Copy the firmware to the root directory of your microSD card. Eject the microSD card and place back into your AppCam. Connect the power to your AppCam. The AppCam will install the firmware. Note: It may be necessary to perform the initial setup again for the AppCam and your mobile phone application. This installer creates the following driver on your system: v2.

Install Instructions. You will need this to unlock the full version of the program. There is no charge for the full version of this software.

Release Notes. To enter registration key: open program, click on "write to scanner", click on "setup" at top and then "registration". A box will open so that you can enter the number that was emailed to you. If you are upgrading from a previous version, you do not need to uninstall the old version. All existing data and your registration information will be preserved. See "Clone Mode" on page The scanner automatically starts scanning.

Since there are no frequencies programmed in your scanner initially, you may not receive any signals. Once you set the squelch and program some frequencies, you will begin hearing conversations regularly. It is recommended that you read the next part "Understanding the Menu System" because it will assist you in accessing and understanding many of the features.

Later in a section called "Additional Features", you will find explanations on how to disable the keypad acknowledgement tones, mute the audio, change the appearance of the display and other general features.

Page 22 You can program up to 10 search ranges. The first time you program a range you will need to do so through the Menu. After the first time you can program a range as you do on most any other scanner, using the numeric keypad or VFO control. This means that you will receive all transmissions on any frequencies that are active within your search range s. If you are near an unusually strong signal source, the signal may overload the scanner.

The scanner may stop repeatedly on that signal and miss other transmissions. AM for aircraft and CB bands, for example. All frequencies other than audio TV broadcast above MHz are received in NFM mode which helps prevent adjacent channel interference. You can change the default settings on a per-channel basis with this Menu item. Page 26 Within the system, no one outside of these two users hears the conversation. Page 27 You can change to display the talkgroups in decimal mode, but this mode does not provide you with the flexibility that you get with AFS.

See page 80 for details. This means the BCD will occasionally stop on data signals and unmodulated transmissions. You can automatically skip many of these types of transmissions with data skip turned ON. Page Programming Programming Before the BCD can begin conventional scanning, you must program a frequency into at least one channel. Repeat this procedure for each channel you want to program. Storing Frequencies into Channels in Menu Mode 1.

Select frequencies you received Page Transfer Frequencies Transfer Frequencies You can transfer a frequency that has been stored in a channel to another channel. Press E and the frequency can be stored in this channel. Page Beep Alert 3. Select the channel number by rotating the VFO and pressing E.

You can also enter the channel number by using the keypad and then press E. Note: You can only assign a text tag to the channel where the frequency is stored. Page Scanning 1. After programming frequencies, simply press SCAN to begin scanning. The bank indicators selected for scanning appear on the display, and the bank being currently monitored flashes. You can deselect banks from active scanning by entering their number on your keypad.

If you're near an unusually strong signal source, the signal may overload the scanner. Select the channel number of the stored frequency to be delayed by rotating the VFO and pressing E. Select a locked out channel. Enter the channel number using the keypad. Restoring All Locked-out Channels You can restore all locked-out channels in a bank only when a bank is selected for scan.

Page Changing The Priority Channel Changing the Priority Channel You cannot eliminate the Priority Channel, but you can change it to any one of the available channels in each bank. Select a new Priority Channel: a. Page Searching Note: First you must set the search ranges through the Menu screen prior to any searching.

The BCD can search up to 10 separate frequency ranges to help you discover new stations in your area. To set a Search Range, enter into the Menu mode. You can automatically skip many of these types of transmissions during search. To activate the Data Skip feature, enter into the Menu mode. Page Frequency Skip 1. When Data Skip is active, your scanner may pause momentarily on an unwanted signal but will resume searching in 2 or 3 seconds.

Page Auto Storing 2. The smallest empty channel number flashes on the display. If necessary, you can also change the channel by scrolling the VFO. Press E. See page for a listing of the tones that the BCD decodes. Note: When Tone Search is active in Scan mode, once the Page 45 3. If there is a range that you do not want an option to apply, then simply enter the range number on the numerical keypad.

You will see the range number that you have selected disappears from the display. Page Service Search Service Search The Service Search feature allows you to scroll through the following twelve preprogrammed services. The frequencies selected for these services are the most commonly used around the U. Page Service Search Skip Hold mode. You must program your FIPS code to identify the specific area where you are located. When the unit receives a warning signal, it shows a message with the alert siren defined.

Enter the FIPS code using the keypad. These systems are described here. Frequencies sometimes change, check with www. Page Step2: Programming Trunking Frequencies 71 for instructions.

STEP 1 is complete. When you designate a bank as a trunking bank, your scanner sets up 10 Scan Lists, which are simply lists used to store your favorite Talk Group IDs. Please see page 68 for more information.

Enter the Area Code and then press decimal key 2. In a few key presses, you can specify a single talkgroup, a fleet, or an entire agency in all the above modes. Press SCAN to begin scanning the lists you have programmed. To remove a Scan List from active scanning, press the number of the Scan List on your keypad. Hint: Press and hold RSM for 2 seconds, the scanner will move to the next trunking bank. If you want to resume scanning, press RSM. To directly access a specific channel: There are several ways to access a specific ID quickly.

Page Review Id Lockout talkgroups in the Utilities agency. You can do this with just a few key presses. For LTR systems only, the talkgroup must be active in order to change the Scan List and bank indicators. If the talkgroup is not active, change the Scan List by using the Menu screen.

Your BCD can receive these transmissions. How you receive I-Calls depends on whether you are in Search or Scan mode. During I-Call reception the display will show the Unit ID number of either the transmitting or receiving mobile unit, not a talkgroup. Page 67 After the scanner finishes checking a trunked system for activity, it will conventionally scan the other frequencies in the bank remember, only trunking frequencies are programmed in Trunk mode.

To scan a mix of trunking and conventional banks, select the banks you wish to be active, and then press SCAN. Page Edacs Reception Notice how the dotted line shows talkgroup moving from channel to channel.

Your BCD can clearly and automatically follow this talkgroup, or any other, as you select. EDACS systems are organized in a logical way that keeps related talkgroups together. The individual talkgroups cannot be shown at this scale because there are over However the chart can show the 16 Agencies in this example. The BCD is limited to following two patches. The temporary talkgroups used for patches are usually found in AFS code xxx, and sometimes xxx.

These systems encode all trunking information as digital subaudible data that accompanies each transmission. Users on an LTR system are assigned to specific talkgroups, which are identified by the radio as six digit numbers.
