TANDY CORPORATION  \nYou'll hear plenty of action with your new Realistic®PRO-38 Pro-grammable Scanner.You have direct access to over 20,000frequencies in seven action radio bands —including 2m and 70cm ham,VHF machine and much more.Your PRO-38 scans up toten channels,so get ready for a lot of excitement.  \nThe secret to the PRO-38 is a custom-designed microprocessor一a computer on a chip.The front panel keyboard lets you easilyenter and change frequencies whenever you wish.The micropro-cessor also gives you special functions,such as these:  \n● A beep alarm,sounding every 15—30 seconds,alerts youwhen the batteries get low.  \n● The display shows the channel number,frequency,eiror indi-cator,and lockout indicator (when you are using the lock outfeature).  \n● An automatic 3-second scan delay prevents you from losingreplies on an individual channel during scanning.  \n● Memory backup for channel entries lasts up to 30 minutes dur-ing battery replacement or power failure when using householdcurrent.  \nThe PRO-38 covers all these bands:  \n66-88 MHz(VHF Lo)136-144 MHz(government)144-148 MHz(ham radio 2m)148-174 MHz (VHF Hi)  \n406-450 MHz(ham radio and government)450-470 MHz (UHF Lo)470-512 MHz (UHF Hi)Over 20,000 frequenciesl  \nNote:You must install batteries (or provide another form ofpower)and store a frequency,before you can hear sound of anykind.Do not attempt to use SQUELCH or VOLUME until afteryou enter a frequency.  \nUnpack your unit carefully and check the contents for all compo-nents —the scanner,the belt clip,the flexible antenna,and thebattery holder.Read this manual carefully for completeinstructions and fullest enjoyment of your PRO-38.  \nc1987,InterTAN LTD.  \n3  \nCONTENTS
