8 PR EP A R A TI ON POWER SOURCES You ca n power your sca nner f rom any of t hree sources : • Interna l bat t e ri es (n ot supplied ) • Standard AC power using an optional AC adapte r • Ve hicle batt ery power using an opt i o nal DC adapter Using I nt ernal Bat teries You ca n power your scanne r using four AA batt er ies.
9 War nin g: Never se t ALKALINE JACK NI-CD to NI-CD if you ar e install ing non-r echargeable batteri es. Non- rechargeabl e batter i es can get hot or ex plode if y ou try t o r echarge th em. 3. Instal l two batteri es in t he compartment and two i n the cove r as indic at ed by the pol arity symbols (+ and –) marked insi de those locations .
10 Charging Nickel-Cadmi um Batteries The scanner has a built -in ci rcuit that lets you rec harge nic kel-c admium batt er ies whil e t hey are in the sc anner.
11 Using Standard AC P ower You can power the scan ner from a s tan dar d AC outlet usi ng an opti on- al AC adapter ( such as Ca t. No. 273-1665). Warni ng: Do not use an AC adap ter ’s polar iz ed plug wit h an extensi on cord, r eceptacle , or other o utlet unl ess the b lades can be full y inser ted to preven t blade expo sure.
12 Using V e hicle Battery Power To power the sc anner f r o m your vehi cle's cigare tte-li ghter soc ket, you need a DC adapter , such as Cat. No.
13 When you f i ni s h usi ng the DC adapter , disc onnect it f ro m the ci garette- light er s ocket, then disco nnect it fr om your scanner. Note: I f the scanner does not oper ate proper ly when you connect a DC adap ter , u npl ug t he ada pter from the cig are tte- light er sock et and cle an the socket to remove ashe s a nd othe r debris.
14 Connecting an Optional Antenna The scanne r’s antenna jack makes it easy to use t he scanner with a vari ety of ant enna s. Ins tead of either of t h e sup plied a nte nnas, you can att ach a diff erent one, su ch as an extern al mobil e antenna o r outdoor base sta tion antenna.
15 CONNECTING AN EXTE NSION SPEAKER In a noi sy area, an ex t ensi on spe aker (su ch as Cat. No. 21-549) , posi- tione d in the r i ght place, might pr ovide mo re comfortabl e list eni ng. Plug the s peaker cable’s 1 / 8 -i nch mini-pl ug in t o your scan ner’s jack.
16 Listeni ng S afely To prot ect your hearing, f oll ow these gui delines when you use a n ear- phone or head phones. • Do not l iste n at ext remely hig h vo lume le vels. Extend ed hi gh - volume l i s ten ing can lead to per m anent heari ng l oss.
17 UNDERST ANDING YOUR SCANNER Once you un derstand a few simple terms we use in this manual a nd familiar ize yourself wi th your sca nner’s feat ures, you ca n put the scanner to work fo r you. You simply find the comm unications you want to r eceiv e, then s et the scanner to scan them .
18 RACE — le ts you stor e car number s and frequen cies in th e scanner’s channel s, add and delet e frequenc ies from car number s, displa y car numb ers , and listen to the cha nnel wh ere a car number i s sto red. MAN — st ops scanning an d lets you di r e ctl y en ter a cha nnel number or fre quency.
19 A LOOK AT THE DISPLA Y The disp lay has ind i c ators t hat show the scanner’s current ope rating statu s. A good l ook at the d i sp lay w ill help you u nderstand how your scanner operat es. BANK — appea r s with nu mbers (1– 10) to show wh ich memory bank s are tur ned on for scann i ng .
20 No. — appears whe n a ca r number i s displ ayed MRN — a ppear s with CH w hen you select th e scanner ’ s mar i ne service bank (se e “Ser vice Banks” on Page 21). — appears when you li st en t o a prior ity channel . CH — di gi t s that preced e th i s ind icator sh ow whi c h of t h e 100 c hannels the sca nner is tuned to.
21 UNDERSTANDING BANKS Memor y B an k s To make it e asier to i dentif y and select t he channe l s you want to list en to, th e PRO-74’s ch annels are div i d ed into 10 banks of 10 channels each.
22 Name Typi cal Usage Frequency Range (in MH z) Your scan ner also has 7 prepr ogrammed weather fr equencies. For exampl e, if you want ed to search f or tran smissions bet ween a driver and that drive r’s pi t crew at an auto ra ce, y ou could sea rch on ly the ser- vice bank wher e y ou are most li kely to hear the t ransmi ssions ( CAr ).
23 OPE RA TI ON T URN ING ON THE SCANN ER AND SETTING SQUELCH Note: Mak e sure an an tenna i s connec ted to th e scanner be fore y ou turn it on. 1. T urn SQ UEL CH ful ly count erclockwi se. 2. T urn VOLUM E cl ockwis e unti l it clicks and you hear a h i s sing sound.
24 STORING KNOWN FREQUENCIES INTO CHANNELS Good refer ences for ac t ive f requencie s are the Radi oShack “Beyond Poli c e C all, ” “Aeronaut ical Fr equen cy Dir ectory,” and “Mar itime Fr e- quency Directo r y.” We updat e these di r ector ies ever y year, so be sure to get a curre nt cop y.
25 • Y our sca nner automati cally roun ds t h e ente red frequency to t he nearest valid fr equency . For example, i f you ent er a frequenc y of 151.47 3, you r scan ner accepts it as 151. 475. • Y our s canner au tomati cally delays scanni ng for 2 seconds after a transmi ssion ends befor e it pr o ceeds to the nex t cha nnel.
26 T o release hol d and contin ue searching, press HOL D or ho ld down t or s for more than 1 seco nd. Notes: • T o st ep throug h the fr equencies whi le HOLD is di splayed, press t or s . • I f you t une to a search s kip freque ncy , L/O appea rs (see “Se a rc h Sk ip M e mo ry ” on P ag e 27) .
27 Notes: • T o step thr ough the frequ enci es while HOLD is disp la y e d, pr e ss t o r s. • If you t une to a sear ch skip fre quency , L/O appear s ( s ee “Search Skip Memory” on Page 27). • T o stor e a f requen cy into a chann el while th e f requen cy is paused o r hel d, se e “Stori ng Activ e Frequenci es.
28 To sk ip a frequency , press S/S when the scan ner st ops on t he fre que ncy dur ing a sear ch. The scanner s tores the freq uen- cy in me mory a nd auto matical ly resu mes the sea rch. To clear a single frequ ency from search skip m emory so th e scanne r can sto p on it during a search , follow these st eps.
29 Note: You canno t use this proced ur e to s elect a car number. See “Viewing F requenci es Assoc iated wi t h a Car Number ” on Pa ge 33 t o select a car number . To m anuall y select a c hannel, press MAN , enter the chan nel nu mber, then pr ess MAN ag ain.
30 LISTENING TO WEATHER BROADCASTS The FCC (Fe deral Communi cati ons Commission) has alloc ated fre- quenci es for use by the Nat i onal Ocean ic and At mo spher ic Adminis t r a- ti on (NOAA). Regul atory ag encies in other count ries hav e also all ocat ed frequenci es for use by thei r weat her repor ting author ities.

37 USING THE KEYLOCK Once yo u set up and st ore chan nel s into your sc anner, you can p rot ect it f rom acci dental chang es by turni ng on the keyl ock featur e. When locked , t he only control s t hat operat e are SCAN , MAN , KEYL OCK/ , VOL UME , a nd SQUE LC H .
38 Notes: • Y ou can use Hypersearch o nly in th e 5 kHz step band s (29–54 MHz and 137 –174 MHz. • Since the mari ne servi ce bank is not in one of the 5 kHz step bands, you cannot use Hyperse arch i n the m ari ne servic e b ank. T URNING THE KEY T ONE OFF/ON Your sc anner comes s et so each ti m e you pr ess a key, you he ar a tone.
39 SKIPPING DATA SIGNA LS You can set t he scanner s o it sk ips n onm odul ated or data s ig nals (suc h as modem tr ansm i ssions) dur i n g a search or scan. Note: Si nce dat a signals are not gen erally f ound in t he air band, thi s featur e does no t work in the air band.
40 A GENERAL GUIDE T O SCANNING Recept ion of th e frequenci es covered by your scann er is m a inly “l ine- of- sight.” That means you usua lly cannot hear stat ions that are beyond the hor i z on.
41 Chan- nel No. Frequency C han- nel No. Frequency Ship Shore Ship Shor e Birdie Fr e quencies Every sc anner has birdi e freq uencies. Bi rdie s are signal s c reated i n- side the scanner ’s rece iver. Th ese oper atin g frequenc i es might inter- fere wi th br oadcasts on t he same freque ncies.
42 To fin d the birdi es in your partic ular scanner , begin by di sconnect ing the anten na and moving it away fr om the scan ner. Make sure that no other nearby radi os or TVs ar e t urned on near the sca nner. Use the sear ch funct ion to sear ch every fr equen cy range f r om it s lowest to the highe st fre quency.
43 Pr imar y U sag e As a general rule, most of the radio ac tivity is concen trated on t he fol- lowing fre quencies: VHF Band UHF Band Note: Remot e control stat ions and mobil e units oper at e at 5 MHz high- er than th eir associated bas e sta ti ons and rel ay r epe ate r units.
