							Programming Tips
Do not program a weather frequency into one of
the channels, since weather channels transmit
continuously. Use
for weather information.
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.
Put the frequency that you listen to the most or the
most important frequency into a Priority channel.
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.
To erase the channel, press, and then press
. Channels with no frequencies are
automatically locked out.
Record channels and frequencies in some
convenient place in case the scanner memory is
lost.
