SPECIAL FEATURES 
 
DELAY 
 
Many agencies use a two-way radio system that might have a pause of several 
seconds between a query and a reply.  The scanners delay feature lets it 
wait for 2 seconds after each transmission on a channel or frequency while 
scanning or searching. 
 
To program a 2-second delay for a channel while scanning, manually select 
the channel and press DELAY until DELAY appears.  When the scanner stops on 
the channel, it waits for 2 seconds after each transmission on that channel 
before it resumes scanning. 
 
To program a 2-second delay for any active frequency while searching, press 
DELAY until DELAY appears.  When the scanner stops on a transmission, it 
waits for 2 seconds after each transmission on that frequency before it 
resumes searching. 
 
USING THE ATT SWITCH 
 
To reduce interference or noise caused by signals from a strong local 
broadcaster, you can reduce the scanners sensitivity to signals by setting 
the ATT (attenuate) switch on the back of the scanner. 
 
Switch ATT to 10dB to reduce the scanners sensitivity, or 0dB to increase 
the scanners sensitivity. 
 
NOTE:  If you switch ATT to 10dB, the scanner might not receive weak 
       signals. 
 
USING THE SOUND SQUELCH SWITCH 
 
You can have the scanner skip frequencies that broadcast only a carrier 
signal (without an accompanying modulated signal) by setting the SOUND 
SQUELCH switch on the front of the scanner.  When SOUND SQUELCH is turned 
on, the scanner continues scanning if it does not detect a modulated signal 
on a frequency within 0.5 seconds. 
 
NOTES:  This feature works only while the scanner is scanning, searching, 
        or monitoring the priority channel. 
 
        The sound squelch feature might not work properly if the monitored 
        frequency contains a transmission with a low modulated signal. 
 
To set sound squelch, press SOUND SQUELCH until the scanner beeps and the 
SOUND SQUELCH indicator turns on.  To turn off sound squelch, press SOUND 
SQUELCH again. 
 
If the scanner receives a frequency that broadcasts both a carrier and a 
modulated signal, it stops scanning and monitors the frequency.  If the 
modulated signal stops being broadcast on the frequency, the scanner stays 
on the frequency for 5 seconds, then resumes scanning.  If the carrier 
signal stops being broadcast on the frequency, the scanner resumes scanning 
immediately unless DELAY is set. 
 
LOCKING OUT CHANNELS 
  
						

							You can scan existing channels faster by locking out channels that have a 
continuous transmission, such as a weather channel. 
 
To lock out a channel while scanning, press L/OUT when the scanner stops on 
the channel.  To lock out a channel manually, manually select the channel 
and press L/OUT until LOCK-OUT shows on the display. 
 
To remove the lockout from a channel, manually select the channel and press 
L/OUT until LOCK-OUT disappears from the display. 
 
NOTES:  You can delete the frequencies stored in locked-out channels within 
        a bank.  See Deleting Frequencies from Locked-Out Channels within 
        a Bank. 
 
        You can still manually select locked-out channels. 
 
        You cannot lock out all channels.  There must be at least one 
        active channel in each bank. 
 
Reviewing Locked-Out Channels 
 
To review which channels are locked out, press MANUAL, then repeatedly 
press L/O RVW.  As you press L/O RVW, the scanner displays all locked-out 
channels. 
 
PRIORITY 
 
With the priority feature, you can scan through programmed channels and 
still not miss an important or interesting call on a specific channel.  You 
can program one stored channel as a priority channel. 
 
NOTE:  Before you first program the scanner, it automatically designates 
       Channel 1 in Bank 1 as the priority channel. 
 
Follow these steps to program a channel as the priority channel. 
 
1.  Press PROGRAM. 
 
2.  Use the number keys to enter the channel number you want to program as 
    the priority channel, then press PRIORITY.  P appears on the display to 
    the left of the channel number. 
 
To turn on the priority feature, press PRIORITY during scanning.  The 
scanner checks the priority channel every 2 seconds.  It stays on the 
channel if there is activity, and PRIORITY appears. 
 
To turn off the priority feature, press PRIORITY.  PRIORITY disappears from 
the display. 
 
MANUALLY SELECTING A CHANNEL 
 
You can continuously monitor a specific channel without scanning.  This is 
useful if you hear an emergency broadcast on a channel and do not want to 
miss any details (even though there might be periods of silence) or if you 
want to monitor a locked-out channel. 
 
Follow these steps to manually select a channel. 
 
1.  Press MANUAL. 
 
2.  Use the number keys to enter the channel number you want to hear, then  
						

							    press MANUAL. 
 
NOTES:  If the scanner is scanning and stops at the channel you want, you 
        do not have to press MANUAL again in Step 2. 
 
        If you repeatedly press MANUAL, the scanner steps through the 
        channels.  To change the step direction, press either the UP or 
        DOWN ARROW before you press MANUAL.

(200-0460)                Preparation                  Faxback Doc. # 16909 
 
This scanner is primarily designed for use in the home as a base station.  
You can place it on a desk, shelf, or table. 
 
The scanners front feet fold up or down.  Adjust them to give you the best 
view of the display. 
 
CONNECTING AN ANTENNA 
 
The supplied telescoping antenna helps the scanner receive strong local 
signals.  To install the antenna, screw it clockwise into the hole on the 
scanners top. 
 
The scanners sensitivity depends on the antennas length and various 
environmental conditions.  For the best reception of the transmissions you 
want to hear, adjust the antennas length. 
 
            Frequency             Antenna Length 
 
            25-300 MHz            Extend fully 
           300-520 MHz            Extend three segments 
           520-760 MHz            Extend two segments 
          760-1300 MHz            Collapse all segments 
 
Instead of the supplied antenna, you can connect an outdoor base antenna 
(not supplied) to the scanner.  Your local Radio Shack store sells a 
variety of antennas.  Choose the one that best meets your needs. 
 
When deciding on an outdoor base antenna and its location, consider the 
following: 
 
    The location of the antenna should be as high as possible. 
 
    The antenna and antenna cable should be as far as possible from sources 
    of electrical noise (appliances, other radios, and so on).   
 
    The antenna should be vertical for the best performance. 
 
To connect an optional antenna, always use 50-ohm coaxial cable, such as 
RG-58 or RG-8.  For lengths over 50 feet, use RG-8 low-loss dielectric 
coaxial cable.  If the coaxial cables connector does not fit in the ANT 
jack, you might also need a PL-259-to-BNC antenna plug adapter, such as 
Cat. No. 278-120.  Your local Radio Shack store carries a wide variety of 
coaxial antenna cable and connectors. 
 
Follow the mounting instructions supplied with the antenna.  Then route the 
antenna cable to the scanner, and connect it to the ANT jack on the back of 
the scanner. 
 
CAUTION:  Do not run the cable over sharp edges or moving objects. 
 
WARNING:  Use extreme caution when you install or remove an outdoor 
          antenna.  If the antenna starts to fall, let it go!  It could 
          contact overhead power lines.  If the antenna touches a power 
          line, contact with the antenna, mast, cable, or guy wires can 
          cause electrocution and death.  Call the power company to remove 
          the antenna.  DO NOT attempt to do so yourself.  
						

							PRO-2035 1000-Channel Programmable Home Scanner 
(200-0460)    Search and Storing Active Frequencies    Faxback Doc. # 16913 
 
You can store frequencies into channels using any of the following methods: 
 
    Manual storage 
 
    Auto storage 
 
    Limit search (within a range of frequencies you select) 
 
    Direct search (any range of frequencies before or after a frequency you 
    select) 
 
    Moving a frequency from a monitor memory 
 
Good references for active frequencies are Radio Shacks Police Call Radio 
Guide Including Fire and Emergency Services, Aeronautical Frequency 
Directory, and Maritime Frequency Directory.  We update these 
directories every year, so be sure to get a current copy.  See also Guide 
to the Action Bands. 
 
If you do not have a reference to frequencies in your area, follow the 
steps in Automatically Storing Frequencies or Limit Search to search 
for transmissions. 
 
Manually Storing Frequencies 
 
If you know a frequency you want to store, you can store it manually. 
 
1.  Press PROGRAM.  PROGRAM appears. 
 
2.  To select the channel where you want to store the frequency, either 
    turn TUNING until the channel number appears, or use the number keys to 
    enter the channel number.  Then press PROGRAM. 
 
3.  Using the number keys, enter the frequency you want to store into that 
    channel. 
 
4.  Press ENTER to store the frequency. 
 
    NOTES:  If you entered an invalid frequency in Step 3, the scanner 
            beeps and displays the channel number and ERROR.  Simply repeat 
            steps 3 and 4. 
 
            The scanner automatically rounds the entered frequency down to 
            the closet valid frequency.  For example, if you try to enter a 
            frequency of 151.473, the scanner accepts it as 151.470. 
 
5.  Repeat steps 2-4 to store more frequencies into channels. 
 
Automatically Storing Frequencies 
 
The scanner can automatically store active frequencies into empty channels 
in the banks you specify. 
 
1.  Press AUTO.  AUTO appears. 
 
2.  Using the number keys, select the numbers of the banks where you 
    want to store frequencies. 
  
						

							    NOTES:  To select a bank that does not contain any empty channels, a 
            bar flashes under the bank number, and -FULL- and AUTO appear.  
            To enter new frequencies into this bank, you must delete one or 
            more frequencies stored in it, then repeat Step 2.  See 
            Deleting Frequencies. 
 
            If you select a bank that contains an empty channel, a bar 
            flashes under the bank number, and AC-, the number of vacant 
            channels in the bank, Ch, and AUTO appear. 
 
            If you do not want to select the bank, press the banks number 
            again. 
 
            If you select more than one bank and want to review your 
            selections, turn TUNING one click for each selected bank.  As 
            you turn TUNING, a bar flashes under each selected bank number. 
 
3.  Press LIMIT. Lo appears. 
 
4.  Use the number keys to enter the lower limit of the frequency range you 
    want to search, then press ENTER. 
 
    NOTES:  If you enter an invalid frequency in Step 4 or 6, the scanner 
            displays ERROR.  Simply repeat the step. 
 
            If you enter any frequency in a range from 823.950 to 823.995 
            MHz for a lower limit in this step, the scanner displays and 
            uses 823.950 as the lower limit after you press ENTER.  If you 
            enter any frequency in a range from 868.950 to 868.995 MHz for 
            a lower limit in this step, the scanner displays and uses 
            868.950 as the lower limit after your press ENTER. 
 
5.  Press LIMIT.  Hi appears. 
 
6.  Use the number keys to enter the upper limit of the frequency range you 
    want to search, then press ENTER. 
 
    NOTE:  If you enter any frequency in a range from 849.005 to 849.050 
           MHz for an upper limit in this step, the scanner displays and 
           uses 849.050 as the upper limit after you press ENTER.  If you 
           enter any frequency in a range from 894.005 to 894.050 MHz for 
           an upper limit in this step, the scanner displays and uses 
           894.050 as the upper limit after you press ENTER. 
 
7.  Press the UP ARROW to search from the lower to the upper limit, or 
    DOWN ARROW to search from the upper to the lower limit.  AUTO and 
    the bar under the selected bank number flash on the display. 
 
    When the scanner finds an active frequency, it stores the 
    frequency in the displayed channel, then continues searching for 
    more active frequencies and storing them in any subsequent empty 
    channels.  When the scanner fills all channels within the selected 
    banks, the scanner beeps rapidly and displays the number of the 
    last channel where a frequency was stored. 
 
    NOTE:  During auto store, you can manually change the frequency step or 
           band mode.  See Changing/Resetting the Frequency Step or 
           Changing/Resetting the Band Mode. 
 
8.  To interrupt auto store, press AUTO.  The scanner displays the last 
    channel number where a frequency was stored.  To continue auto store,  
						

							    press the UP or DOWN ARROW. 
 
9.  To stop auto store, press MANUAL.  MANUAL appears. 
 
Limit Search 
 
You can search for transmissions within a range of frequencies you select, 
called the limit search range.  You can set and store up to ten limit 
search ranges into search banks (1-10). 
 
NOTES:  You can use the scanners delay feature while using limit search. 
        See Delay. 
 
        When the scanner searches for frequencies within limit search 
        range, you can store frequencies you hear during the search into 
        monitor memories. 
 
Follow these steps to set and store limit search ranges and search them for 
active frequencies. 
 
1.  Press PROGRAM.  PROGRAM appears.
