Before you can scan, you must program a frequency into each channel you want to use. The Betty Bearcat Starter Frequency Guide lists typical frequencies used around the U.S. that you may u s e t o program the BC60XLT . If the frequencies listed do not work in your area, call the 800 number on the yellow sheet enclosed with the guide.
Setup Power Installing Batteries 1. Open cover. 2. Insert batteries IMPORTANT I f you are installing Alkaline Batteries, set the switch to “Reg. Alk BATT.” If installing Nickel-Cadmium Batteries, set the switch to “Ni-Cd BATT.” WARNING! Do not mix Alkaline Batteries with Nickel-Cadmium Batteries.
AC Adapter/Charger Use the included AC Adapter/Charger to power the BC60XLT from an AC source. The AC Adapter/ Charger also recharges Nickel-Cadmium Batteries while they are installed in the scanner. WARNING! Do n o t charge Alkaline Batteries in this scanner.

— OR— 3. Enter frequency. Each digit displays as you enter it. The decimal displays as a dash. If you make a mistake, press . twice and start over. 3a. If frequency outside range. Programmed frequencies must be within the bands shown on the back of the scanner, and on page three of this guide.
4. Recheck frequency. The frequency appears one digit at a time in sequence. Repeat these steps to program each channel. You can program the same frequency into two or more channels, if desired. Channels with no frequency programmed are skipped during scanning.
How Squelch Works Think of “SQUELCH” as a gate. If the gate is set too low (SQUELCH too low), everything (all noise as well as signals) gets through. If the gate is set too high (SQUELCH too high), nothing gets through. If the gate is set just right (SQUELCH set properly), just the desired signals get through.
Setting the Squelch 1. Turn until hiss heard. This action lowers the “squelch gate,” allowing all signals and noise to get through. No signal should be present when adjusting squelch. Scanner doesn’t scan with squelch open. 2. Turn just until hiss stops.
The scanner skips any unprogrammed channels, and locked out channels. When transmission received: Scanner stops on that channel. When the transmission ends, scanning resumes after a two second delay.
To resume scanning: Scanner immediately resumes scanning. To listen to or program a specific channel: Note: For channel 10, press 1 , 0 . Press S to resume scanning.
Channel Lockout Channel Lockout lets you skip channels during scanning. There are two ways to lock out a channel: Manual Mode Use Manual mode to select the channel you want to lock out.
Scanning Mode When the scanner stops on a channel during scanning, you can lock out that channel by pressing O . Because the locked out channel is no longer scanned, scanning resumes immediately after pressing O . To unlock a channel: Use Manual mode to select the desired channel.
Note: For channel 10, press 1 , 0 . The L/O indicator disappears from the display after pressing O . Scanning Weather Channels To scan weather channels: 18 H:.
The BC60XLT finds the active weather channel in your area from seven preprogrammed NOAA frequencies. Note: The channel number does not indicate the NOAA weather frequency you hear. To review the weather frequency: The frequency displays one digit at a time, in sequence.
