2 FEATURES Your RadioShac k P R O-2045 200- Channel Weather A lert Home Scan- ner lets you in on all the action! This scanner gives you direct access to over 4 9,500 e xciting frequen cies used by pol.
3 Direct Search — lets you s earch fo r transmissions starting from a freque n- cy you specify. Co unt Fea tur e — lets you k ee p track of how many times y our scanner h as stopped on a chann el.
4 Your scanner c an receive all of the se bands: FCC NOT ICE Your scanner m ig ht cause radio or T V interference even when it is operating properly. To determine if your scann er is causing the interference, turn off your scanner. If the interference goes away, your scan ner wa s causing it.

7 PREPARA TION CONNECTING POWER You can power your s cann er from a standard A C ou tlet using t he sup plied AC adap ter o r from y ou r vehicle’ s bat - tery using an optional DC power cord.
8 • I f y ou use your scann er in your vehicle with t he engine running, you might hear electrical noi se from the sc anner . T his is normal. Note: M obile use of this scanne r is unlawful or req uires a perm it in some areas. Check the laws i n your area.
9 Note: Alway s use 50 -ohm coaxial ca- ble to conn ect an out door antenn a to your scanner. For lengths under 50 feet, use RG-58 or RG-8/M coaxial ca- ble. For lengths over 50 feet, use RG - 8, low-loss coaxial cable. If t he coax ial cable’s conn ector does not fit the ANT jack, you might also nee d an adapter.
10 T EST ING ALERT OPERAT ION For your s canner’s weather alert func- tion to be effective, you m ust place the scanner: • Where it can receive an emer- gency alert broa dcast (see “T est- ing Alert Reception” on this page) • Where you can hear its ale rt tone (See “T esting the Weather Alert” on Page 1 1).
11 T e sting the W ea ther Ale rt Follow these steps to test t h e weather alert — to hea r how it sounds and e n- sure that t he circuitry is working. Note: This test do es not ensure that your scanner will sound an alert when the weather serv ice transmits an emergency signal (see “ We ath er Alert” o n Page 25).
12 T raffic S afety Do not wear a n earphon e or hea d- phones while operating a motor vehi - cle. This can creat e a traffic ha zard and c an be illega l in som e areas. Even thou gh some earphones and headphones let you hear some out- side soun ds when l istening a t normal volume le vels, they st ill can presen t a traffic hazard.
13 2. Remove t he scanner ’s top cover . 3. Gently plug t he CTCS S boa rd i nto sock e ts J9 and J10 on the top of the scanner ’s circuit boa rd. 4. Replace the scann er ’s top cover, then replace the t wo side screw s and th ree bo ttom s crews.
14 UNDERSTANDING Y OUR SCANNE R A LOOK AT THE KEYBOARD A quick glance at this section should help you understand each key’s func tion(s). VOLUME — rot ate to turn the scann er on or of f and adj ust the vol ume. SQUELCH — ro ta te t o a d ju st th e squelch.
15 Number Keys — each key has a sin- gle digit with a range o f numbers print- ed abov e it. The si ngle d igits are us ed to enter t he number of a channel or frequency . The range of numbers (21– 40, for ex ample) i ndicates t he cha n- nels that make up a memory bank.
16 A LOOK AT THE DISPLAY The display has sev eral indicators that show the s canne r’s current operating mo de. A good look at the di s pl ay will help you understand how your scanner operates . MON — appears during a search or when you listen to a m onitor memory.
17 L/O — app ears whe n you m anual ly select a l ocked c hanne l or a s kipped frequency . DLY — appears w hen you program a channel for a 2-second delay or when you listen to a channe l that ha s been programme d with the delay feat ure.
18 OPE R ATION T URNI NG ON THE SCANNER/SETTING V OLUME AND SQUELC H 1. Rotate VOLUME 1 / 4 turn clockwise to turn o n t he scanner . 2. Rotate SQUELCH fully counter- clockwi se. 3. Slowly turn SQ UELCH cl o ckwis e until the hissin g stops . Note: To hear a weak or distant sta- tion, turn SQUELCH counterclockwise.
19 •P r e s s FREQ/CHAN-LOCK until the CHA N in dicator appears. T urn the rotary t une r to select the de sired chan nel. 3. Enter a frequenc y (including the decimal point). 4. Press E to s t ore the frequency . Notes: • If you made a mistak e in Step 3, the s canner d isplays Er ror and beeps three times.
20 6. When the scanner finds a trans- mission, you can: • Store the displayed frequency into the curr ent monitor memory — quickly press MO NITOR . • Lock out the f req uenc y so t he scanner does not stop on it again — pres s S/S . The sc a n- ner resumes searching.
21 • Continue the searc h — press s or t . • Hold the scanner on the fre- quency — press LI MIT or t ur n the rotary t un er eit he r way one cli ck. -h - appea rs. Notes: • Y ou can press s or t during the hold to step t hrough the fre- quencies toward the upper or lowe r lim it s .
22 AUTOMA TICALL Y STORING F REQUENCIES You can have your scann er autom ati- cally store active frequencies into empty channel s within t he banks you specify.
23 LI ST E NI NG TO M ON I TO R MEM OR IES Once you st ore f requencies i nto moni - tor memories u sing a d irect or limit search or weather scan, you can listen to a monitor memory by pressing MANUAL , MONITOR , an d th e n the number for t he moni tor me mory you want to list e n to.
24 Lock in g Out Channels You can increase the effective scan- ning speed by lockin g out channel s that have a c ontinuous t ransm ission, such as a weat her chan nel. Note: Y ou can manua lly select the channels you have lock ed out. To lock out a c h annel, man ually select the chan nel, t hen press LOCKOUT so L/O appea rs on the display.
25 SCANNING T HE WEAT HER BAND The F CC (Federal C ommuni cations Commission) ha s allocated 1 1 cha n- nels for use by the National Oceani c and Atmospheric Ad ministration (NO AA). Your scanner is preprogram med w ith the following se ven frequenc ies avail- able to NOAA.
26 SPEC IAL FE ATURES DELAY Many agen cies us e a tw o-way radio system t hat m ight h ave a period of 2 or more seconds between a que ry and a reply. To keep from m issing a reply on a specific channe l, you can pro- gram a 2-sec ond delay into any c han- nel, or on fre quencies d uring a frequency search.
27 The scan ner autom atically desi g- nates each ba nk’s first channe l as that bank’s priority cha nnel. Follow these steps to program a di f ferent channel as the priori t y chan nel for a bank. 1. Press PROGRAM . 2. Use the num ber keys to ent er the channel num ber you want to pro- gram as th e priority channe l, then press PRIORITY .
28 USING AUTO SORT You can set the scanner t o scan within each bank from the channel with the lowest frequenc y to th e chann el w ith the highest frequency, instead of i n channel num ber order. Th is mak es the scanner sc an fast er. Follow these ste ps to turn on auto sort.
29 T RANSFERRING A FREQUENCY TO ANOTHER CHA NNEL T ransfer ring to an Em pty Channel This f eature le ts you reassign a stored frequency to another bank’s v acant channel. Note: You cannot transfer a frequenc y into o r out of a priori t y chann el.
30 USING THE C OUNT FEATURE The scanne r can count the num ber of times it has de tected a t ran smiss ion on each channel since you turned on the scanner or cleared th e count. 1. While the s canner is scanni ng, press MANUAL . 2. Press COUNT . The s canner d is- plays COUN T , the current channel number , and the count number.
31 Assigning a CT CSS T o ne Freq ue ncy to a Chan ne l You can spec ify the CT CSS tone fre- quency you want the sc anner to d e- tect on a spec ific prep rogrammed channel. 1. Select the channel number t hat has the frequency you want to assign a CTCS S tone frequ ency to.
32 A GENERAL GUIDE TO SCANNING Reception of the frequencies covered by your scanner is m ainly “line-of- sight.” That means you usually cannot hear stations that are bey ond the ho ri- zon. During t he summ er mont hs, y ou might be able t o hear stat ions in the 30–50 MHz ran ge located several hundred or even thousan ds of m iles a way .
33 Birdie F requen cies Birdies a re frequencies your scanner uses when it operates. T hese op erat ing f re- quencies might i nt e rfere with broadcasts on the same frequenc ies. If y ou tune one of these frequencies, you hear only noise on that frequenc y.
