10 PREPARATION POWER SOURCES You can power your scanner from any of three sources: • internal non-recharge able batteries or recharg eable batteries (not supplied — see “Using Batteries”) • .
11 Warning: Never install non-rechargeable batteries in the rechargeable yellow batte ry holder. Non-rechargeab le batteries can get h ot or explode if you try to recha rge them. Note: You must charg e rechargeable batteries b efore you use them the first time.
12 3. Insert six AA batteries in the battery holder as indi- cated by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked on the holder. Cautions: • Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type. • Always remove old or weak batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals th at destroy electronic ci rcuits.
13 When battery power is l ow, Low Battery! appears and the scanner beeps continuously. Whe n battery pow- er is depleted, the scanner turns itself off. Replace all six non-rechargeable batte ries, or recharge the rechargeab le batteries. See “Cha rging Rechargeable Batteries”.
14 • Rechargeable batteries la st longer and deliver more power if you let them fully discharge once a month. To do this, use the scanner until Low Battery! appears on the display. Then fully charge the rechargeable batteries. Important: This scanner can use nickel- cadmium rechargeable batteri es.
15 2. Plug the adapter’s barrel plug into the scanner’s PWR DC 9V jack. 3. Plug the adapter into a standard AC outl et. Using V ehicle Power You can power the scan ner from a vehicle’s 12V pow er source (such as a cigarette-lighter socket) using a 9V, 300 mA DC adapte r and a size H Adap taplug (neither supplied).
16 3. Plug the adapter’s cigarette-lig hter plug into your vehicle’s cigarette-lighter socket. Note: If the scanner does n ot operate pr operly whe n yo u connect a DC adapter, unplug the DC adapter from the cigarette-lighter socket and clean the socket to re move ashes and other debris.
17 Connecting an Optional Antenna The antenna connecto r on your scanner makes it ea sy to use the scanner with a variety of antennas, such as an external mobile ante nna or outdoor base station antenna. Your local RadioShack store sells a variety of an te nnas.
18 Listening Safely To protect your hearing, fo llow these guidelines when you use an earphone or headphones: • Do not listen at extremely high volu me levels. Extended high-volume listen ing can lead to perma- nent hearing loss. • Set the volume to th e lowest setting before you begi n listening.
19 USING THE BELT CLIP You can use the belt clip attached to the back of the scanner for hands-free carrying when yo u are on the go. Slide the belt clip over your belt or waistba nd. CONNECTING THE CLONE CABLE You can transfer the programmed data to and from an- other PRO-92 using the supplied clo ne cable.
20 ABOUT YOUR SCANNER Once you understand a few simple terms used in this manual and familiarize yourself with your scann er’s fea- tures, you can put the scanner to work for you. You sim- ply determine the type of commu nications you want to receive, then set the scanner to scan them.
21 FUNC (function) — lets you use various func tions by pressing this key along with o ther keys. SCAN — scans through the programmed channels. MANUAL — stops scanning and lets you directly ente r a channel number. TRUNK — stores the trunking ID code or holds the trunk- ing ID while scanning.
22 PGM — programs frequencies into channels. ENTER — lets you complete the entry of fre quencies and text. 1 / DELAY — enters a 1, or programs a 2-se cond delay for the selected channel/sea rch bank, or inputs chara cters 0 through 9. 2/ABC — enters a 2, or inputs characters A, B, or C.

28 Note: The steps shown above are defaul t values. You can select any desired step se tting. UNDERSTANDING Y OUR PRO-92’ S MODES You can program each channel with any of seven receive modes.
29 With few exceptions, such as the VHF Aircraft and Ma- rine bands, almost every other VHF or UHF radio system uses some form of cod ed squelch. By far, PL is the most popular mode among non -trunked systems. For most scanning use, try setting PL mode for all non-trunked channels.
30 When the scanner receives a transmission on a channel set to the PL mode, it first decodes the PL tone in cluded with the transmission. In the Open mode, the scanner stops on the transmission and displays th e PL tone on the bottom line of the displa y (or displays N one if no tone is included).
31 L TR (E. F . Johnson) Mode This sets the scanner to decode the talk group ID’s used with an LTR system. This is a trunking system used pri- marily by business or private communications service providers, such as taxi cabs, delivery trucks, and repair services.
32 Motorola Mode This sets the scanner to decode the talk group ID’ s used with Motorola trunking systems. These systems are used by business and public safety groups to efficientl y allo- cate a small number of frequencies (as few as 5 ) to many groups of users (as many as several thousand).
33 For example, Police East Patrol mi ght be assigned to group 12, making th e full Fleet, Subfleet ID be 00 0-12. To properly map th e raw Type I data to the correct fl eet-sub- fleet format, you must program the correct fleet map into the scanner.
34 When there is activity on an EDACS system, that infor- mation is sent out on the control chan nel. The scanner decodes the ID for the active talk group. In the Ope n mode, the scanner then goes to the transmission and dis- plays the talk group ID on the bottom line of the display.
35 OPERATION T U RNING ON THE SCANNER AND SETTING SQUELCH 1. Turn SQU ELCH fully counterclockwise until the indi- cator points to MIN before you turn on the scanner. 2. To turn on the scanner, turn VOLUME clockwise. Welcome To Multi-System Trunking appears on the displ ay.
36 STORING KNOWN FREQUENCIES INTO CHANNELS Good references for active frequencies are the Ra- dioShack Police Call , Aeronautical Frequency Di rectory , and Maritime Frequency Directory . We update these di- rectories every year, so be sure to get a current copy.
37 • Your scanner automa tically rounds the en tered frequency to the nearest valid frequency. For example, if you enter a frequency of 151.4 73, your scanner accepts it as 151.470. • Press FUNC then press DELAY/1 to turn th e delay function on or off.
38 3. Press TEXT . The cursor appears a t the 3rd line on the display. 4. Enter the text using the numera l keys (see “Text Input Chart” on Page 39). Note: If you make a mistake, press or to move to the character you want to change. For example input “HAM 6m” as follows: • “H” is the second letter associated with 4 on th e keypad.
39 Note: If the channel i s programmed for P/L, DPL, LTR, MOT or ED mode, the scanner displays the mode infor- mation on the 4t h line. T ext Input Chart Notes: • To access the numbers, after you press FUNC and 6 , press 1 , then press the desired number you want to enter.
40 FINDING AND STORING ACTIVE FREQUENCIES You can search for transmissions within ten ran ges of fre- quencies, called a search bank. The search bank is divid- ed into 10 search bands. Yo u can chan ge th e bands with the 60 preprogrammed search bands in the scann er (see “Search Banks” on Page 25).
41 Searching a Preprogrammed Frequency Range The scanner contains these preprogrammed se arch ranges, stored in search banks (0–9). Follow these steps to se lect preprogrammed search ranges and search them for active frequencies. 1. Press SEARCH . The scanner sea rches active se arch bank.
42 3. When the scanner finds an active frequency, it stops searching. To save the fre quency into a ch annel in the channel storage bank (bank 9 only), press FUNC then press ENTER . Stored @ 9xx appears on the display (xx: channel numbe r). Press or to con- tinue searching for additional active frequenci es.
43 Changing a Search Range with One of the 60 Preprogrammed Ranges You can replace the search range with o ne of the 60 pre- programmed ranges. 1. Press FUNC then press SEARCH to enter search pro- gram mode. PSR and the search ba nk number of the current range appear at the displ ay’s upper left cor- ner.
44 3. Use the number keys to e nter the lower range you want to search and store, then press ENTER to store the frequency. 4. Use the number keys to enter the higher range yo u want to search and store, then press ENTER again to store the frequency.
45 Notes: • You cannot turn off all banks. There mu st be a t least one active bank. • You can manua lly select any channel i n a bank, even if the bank is turned off. To turn on banks while scanning, press the number key until the bank’s number appears.
46 DELETING FREQUENCIES FROM CHANNELS 1. Press MANUAL . 2. Use the number keys to enter the channel which has the frequency you want to delete. 3. Press MANUAL again. 4. Press PGM to enter the program mode. M ch anges to P on the display. 5. Press FUNC .
47 Weather Alert Featu re This scanner can detect both the weather alert tone and can decode the d igital SAME message tha t precedes each alert. If you are monitoring a weather channel when an alert is broadcast, the scanner sou nds an alert and displays the type of alert being broadcast.
48 SPECIAL FEATURES USING THE DELAY FUNCTION Note: The delay function turns on automatically when you turn on the scanner. Many conversations might have a pau se of several sec- onds between a query and a reply. To avoid missing a re- ply, you can program a 2-second delay in to any of your scanner’s channels.
49 Notes: • You can still manually select locked-out channels. • If you lock out a channel that is set to a trunking mode, lockout is removed when you cycle power.
50 Reviewing Locked-Out Frequencies Follow these steps to review the frequencies within a search bank that you locked out: 1. Press SEARCH to start search. 2. Press FUNC then press L/OUT . The locked-out fre- quency appear on the display. If the search ban k has no locked-out frequency, L/O list is empty.
51 3. Press FUNC , then press 4 . Confirm list clear? 1=YES Press other key for NO. appears on the displ ay. Press 1 to clear all lock-out frequencies and List cleared appears on the display for about 2 seconds. Press any key other than 1 , to cancel clear.
52 Note: This scanner cann ot set a channel as the priority channel if the channel’s re ceive mode is LTR , MOT , or ED . Follow these steps to program a weather channel as th e priority channel. 1. Press WX . 2. Select the weather chann el you want to program as the priority channel.
53 CHANGING THE RECEIVE MODE The scanner is preset to the most co mmon AM or FM re- ceive mode for each fre quency range. The preset mo de is correct in most cases. However, some amateur radio transmissions and trunked systems do not operate in the preset mode.
54 CHANGING THE FREQUENCY STEP The scanner searches at a p reset frequency step for each frequency ran ge. Press STE P to change the step in- crement when moving betwe en frequencies of a se arch band or follow th ese steps to change steps in a specific bank.
55 Note: If you turn on this feature, the scanner might not re- ceive weak signals. To turn off the attenuator, press ATT again. A disappears from the display. This setting is stored for each channel. USING THE DISPLAY BACKLIGHT You can turn on the display’s backlight for easy viewing in dimly lit areas.

57 TRUNKING OPERATION The PRO-92 scanner tracks transmissions that use the Motorola ® Type I and Type II (such as Smartnet and Pri- vacy Plus) and hybrid analog trunking systems, plus GE/ Ericsson (EDACS) and EF Johnson (LTR) type systems, which are extensiv ely used in many communica tion sys- tems.
58 PROGRAMMING T RUNKING FREQUENCIES Program trunking frequencies just as you program nor- mal, non-trunked frequencies, bu t store the appropriate mode (MO, ED, or LT) wi th each frequen cy. Notes: • EDACs systems must be stored in banks by them- selves.
59 5. Press 8 and the display below appe ars. 6. Enter the size code information supplied with the Type I system information, referring to the instruction that appears on the d isplay. If the informa tion was not supplied, try these common fleet maps.
60 7. Enter the size code and press ENTER for each entry. If you make a mistake, press CL and enter the cor- rect size code. Note: The defa ult setting of the bank is for Motorola Type II. However, after you set Type I and if you want to return to T ype II, press 15 at Step 5.
61 Note: When you try to store more than 100 talk group ID’s in a bank, Memory full! appears. Clear some talk group ID’s in order to store new ones (see “C learing Talk Group ID’s” on Page 62). Follow these steps to manually store talk group ID’s or to edit a stored ID.
62 Locking Out T alk Groups ID Note: You can only lock out talk group ID’s whe n the scanner is in the closed mode (see “Open a nd Closed Modes” on Page 63). To lock out a talk group ID, follow these steps: 1. Press PGM . 2. Press TRUNK . 3. Press FUNC , or to move the desired bank.
63 Clearing All T alk Group ID’ s in One Bank You can clear all talk grou p ID’s within a bank. This lets you quickly delete all talk group ID’ s from a bank if, fo r ex- ample, you want to use the bank to store a different set of talk group ID’s.
64 The open or closed mode is set in each channel storag e bank. + or – is displayed under the channel storage bank’s number while scanning. Or, the status display shows the OPEN/CLOSED mode at the to p line while the scanner is in manual mode or while the scanner is receiv- ing a signal d uring scanning.
65 A GENERAL GUIDE TO SCANNING Reception of the frequenci es covered by your scanner is mainly “line-of-sight.” That means you u sually cannot hear stations that are beyond the horizon.
66 This scanner’s birdie freque ncies (in MHz) ar e: To find the birdies in yo ur scanner, begin by disconnect- ing the antenna a nd moving it aw ay from the scanne r. Make sure that no other nearby radio or TV sets are turned on near the scanner. Use the se arch function and scan every frequency range fro m its lowest frequency to the highest.
67 GUIDE TO THE ACTION BANDS T ypical Band Usage Primary Usage As a general rule, most of the radio activity is concentra t- ed on the followin g frequencies: VHF Band UHF Band VHF Band Low Range 29.00–50.00 MHz 6-Meter Amateur 50.00–54.00 MHz U.S.
68 Note: Remote control stations and mobile u nits operate at 5 MHz higher than their associated base stations and relay repeater units.
