Basic Operation
operate similarly, but all unlocked channels are scanned
at least one time regardless of the hold time setting.
Preprogrammed System Tips
All systems preprogrammed into the scanner are
assigned to quick key 9. To turn the preprogrammed
systems on or off, simply press 9 while scanning.
Notes:
• The systems preprogrammed into the scanner are
located primarily in major metropolitan areas. You
might not be able to receive one or more of these
preprogrammed systems.
• You might hear transmissions on frequencies assigned
to very distant stations. This will happen if a local sys-
tem also uses the same frequency.
You can scan preprogrammed systems more efficiently
by preventing the BC246T from scanning systems that
are not in your area. There are three ways to do this:
• Lock out the faraway systems (see “Locking/Unlock-
ing Systems” on Page 42).
• Reassign your local systems to another quick key
(see “Editing the System Quick Key” on Page 62).
• Delete the faraway systems (see “Deleting Systems”
on Page 70).
Selecting Systems to Scan
To select systems to scan, press Scan then press the
number button corresponding to the quick key assigned
to the system or systems. To stop scanning the
system(s), press the number button again.
The SYS indicators on the display show the systems that
are currently selected.
To select or lock out a system that is not assigned to a
key, press and hold
while you rotate the scroll
control until the desired system is selected. Then,
Important! You cannot restore preprogrammed
systems if you delete them.
