 50 feet, use RG-8 low-loss dielectric coaxial cable. If the antenna cable’s
connector does not have a BNC connector, you will also need a BNC adapter.
Follow the installation instructions supplied with the antenna, route the antenna cable to the
scanner, then connect it to the antenna jack.
Warning: Use extreme caution when you 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, contact with 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.
CONNECTING AN EARPHONE/HEADPHONES
For private listening, you can plug an 1/8 -inch (3.5-mm) mini-plug earphone or headphones
(not supplied), into the (headphone symbol mark) jack on the top of the scanner. This
automatically disconnects the internal speaker.
Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use an earphone or headphones.
• Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening. After you begin listening,
adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
• Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high-volume listening can lead to
permanent hearing loss.
Page 10
0711 Owner’s Manual
• Once 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.
Traffic Safety
Do not wear an earphone or headphones with your scanner when operating a motor vehicle
or riding a bicycle in or near traffic. Doing so can create a traffic hazard and could be illegal
in some areas.
If you use an earphone or headphones with your scanner while riding a bicycle, be very
careful. Do not listen to a continuous broadcast. Even though some earphones and
headphones let you hear some outside sounds when you listen at normal levels, they still
can present a traffic hazard.
CONNECTING AN EXTENSION SPEAKER
In a noisy area, an amplified extension speaker (not supplied), might provide more
comfortable listening. Plug the speaker cable’s 1/8 inch (3.5 mm) mini-plug into your
scanner’s (headphone symbol mark) jack.
Note: You must use an amplified speaker with this scanner. Non-amplified speakers do not
provide sufficient volume for comfortable listening.
USING THE BELT CLIP
You can use the belt clip attached to the back of the scanner for hands-free carrying when
you are on the go. Slide the belt clip over your belt or waistband.
ABOUT YOUR SCANNER
Once you understand a few simple 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 communications you want to receive, then set the scanner to scan them.
A frequency is the receiving signal location (expressed in kHz or MHz). To find active
Page 11
0711 Owner’s Manual
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 location called a
channel, which is grouped with other channels in a channel-storage bank. You can then
scan the channel-storage banks to see if there is activity on the frequencies stored there.
Each time the scanner finds an active frequency, it stays on that channel until the
transmission ends.

UNDERSTANDING BANKS
Channel Storage Banks
A bank is a storage area for a group of channels. Channels are storage areas for
frequencies. Whereas a channel can only contain one frequency, a bank can hold numerous
Page 14
0711 Owner’s Manual
channels.
To make it easier to identify and select the channels you want to listen to, your scanner
divides the channels into 10 banks (1 to 10) of 20 channels each, a total of 200 channels.
You can use each channel-storage bank to group frequencies, such as those used by the
police department, fire department, ambulance services, or aircraft.
For example, a police department might use four frequencies, one for each side of town.
You could program the police frequencies starting with Channel 1 (the first channel in bank
1) and program the fire department frequencies starting with Channel 21 (the first channel in
bank 2).
One Touch Banks
The scanner is preprogrammed with the frequencies allocated by marine, fire/police, aircraft,
ham radio, and weather services. This is handy for quickly finding active frequencies instead
of searching through an entire band (see “Searching the One Touch Banks” on Page XX).
Note: The frequencies in the scanner’s service banks are preset. You cannot change them.

OPERATION
TURNING ON THE SCANNER/SETTING VOLUME AND SQUELCH
1. Turn SQUELCH until the indicator points to MIN before you turn on the scanner.
2. To turn on the scanner, turn VOLUME clockwise. WELCOME message appears. After
about 3 seconds, you might hear a hissing sound. Then adjust VOLUME to a comfortable
listening level.
3. Turn SQUELCH clockwise, just until the hissing sound stops.
Notes:
• To listen to a weak or distant station, turn SQUELCH counterclockwise. If reception is poor,
turn SQUELCH clockwise to cut out weak transmissions.
• If SQUELCH is adjusted so you always hear a hissing sound, the scanner will not scan or
search properly.
4. To turn off the scanner when you finish, turn VOLUME counterclockwise to OFF.
STORING KNOWN FREQUENCIES INTO CHANNELS
Follow these steps to store frequencies into channels.
Page 18
0711 Owner’s Manual
1. Press PGM, then PGM appears. Enter the channel number (1–200) where you want to
store a frequency, then press PGM again.
2. Use the number keys and • to enter the frequency (including the decimal point) you want
to store.
3. Press ENT to store the frequency into the channel.
Notes:
• If you made a mistake in Step 2, Error appears and the scanner beeps three times when
you press ENT. Simply start again from Step 2.
• Your scanner automatically rounds the entered frequency down to the closest valid
frequency. For example, if you enter a frequency of 151.473, your scanner accepts it as
151.470.
• If you entered a frequency that is already stored in another channel, the scanner beeps
three times and displays the lowest channel number where the frequency is already stored,
and –dUPL– then the frequency flashes. If you want to store the frequency anyway, press
ENT again. Press TUNE/CLEAR to clear the frequency.
• Press DELAY if you want the scanner to pause 2 seconds on this channel before it
proceeds to the next channel after a transmission ends (see “Delay” on Page XX). The
scanner also stores this setting in the channel.
4. To program the next channel in sequence, press PGM and repeat Steps 2 and 3.
FINDING AND STORING ACTIVE FREQUENCIES
Searching the One Touch Banks
Your scanner contains groups of preset frequencies called One Touch banks. Each one
touch search bank is associated with a specific activity (see “One Touch Search Banks” on
Page XX). You can search for marine, fire/police, air, ham, and weather transmissions even
if you do not know the specific frequencies that are used in your area. Then you can store
the frequencies you found into the scanner’s channels (except weather and marine banks).

• When you turn on a bank during scanning, the scanner moves to the selected bank and
scans it.
If no transmission is found, the scanner continues scanning to scan through all selected
banks.
MONITORING A STORED CHANNEL
You can continuously monitor a specific channel without scanning. This is useful if you hear
an emergency transmission on a channel and do not want to miss any details — even
though there might be periods of silence — or if you simply want to monitor that channel.
Follow these steps to manually select a channel.
1. Pressing SCAN/MAN until MAN appears.
2. Enter the channel number (1–200).
3. Press SCAN/MAN again.
CLEARING A STORED CHANNEL

To change the searching direction, press ^ or v.
SAME Standby Mode
The National Weather Service precedes each weather alert with a digitally encoded SAME
(Specific Area Message Encoding) signal, then a 1050 Hz tone. The SAME signal includes a
FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standard) area code, and an event code that
corresponds with the type of alert being sent. You can configure your scanner to operate in
SAME Standby mode, where it monitors a selected weather radio station for SAME alerts for
areas you specify. You can program your scanner with up to 7 FIPS codes for the areas you
desire. The National Weather Service maintains a current list of FIPS codes at
http://www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr/.
To configure your scanner for SAME Standby mode, follow these steps:
1. Press WX.
2. Press PGM to access the FIPS code entry table.
3. Use ^ or v keys to select the desired FIPS code storage location.
4. Use the number 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.
5. Press L/OUT to lock out or enable specific FIPS entries.
6. Press WX to exit the FIPS code entry table.
Page 25
0711 Owner’s Manual
Notes:
• Your scanner can also detect the 1050 Hz weather alert tone when a weather channel is
set as the priority channel and weather priority operation is enabled (see “Priority”). In this
mode all alerts are received. FIPS settings are ignored.
• 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 LIGHT.
7. Press PRI/ALERT to initiate SAME standby. The scanner will monitor the all weather radio
station for alerts with FIPS codes that match the codes you entered in the FIPS entry table.
To exit SAME standby, press PRI/ALERT again.
Skywarn
Many areas of the country have amateur radio repeaters that have been designated as
“Skywarn” repeaters. During times of severe weather, these repeaters are used to relay
reports of severe weather directly to meteorologists at a local National Weather Service
(NWS) forecast office. Using the Skywarn feature in your scanner, you can easily jump to
Skywarn repeater frequencies and monitor these reports, in many cases hearing about
severe weather in your area instantly as it occurs.
This function lets you quickly move to the skywarn channels (Channel 200) from any mode
by pressing and holding WX about 2 seconds. The scanner displays SKYWARN symbol.
Note: To activate this function, you must program your desired Skywarn frequency into the
Skywarn channel.
Spectrum Sweeper
Your scanner’s Spectrum Sweeper feature provides a powerful new tool for you to rapidly
detect, monitor and store frequencies for nearby radio transmissions. The Spectrum
Sweeper feature is similar in functionality to portable frequency counters that cost much
more than your scanner, but provides many advantages over typical portable frequency
Page 26
0711 Owner’s Manual
counters. For example:
The Spectrum Sweeper allows you to sweep the entire range of your scanner’s design
frequencies, or you can specify those frequency ranges that you wish to sweep and exclude
ranges that you do not want to sweep. This allows you to omit frequency ranges with
constant strong frequency activity, such as those with paging or broadcast transmitters.
Many portable frequency counters will remain locked to a nearby constant signal, such as a
paging or broadcast transmitter, and will not function properly until you have left the vicinity
of the transmitter.
The Spectrum Sweeper feature is more sensitive than portable frequency counters and will
detect transmissions at a greater distance. You can activate the Attenuator to reduce the
sensitivity if desired.
Once an active frequency is found, the transmission is played through your scanner’s
speaker, and you can quickly store it in any of your scanner’s memory locations.
Using Spectrum Sweeper
The Spectrum Sweeper can be set to watch for activity on all band, Police/Fire, Aircraft, or
Ham frequencies. When the scanner is in manual, scan or tune mode, press SS to watch for
activity on all band. When the scanner is in Police/Fire search band, press SS to watch for
activity on Police/Fire band. When the scanner is in Aircraft band, press SS to watch for
activity on Aircraft band. When the scanner is in Ham band, press SS to watch for activity on
Ham band.
You can also turn on/off frequency sub-bands using the corresponding number keys while
Spectrum Sweeper is active.
Note: Priority mode is not available while using the Spectrum Sweeper.
SPECIAL FEATURES
DELAY
Page 27
0711 Owner’s Manual
Many agencies use a two-way radio system that has a period of several seconds between a
query and a reply. To avoid missing a reply, you can program a 2-second delay into any
channel or frequency. When your scanner stops on a channel or frequency with a
programmed delay, DLY appears and the scanner continues to monitor that channel or
frequency for 2 seconds after the transmission stops before resuming scanning, searching,
tuning, or spectrum sweeping.
You can program a 2-second delay in any of these ways:
• If the scanner is scanning and stops on an active channel, quickly press DELAY/• before it
resumes scanning.
• If the desired channel is not selected, manually select the channel, then press DELAY/• .
• If the scanner is searching tuning, or spectrum sweeping, press DELAY/• . DLY appears
and the scanner automatically adds a 2-second delay to every transmission it stops on in
that band.
To turn off the 2-second delay in a channel or for all frequency, press DELAY /• while the
scanner is monitoring that channel or frequency. DLY disappears.
LOCKING OUT CHANNELS OR FREQUENCIES
You can increase the effective scanning or search speed by locking out individual channels
or frequencies that have a continuous transmission, such as a weather channel (see
“National Weather Frequencies” on Page XX) or a birdie frequency (see “Birdie
Frequencies” on Page XX).
Locking Out Channels
To lock out a channel during scanning, press L/O/L/O RVW when the scanner stops on the
channel.
To manually lock out a channel, select the channel then press L/O/L/O RVW until L/O
appears.
To remove the lockout from a channel, manually select that channel again, then press
L/O/L/O RVW until L/O disappears.
Page 28
0711 Owner’s Manual
Notes:
• Your scanner automatically locks out empty channels.
• You can still manually select locked-out channels.
Locking Out Marine and WX Channels
To lock out a Marine or WX channel during searching, press L/O when the scanner stops on
the channel.
To manually lock out a Marine or WX channel, select the channel then press L/OUT.
To remove the lockout from a Marine or WX channel, manually select that channel again,
then press L/O until L/O disappears.
Locking Out Frequencies
To lock out a frequency during a one touch search or spectrum sweeper, press L/O/L/O
RVW when the scanner stops on that frequency. The scanner locks out the frequency then
continues searching/sweeping.
Notes:
• You can lock out as many as 50 frequencies during a search (or spectrum sweep). If you
try to lock out more, FLo -FULL appears (see “Reviewing Locked-Out Frequencies” and
“Removing Lockouts From All Frequencies”).
• The scanner uses same Lockout List between one touch search bank and spectrum
sweeper. (ex.: the scanner uses same lock out list between aircraft search band and aircraft
spectrum sweeper band.)
Reviewing Locked-Out Frequencies
To review the frequencies you locked out, hold down L/O/L/O RVW for about 2 seconds
during a search or spectrum sweeper, then repeatedly press ^ or v. L-r (Lockout Review)
appears and the scanner displays all locked out frequencies as you press ^ or v, or, EMPty
appears when the search bank has no locked out frequencies. When you reach the highest
locked-out frequency, the scanner beeps twice and returns to the lowest locked-out
frequency.

0711 Owner’s Manual
Removing Lockouts Form All Frequencies in a One Touch Search Bank
Note: These steps do not clear any lockouts in the marine and weather bank.
1. Hold down L/O/L/O RVW for about 2 seconds during a desired search band. L-r appears.
2. While holding down TUNE/CLEAR, press L/O to clear the lockout. FLo ALL-CL appears
about 2 seconds. After 2 seconds, YES ---Ent and No ---CLEAr appears alternately.
3. Press ENT. L-r EMPty appears. The scanner clears any lockouts from all frequencies in a
one touch bank. Or, if you do not want to clear the lockouts, press TUNE/CLEAR.
USING PRIORITY
The priority feature lets you scan through channels and still not miss important or interesting
calls on a frequency you select. You can program one frequency into the priority channel. As
the scanner scans, if the priority feature is turned on, the scanner checks the priority channel
for activity every 2 seconds.
1. Press PGM, then press PRI/ALERT. PCH and 000.0000 or the previously-stored
frequency appear.
2. Enter the frequency you want to enter into the priority channel, then press ENT. The
display flashes twice.
To program a weather channel as the priority channel:
1. Press WX.
2. Select the weather channel you want to program as the priority channel.

appears.
3. Press ^ at the host scanner.
4. SEndInG appears at the host scanner.
The scanner sends the data. To exit the clone mode, remove the cable.
CLOnE and Error may alternately appear when the scanner receives data from a scanner
other than a 0711. If this happens when the scanner receives data from another 0711, turn
off the scanner and then turn it on again.
INITIALIZING THE SCANNER
If the scanner’s display locks up or does not work properly after you connect a power source,
you might need to initialize the scanner.
Important: This procedure clears all information you stored in the scanner’s memory.
Page 32
0711 Owner’s Manual

seconds, YES ---Ent and No ---CLEAr appears alternately.
3. Press ENT. WAIt appears for about 2 seconds.
Note: Do not turn off the scanner until the initialization is complete. When the initialization is
complete, 1CH 000.0000 appears on the display.
A GENERAL GUIDE TO SCANNING
Birdie Frequencies
Every scanner has birdie frequencies. Birdies are signals created inside the scanner’s
receiver. These operating frequencies might interfere with transmissions on the same
frequencies. If you program one of these frequencies, you hear only noise on that frequency.
If the interference is not severe, you might be able to turn SQUELCH clockwise to cut out
the birdie.
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 search 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.
FREQUENCY CONVERSION
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)
Page 33
0711 Owner’s Manual
• To convert MHz to kHz, multiply the number of megahertz by 1,000:
30.62 (MHz) x 1000 = 30,620 kHz
• 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
FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
The scanner is not working at all. What’s wrong?
• The AC or DC adaptor might not be connected. Be sure the adaptor’s barrel plug is fully
inserted into the PWR DC 9V jack. The center tip of the adaptor’s barrel plug must be set to
positive.
• The batteries might be dead or need to be recharged. Recharge the rechargeable batteries
or replace the standard batteries.
The scanner does not receive any stations or reception is poor. What’s wrong?
• The scanner might need to be initialized. Turn the scanner off then on again, or initialize
the scanner (see “Initializing 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. Store frequencies into more than one
channel.
• The keylock might be turned on. Turn off keylock.
While scanning, the scanner locks on frequencies that have an unclear transmission. What’s
wrong?
• Some frequencies programmed into the scanner might be the same as “birdie” frequencies.
Avoid programming “Birdie Frequencies” or only listen to them manually.
