1、1 ALBRECHT AE100T 500-Channel Programmable Scanner OWNERS MANUAL 2 INTRODUCTION The AE100T 500-Channel Programmed Scanner enables you to experience all the action for yourself. It is possible to store up to 115,000 frequencies in the memory. These can be changed at any time. The secret of the AE100T

2、 is a microprocessor which has been developed with this specific object in mind. This microprocessor provides the AE100T with, amongst other things, the following facilities: High Speed Scan - lets you scan up to 40 channels per second and search up to 75 steps per seconds. Seek Scan/Search - you he

3、ar transmission about 5 seconds, then the scanner start scan/search to the next transmission. Triple Conversion Superheterodyne Receiver - virtually eliminates any interference from IF images, so you hear only the selected frequency. 23 Preprogrammed Search Bands - lets you search for transmissions

4、within preset frequency ranges, so you can find interesting frequencies more quickly. Ten Channel-Storage Banks - let you store 50 channels in each bank to group channels so calls are easier to identify. Auto Store - quickly finds and automatically stores active frequencies in each channel, then sea

5、rches for additional active frequencies while skipping previously stored channels. Rotary Tuner - lets you manually tune and select desired frequencies or channels. The scanners tune speed automatically changes depending on how fast you turn the rotary tuner. 10-Priority Channels - you can set the s

6、canner to check 10 channels so you do not miss important calls. Two-Second Scan Delay - delays scanning for about 2 seconds before moving to another channel or frequency, so you can hear more replies. Lock-Out Function - lets you set your scanner to skip over specified channels or frequencies when s

7、canning or searching. LCD Display - makes it easy to view and change programming information. Backlit Display - makes it easy to view and change programming information. 3 S-Meter - shows receiving signal strength. Tape Remote Jack - controls your tape recorder when the scanner receives the signal.

8、Memory Backup - keeps the channel frequencies stored in memory for about 3 months during a power loss. Two Power Options - let you power the scanner from standard AC power ( with the supplied AC power cord), or your vehicles battery (with an optional DC cigarette lighter power cord). Your AE100T sca

9、nner can receive all of these frequencies: ? 25-1300 MHz SEARCH BANDS Your scanner can tune over 115,000 different frequencies. Each of these frequencies is contained within a group of frequencies called a band. The scanner uses permanent memory locations called search bands (01-23) to group these b

10、ands. You can search these bands to quickly find active frequencies you might want to store into the scanners channels. The scanner has the following search bands BandSearch Range (MHz) 0126-28 0228-30 0331-32 0446-47 0550-54 0670-84 0784-87.495 0887.5-107.95 09108-118 10118-136.975 11144-146 12153-

You are advised to sa

12、tisfy yourself that you are aware of the various restrictions which might apply within a particular country. At no time will your supplier be liable for the unlawful use of a scanner. PREPARATION This scanner is primarily designed for use in the home as a base station. You can place it on a desk, sh

13、elf, or table. Your scanners front feet fold up or down. Adjust them to give you the best view of the display. HOW TO AFFIX THE AERIAL SUPPLYED WITH THE SCANNER Screw the telescopic aerial supplied into the hole situated in the top right-hand corner of the scanner. The length of the aerial will affe

14、ct the quality of the reception achieved by the scanner. For maximum reception, use the aerial as follows: 25-300 MHz: aerial should be fully extended 300-520 MHz: three sections of the aerial should be pulled out. 520-1300 MHz: aerial should be collapse all segments CONNECTING THE SCANNER TO AN OUT

15、SIDE AERIAL (OPTIONAL) The telescopic aerial provided will normally be perfectly adequate for the purpose of receiving strong, local signals. In order to receive the weaker signals also, an outside aerial may be connected to the aerial connector situated at the rear of the AE100T. For this purpose,

16、use a special scanner aerial your supplier will be able to provide you with further information on this subject. Place the outside aerial on as high a location as possible, and assemble it in accordance with the instructions provided. To link the aerial to the scanner, use a 5 coaxial cable. For any

17、 distance of less than 15 meters, cable of the RG58 type may be used, whereas for longer cables the use of the thicker RG8 type is recommended. CONNECTING POWER Plug the scanners attached AC power cord into a standard AC outlet. The memory backup circuit begins to function a few minutes after you su

18、pply power to the scanner. How long the scanner will maintain channels stored in memory depends on how long power has been suplied to the scanner. For example, if power is supplied to the scanner for at least 4 days, the memory backup circuit maintains the channels stored in memory for up to 3 month

19、s. USING A DC ADAPTER You can power the scanner from your vehicles cigarette lighter socket, provided the vehicle has a 12-volt, negative-ground electrical system. To do so, you need a DC Adapter. Its centre tip must be set to positive (+), and it must have a plug that properly fits the scanners PWR

20、 jack. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the scanner or the adapter. When you finish using the DC adapter, disconnect it from the cigarette lighter first. Then disconnect it from the scanner. RESTARTING/RESETTING THE SCANNER If the scanner has not been connected f

21、or some time, it may occur that the scanner fails to react to the keying in of certain commands; also, the display unit could appear not to be functioning normally. In such cases, the restart procedure needs to be carried out: 1. Switch on the scanner. 2. Use a pointed object e.g. a straightened pap

22、er clip to press the RESTART button which is located rear panel. If the scanner still does not work properly, you might have to reset it. If you reset the scanner, the information stored in the computer memory will be lost. Therfore take the utmost care when carrying out the following procedure: 1.

23、Switch on the scanner. 6 2. Press and hold down the CLEAR button on the keyboard whilst pressing the RESTART button by means of a pointed object. First release the RESTART button, then release the CLEAR button. CONNECTING AN EXTERNAL SPEAKER You can connect an optional external speaker with a 3.5 mm

24、 plug to the scanner. Use an 8-ohm external speaker capable of handling over 2.5 watts of power (not supplied). Insert the speakers plug into the EXT SPKR jack on the back of the scanner. Note: Plugging in an external speaker disconnects the scanners internal speaker. CONNECTING HEADPHONES You can c

25、onnect an optional pair of headphones with a 3.5 mm plug to the scanner. Use monaural headphones. Insert the headphones plug into the PHONE jack on the front of the scanner. Note: Plugging in headphones disconnects the scanners internal speaker. CONNECTING A TAPE RECORDER You can connect an optional

26、 tape recorder to your scanner to record transmissions. To record from the scanner, you need a tape recorder with a microphone jack. Also, you need a connecting cable with a phono plug and a 3.5 mm plug. 1. Insert the connecting cables phono plug into the TAPE OUT jack on the back of the scanner. 2.

27、 Connect the other end of the connecting cable to your tape recorders microphone jack. Follow the instructions provided with your tape recorder to record transmissions while the scanner is on. 7 UNDERSTANDING YOUR SCANNER A LOOK AT THE KEYPAD Your scanners keys might seem confusing at first, but thi

Turn SQUELCH fully counterclockwise. 2. Turn VOLUME OFF/MAX clockwise u

45、ntil it clicks and you hear a hissing sound. 3. Turn SQUELCH clockwise, then leave it set to a point just after the hissing sound stops. The scanner automatically starts scanning channels. Press MANUAL to stop scanning. Notes: ? If you have not stored frequencies into any channels (see Searching For

46、 and Storing Active Frequencies on Page 13), the scanner does not scan. ? If the scanner picks up unwanted, partial, or very weak transmissions, turn SQUELCH clockwise to decrease the scanners sensitivity to these signals. If you want to listen to a weak or distant station, turn SQUELCH counterclock

47、wise. ? If SQUELCH is adjusted so you always hear a hissing sound, the scanner does not scan properly. USING THE ROTARY TUNER The scanners rotary tuner lets you quickly select channels and frequencies manually. As you turn TUNE one click, the channel or frequency changes one step at a time. Notes: ?

48、 If you quickly turn TUNE, the rate at which the scanner tunes through the channels or frequencies becomes faster. ? If you turn TUNE too slowly, the scanner might accidentally change the search or scan direction. Tuning Channel Numbers To tune channel numbers, press MAN, then turn TUNE clockwise (t

49、o tune to higher channel numbers) or counterclockwise (to tune to lower channel numbers). 13 Note: If you have not stored any frequencies into channels yet, the scanner displays the empty channels. Tuning Frequencies Note: You can use the rotary tuner to tune frequencies during a search (see Searching For and Storing Active Frequencies on page 13). Follow these steps to use the rotary tuner to tune frequencies. 1. When the scanner stops on a frequency while searching, press TUNE. The frequency number and T
