Programming Tips
n
Do not program a weather frequency into one of
the channels, since weather channels transmit
continuously.
Use Service
Scan feature to select the weather
information band.
n
Group similar frequencies into adjacent channels.
For example, program police frequencies in
channels 1 through 10 and fire/emergency into
channels 11 through 20, and so on.
n
Put the frequency that you listen to the most or the
most important frequency into a Priority channel.
n
To quickly program a series of channels, start with
the lowest number channel.
For example, when you are programming five new
frequencies into Channels 4 through 8, start with
Channel 4. After you finish programming a
channel, press
or
to go to the next
higher channel.
n
Write down your programmed channels and
frequencies in some convenient place in case the
scanner memory is lost.
