Systems
You can use the menu system to program a racing 
system (see “Manually Programming Racing Systems” 
on Page 63). Or you can follow the onscreen prompts 
as described in this section to quickly program your 
scanner. These prompts are designed to help you 
quickly enter a new race from a frequency list 
purchased at the track (if the system is not already 
preprogrammed into your scanner). When you 
complete Steps 5 and 6, almost all cars will use the 
default settings for the other steps.
1. While scanning, 
press 0. Then rotate 
the scroll control to 
select New race, 
then press E.
2. Enter the name of 
the race, then press 
E.
3. Enter the first car 
number (up to 3 
digits), then press E.
4. Enter the first driver 
name (up to 12 
characters), then 
press E.
