General Use

The display shows 000.0000 in all channels when there has been a memory loss.
Location
• Do not use the scanner in high-moisture environments such as the kitchen or bathroom.
• Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight or near heating elements or vents.
• If the scanner receives strong interference or electrical noise, move it or its antenna
away from the source of the noise. If possible, a higher elevation may provide better
reception.
Cleaning
• Disconnect the power to the unit before cleaning.
• Clean the outside of the scanner with a mild detergent.
To prevent scratches, do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Be careful not to rub
the LCD window.
• Do not use excessive amounts of water.
Repairs
• Do not attempt any repair. The scanner contains no user serviceable parts contact your
retailer or see warranty page for service information.
Birdies
• All radios can receive birdies (undesired signals). If your scanner stops during Scan
mode and no sound is heard, it may be receiving a birdie. Birdies are internally
generated signals inherent in the electronics of the receiver.
Press L/O to lockout the channel, and then press HOLD/RESUME to resume scanning.
