Scanning Overview
You can scan in one of three ways:

�

Service Bank Scanning Press one of the five service bank keys, [POLICE], [FIRE/EMG], [AIR], [WX] or [MRN], to find an active frequency. Band Search Select a frequency band to search. The Search function is different from scanning. It searches for any active frequency step by step within the lower and upper limits of the band. When an active frequency is found, the scanner will stop and stay on that frequency as long as that transmission lasts. If that frequency is interesting to you, press [HOLD] to hold the frequency in the display. Then program it into one of the programmable banks (PRIVATE, POLICE or FIRE/EMG). If you do not want to program that frequency, press [SEARCH] or just wait till the transmission ends. The search resumes automatically 2 seconds after the last transmission and looks for more active frequencies.

�

� PRIVATE Bank Scanning If you have programmed frequencies into this bank, press [PRIVATE] to scan only those that you have programmed in this bank. When scanning stops on an active frequency, it remains on that channel as long as the transmission continues. When the transmission ends, the scanner will remain on the same channel for 2 more seconds, waiting for a responding transmission. If there is no responding transmission within 2 seconds, the scanning cycle resumes.

Getting Started
The following instructions apply when using your BC350A for the very first time. Each time you turn on the scanner, it always retains the previous settings in its memory. That is, the scanner operates in the mode and bank last used, until you change the settings. Note: In case of memory loss to the scanner (indicated by "MEMO LOSS" on the display), all settings will be lost. Memory loss occurs if the the scanner is left for a long period of time without power. 1. Turn the Squelch [SQ] Control fully clockwise to the end. 2. Power on the scanner by turning [VOLUME] clockwise. Adjust the volume to where you can hear a steady noise. 3. Set the squelch at the scanning threshold by turning [SQ] counterclockwise just until the noise disappears.
