The primary purpose of the Pro 94 scanner is to pick up frequencies and transmissions from other communication systems. Upon receiving your device, you might have some questions about properly set your device. Following a few steps, you will have your device operating effectively and efficiently in little time. Learn properly power your device using alkaline or Ni-Cd batteries, connect the supplied external antenna, adjust the "Squelch," and save frequencies to channels.
Instructions
1. Install new batteries in your unit before powering on. Turn the unit over onto its back and slide the battery chamber door open with your thumbs. Install two AA batteries (alkaline or Ni-Cd) into the battery chamber. Use a small pointed object (such as a pen tip) to switch over the battery switch (inside the battery chamber). Flip the switch either "Alkaline" or "Ni-Cd," depending on which kind you're inserting. While inserting the batteries, be sure to correspond to the polarity indicators printed on the inside of the chamber. Replace the battery chamber door.
2. Connect the supplied antenna to the top of the device. Line up the slots on the bottom of the external antenna with those of the scanner's connector. Lower the antenna down on the connector and rotate the antenna clockwise until it clicks into place.
3. Adjust your "Squelch" to the desired level by first turning on the scanner. Turn the "Squelch" knob (located on the top of the device to the right of the "Volume" knob) all the way counterclockwise. Turn the "Volume/Power" knob (located on top of the device to the left) clockwise until you feel a click and hear a low hissing noise. Stop the Pro-94 from scanning (it automatically begins to scan upon starting) by pushing the "Man" button (located below the display in the center). Turn the "Squelch" knob slowly clockwise until you don't hear the hissing anymore. The "Squelch" is your signal threshold. If the threshold is too high, you won't pick up any signals. If the threshold is too low, you'll pick up all thresholds within the area.
4. Store known frequencies into your memory by first pressing the "Man" button and holding down "A/B" (hold) for approximately two seconds. Enter the channel number where you'd like to store the frequency. Push "Prog," and you will see the channel number appear on your display. Use the numbered keypad to enter in the frequency you'd like to program. (Insert any decimal points necessary.) Press "E" to store the frequency to the channel.
