Features Your RadioShack Handheld Scanner is one of a new generation of scanners designed to track Motorola Type I and II (such as Smartnet and Privacy Plus ) and hybrid analog trunking systems, and GE/Ericsson (EDACS ) type systems, which are extensively used in many communication systems. Trunking communications systems let a large group of 2- way radio users (or even different groups of 2-way radio users) efficiently use a set of frequencies. Instead of se- lecting a specific freque

trunking systems only, once the control channels are programmed. 10 Channel-Storage Banks — let you store 30 chan- nels in each bank (300 channels) to group channels so calls are easier to identify. 10 ID-Storage Banks — let you store 1,000 IDs in 10 ID banks that have 5 sub-ID banks. 20 IDs are programmed in each sub-ID bank and let you easily identify the ID code. Weather Alert — automatically sounds the alarm tone to advise of hazardous weather conditions when it detects the alert signal on t

you can hear more replies that are made on the same channel. Priority Channel — lets you set the scanner to check one channel every 2 seconds so you do not miss trans- missions. Attenuate — lets you program your scanner to reduce the scanner's sensitivity to strong local signals, to reduce interference or noise caused by these signals. Text Input — lets you input a text label for each chan- nel, talk group ID, bank, or other memory location so you can easily identify the transmission. Lock Out F

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” on Page 10). • standard AC power (with an optional AC adapter — see "“Using AC Power” on Page 13) • vehicle power (with an optional DC adapter — see “Using Vehicle Battery Power” on Page 13) Notes: • Connecting an AC or DC adapter to the scanner dis- connects internal batteries when you use the sup- plied non-recha

er, we recommend RadioShack 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 Recharge- able Batteries” on Page 12. Cautions: • The battery holder fits only one way. Do not force it. • Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommen

Cautions: You must use a power source that sup- plies 9V DC and delivers at least 300 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 specifi- cations could damage the scanner or the adapter. • Always connect the DC adapter to the scanner before you connect it to the power source. When you finish, disconnect the adapter from the power source before you disconnect it from the scanner. To connect the adapter

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 your antenna's cable does not have a BNC connector, you will also need a BNC adapter (not supplied, avail- able at your local RadioShack store). Follow the installation instructions supplied with the an- tenna, route the antenna cable to the scanner, then con- nect it to the antenna jack. Warning: Use extreme caution when installing or re

Traffic Safety Do not wear an earphone or headphones while you drive a vehicle or ride a bicycle. This can create a traffic haz- ard and can be illegal in some areas. 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 speaker (not supplied), available at your local RadioShack store, might provide 1 more comfortable listening. Plug the sp

About Your Scanner Once you understand a few simple terms used in this manual and familiarize yourself with your scanner's fea- tures, you can put the scanner to work for you. You sim- ply 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 frequencies, you can use the search function. You can also search the SEARCH banks, which are pre- programmed frequencies in the

PRI (Priority) — sets and turns the priority function on or off. TEXT — lets you input text. PAUSE — stops search. MODE — changes the receive mode (AM, FM, MOT, ED). / — turns on/off the display's backlight or when used with FUNC locks/unlocks the keypad to prevent ac- cidental entries. TUNE — lets you input a frequency and allows you to fine tune a frequency along with 8 8 or 9 9. 8 8 9 9 ATT (Attenuate) — turns attenuation on to reduce the scanner's sensitivity and block extremely strong signa

You can use each channel-storage bank to group frequencies, such as those used by Mo- torola trunking, EDACS trunking, Marine, CB, Police, Fire, Aircraft and Ham (see “Typical Band Usage” on Page 67). For example, a police department might use four fre- quencies, one for each side of town. You could program the police frequencies starting with òò òòò ò (the first channel òò òòò ò in bank 0)
