500-Channel Programmable Scanner
OWNER’S MANUAL 

2 INTRODUCTION
The AE100T 500-Channel Programmed Scanner enables you to experience all the action for
yourself. It is possible to store up to 115,000 frequencies in the memory. These can be
changed at any time.
The secret of the AE100T is a microprocessor which has been developed with this specific
object in mind. This microprocessor provides the AE100T with, amongst other things, the
following facilities:
High Speed Scan -- lets you scan up to 40 channels per second and search up to 75
steps per...

3 S-Meter -- shows receiving signal strength.
Tape Remote Jack -- controls your tape recorder when the scanner receives the
signal.
Memory Backup -- keeps the channel frequencies stored in memory for about 3
months during a power loss.
Two Power Options -- let you power the scanner from standard AC power ( with the
supplied AC power cord), or your vehicles battery (with an optional DC cigarette
lighter power cord).
Your AE100T scanner can receive all of these frequencies:

you understand each keys function.
FUNC -- use the function key (REC, and DELAY) or seek scan/search.
Number Keys -- each key has a single-digit label and a range of numbers. Use the
digits on the keys to enter the numbers for a channel or a frequency. Use the range
of numbers above the key (51-100, for example) to select the channels in a channel-
storage bank. 

8 DIRECT/· -- enters a decimal point (necessary when programming frequencies), or
start a direct frequency search.
ENTER -- enters frequencies into channels.
PRI -- sets and turns on and off priority for ten priority channel.
L/OUT -- lets you lock out selected channels or frequencies.
L/O RVW -- lets you review locked-out channels or frequencies.
CL/DELAY -- clears an incorrect entry. Or, programs a 2-second delay for the
