8 Feature Highlight s General 2500 Dynamic Ch annels - Y our scanne r stores channels more ef ficiently than conventional scanners, letting you store and quickly tune grea ter numbers of interesting frequ encies.
9 Feature Highlights Broadcast Screen – Sets the scanner so it ignores Close Call TM or search hit s on known broadcast frequencies. Custom Screen – Lets you input up to 10 frequency ranges that the scanner will ignore during Close Call TM or search operation.
10 Quick Recall – Lets you quickly select a specific channel by choosing the system, gro up, and channel. Scan/Search Delay – Y ou can set the scanner so it remains on a frequency up to 5 seconds af ter the last transmission to wait for a possible reply .
11 Feature Highlights Priority Priority Scan – Priority channels let you keep track of activity on your most important channel(s) while monitoring other channels for transmissions.
12 About This Manual The screen displays used in this ma nual are representation s of what m ight appea r when you use your scanner . Since what you see depends on the frequencies for your area and the set tings you select, you might notice some differences between what is in this manual and what appear s on your scanner .
13 Feature Highlights How the Scanner ’s Controls Are Represented in This Manual T o help navigate the scanner ’s menu s, the steps shown in this manual sh ow the displays you see an d the keys you pres s or control you opera te to get a desired resu lt.
14 T o get the most from this manual, review the contents to become familiar with the basic functions available. If you are n ew to scannin g, be sure to read “Understandin g Scanning” on Page 15 for a quick background on the technology . The first thing you’ll need to do is inst all batteries in the scanner .
15 Understanding Scanning Underst anding Scanning This section provides you with background on how scanning works. Y ou don’t really need to know all o f this to use your scanner , but some background knowledge will help you get the most from your UBC3500XL T .
16 This is dif ferent from scanning because you are searching for frequencies th at have not been programmed into the scann er . When you select frequency bands to search, the scanner searches fo r any active frequency within the lower and upp er limits you specify .
17 Understanding Scanning with each other to the point where it is impossible to clearly receive any of the st ations. A scanner equipped with CTCSS a nd DCS (like your scanner) can code each received fr equency with a specific CTCSS or DCS frequency .
18 Conventional Scanning Conventional scanning is a relatively simple concept. Each group of users in a conventional system is assigned a single frequency (for simplex systems) or two frequencies (for repeater syste ms) . An y t ime one of them transmits, their transmission always goe s out on the same frequency .
19 Understanding Scanning Repeater Operation Repeater systems use two frequencies: on e transmits from the radio to a central repeater; the other tr ansmits from the repe ater to other rad ios in the system.
20 Included With Y our Scanner Setting Up Y o ur Scanner Owners Scanner AC Adapter Belt Clip Manual Wri st S t ra p Batteries (with antenna attache d) BNC/SMA Adapter and other printed material Included With Y our Scanner UB347ZH.
