PSR-295 Portable Scanner OWNER’S MANUAL

OPERATION
Turning on the Scanner and Setting
Squelch
1. To turn on the scanner, turn VOLUME clockwise. Welcome
To Scanning Receiver appears. After about 3 seconds,
you might hear a hissing sound. Then adjust
VOLUME to a comfortable listening level.
2. Turn SQUELCH fully counterclockwise until the indicator
points to MIN, then turn SQUELCH clockwise
until the hissing sound stops.
3. To turn off the scanner, turn VOLUME counterclockwise
to OFF.
Notes:
• The scanner does not scan if there are no frequencies
stored in channels. If the scanner does not scan and
you have already stored frequencies in channels, turn
SQUELCH further clockwise.
• If the scanner picks up unwanted, partial, or very weak
transmissions, turn SQUELCH clockwise to decrease
the scanner’s sensitivity to these signals. If you want
to listen to a weak or distant station, turn SQUELCH
counterclockwise.
• If SQUELCH is adjusted so you always hear a hissing
sound, the scanner will not scan properly.
Storing Known Frequencies into
Channels
Follow these steps to store frequencies into channels.
Note: When MAN is on the display, you can also select
your desired bank and channel number with the FUNC

1. Press MANUAL, enter the bank (0—9) and channel
number (00—99) where you want to store a frequency,
then press MANUAL again. MAN and the bank and
channel number appear at the upper left corner of the
display (for example: MAN Ch000).
