General Product Care
Turn the scanner off before disconnecting the power.
Always press each keypad button firmly until you hear the entry tone for that key
entry.
Location
If strong interference or electrical noise is received relocate the scanner or its
antenna away from the source of the noise. A higher elevation, if possible, may
provide better reception. You might also try changing the height or angle of the
telescoping antenna.
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.
Cleaning
Disconnect the power to the unit before cleaning.
Clean the outside of the scanner with a soft cloth. 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.
Birdies
All radios may receive undesired signals or birdies. If your scanner stops during
Search Mode and no sound is heard it may be receiving a birdie. Birdies are
internally-generated signals inherent in the receiver's electronics. If the interference
is not severe you might be able to turn SQ clockwise to cut out the birdie. You can
also press SEARCH to resume searching.
