(200-0418)                 Display                    Faxback Doc. # 33684

A LOOK AT THE DISPLAY

The display has several indicators that show the scanner's current operating 
mode.  A good look at the display will help you understand how your scanner 
operates.

             MON - appears during a search or when you listen to a monitor 
                   memory. The number to the right of this shows the current 
                   monitor memory number.  See "Listening to Monitor 
                   Memories" on Faxback Doc. # 33693.

FREQ, CHAN, LOCK - shows the rotary tuner's current setting.

            BANK - shows which channel-storage banks are turned on.  See
                   "Understanding Channel-Storage Banks", below.

           HYPER - appears when you scan channels or when the scanner is in 
                   the Hypersearch mode during limit search, direct search, 
                   and auto store.

            AUTO - appears when the scanner is in the auto store mode or 
                   when the auto sort function is turned on.

           COUNT - appears when you use the scanner's count feature.

           CTCSS - appears when the CTCSS feature is turned on.

            DATA - appears when you turn on the data skip feature.

           FM/AM - shows the current modulation mode; flashes when you 
                   override the default mode.

               P - appears when you listen to a priority channel.

              CH - digits that precede this indicator show which of the 200 
                   channels the scanner is tuned to.

             ATT - appears when the attenuator is turned on.

             MHz - the large digits that precede this indicator show which
                   frequency the scanner is tuned to.

            SCAN - appears when you scan channels.

             MAN - appears when you manually select a channel.

             PGM - appears while you program frequencies into the scanner's
                   channels.

             PRI - appears when you set the scanner to scan the selected 
                   priority channels every 2 seconds.

             L/O - appears when you manually select a locked channel or a
                   skipped frequency.

             DLY - appears when you program a channel for a 2-second delay 
                   or when you listen to a channel that has been programmed 
                   with the delay feature.  Also, the indicator appears when 
                   you turn on the delay feature during a limit or direct 
                   search or weather scan.

              WX - appears when the scanner is searching the weather band
                   frequencies.

           ALERT - appears when the scanner is set to respond to a weather 
                   alert tone.

       /\ and \/ - indicate the search direction.

          SEARCH - appears during a limit search (-L- also appears), direct
                   frequency search (-d- also appears), weather frequency
                   search, auto store mode, hold direct search (-h- also
                   appears), and hold limit search (-H- also appears).

UNDERSTANDING CHANNEL-STORAGE BANKS

You can store up to 210 frequencies into your scanner's memory.  You store
each frequency into either a memory called a channel, or a temporary memory 
called a monitor.  This scanner has 200 channel memories and 10 monitor 
memories.

Channel-Storage Banks

To make it easier to identify and select the channels you want to listen to, 
channels are divided into 10 channel-storage bank to group frequencies, such 
as the police department, the fire department, ambulance services, or 
aircraft (See "Guide to the Action Bands" on Faxback Doc. # 33686).

For example, the police department might use four frequencies, one for each 
side of town.  You could program the police frequencies starting with 
Channel 1 (the first channel in Bank 1) and then program fire department 
frequencies starting with Channel 21 (the first channel Bank 2).

Monitor Memories

The scanner also has 10 monitor memories.  you can use these memories to
temporarily store frequencies while you decide whether or not to save them
into channels.  This is handy for quickly storing an active frequency when 
you search through an entire band.  (See "Searching For and Temporarily 
Storing Active Frequencies" on Faxback Doc. # 33693).
