[. . . ] If you entered a frequency that has already been entered elsewhere, the scanner sounds an error tone and displays the channel that was duplicated. If you entered the frequency by mistake, press then enter the correct frequency. To enter the frequency anyway, press E to accept. Scanning the Stored Channels To begin scanning channels, press Scan. The scanner scans through all non-locked channels in the activated banks. (See "Locking Out Channels" on Page 44 and "Turning Channel-Storage Banks On and Off" on Page 43). When the scanner finds a Operation 31 transmission, it stops on it. Notes: · · If you have not stored frequencies into any channels, the scanner does not scan. If the scanner picks up unwanted partial, or very weak transmissions, turn Squelch clockwise to decrease the scanner's sensitivity to these signals. To listen to a weak or distant station, turn Squelch counterclockwise. To ensure proper scanning, adjust Squelch until the audio mutes. · Manually Selecting a Channel You can continuously monitor a single channel without scanning. This is useful if you hear an emergency broadcast on a channel and do not want to miss any details - even though there might be periods of silence - or if you want to monitor a specific channel. To manually select a channel, press Hold, enter the channel number then press Hold again. Or, during scanning, if the radio stops at a channel you want to listen to, press Hold once. (Repeatedly pressing Hold at this time causes the scanner to step through the channels. ) Press Scan to resume automatic scanning. Operation 32 Special Features SpecialCallTM RF Capture Technology Close Features Your scanner's Close Call feature lets you set the scanner so it detects then displays the frequency of a nearby strong radio transmission. Close Call RF capture works great for finding frequencies at venues such as malls and sporting events. You can set the scanner so Close Call detection works "in the background" while you are scanning other frequencies, turn off normal scanning while Close Call is working, or turn off the Close Call feature and use the scanner normally. You can set the scanner so it alerts you when the Close Call feature detects a frequency. You can also set the frequency band where you want the scanner to look for transmissions. Unlike searching, which requires the scanner to tune to a frequency to check for a transmission, Close Call RF capture directly detects the presence of a strong, nearby signal and instantly tunes to the source's frequency. Notes: · Close Call RF capture works well for locating the source of strong local transmissions such as mobile and handheld two-way radios in areas with no other strong transmission sources. However, if you are in an area with many transmission sources (such as pager radio transmitters, multi-use radio towers, traffic control devices, etc. ), Close Call RF capture might not find the transmission you are searching for, or it might find a transmission other than the one you are searching for. Close Call RF capture cannot detect satellite dishes or any transmitter with a frequency above or below the frequency ranges listed under "Setting the Close Call Options" on Page 34. · Special Features 33 · Close Call works better with some types of transmissions than others.
