Operating Modes

The AE355M comes ready pre-configured to receive typical radio communication
services in Germany. For this purpose, the radio has 2 different factory installed
"Band Plans 1 or 2" which let you receive the radio communication services with the
optimized country specific channel spacings and other preference settings. We
strictly recommend not to change the band plan settings unless you are in other
European countries.
Like all scanners, the AE355M operates in two modes - Scan and Search:

Scan

Scanning allows you to scan through
already user programmed or
pre-programmed channels in various service banks.
Press a service bank key (EMG, FRN/PMR, AIR/MARINE, CB AM/FM or PRIVATE)
to find an active frequency within that bank. All activated banks plus their "private"
channels are scanned. Press other bank keys to add banks to scan.
The Bank label/icon for the scanned frequency flashes while that bank is scanned.
When an active frequency is found the scanner stops on that frequency. When
transmission ends the scanner pauses 2 seconds for a new transmission. If no new
transmission is found scanning resumes. Press UP to manually continue scanning.
Multiple active banks are scanned in order.
Note: Before you can scan the Private bank you must program frequencies into the
channels. Refer to chapter "PRIVATE BANK".

Search

Search mode is used in case if you do not yet have any programmed frequencies
stored in your scanner and if you want to explore certain frequency ranges in order
to find any activity.
For this purpose, the AE 355 M offers 23 different pre-grouped frequency ranges and
lets you search these ranges in order to find locally active frequencies.
Press BAND/STEP key to select 1 of 23 separate frequency bands to search. Press
the SEARCH key to begin searching. The scanner displays frequencies as it
searches and stops on active frequencies until that transmission ends.
If the found frequency may be interesting for you, you can note this frequency for
later checks or store (program) this frequency into one of the channel memory
locations. How this can be done, will be explained later.
If no transmission resumes after 2 seconds the search automatically continues
through the rest of the band. Use or to change the direction of the search or
press the BAND/STEP key again to change bands.

Special Notes for Scanning Banks

The bank keys (except the EMG and Private banks) are home to multiple banks.
