Ensure the battery is fully charged, or plug in the AC adapter. Attach the flexible antenna, or connect your portable to an external antenna for better reception.

Press the "Scan" button to put the handheld into scanning mode and press "Manual" to enter manual programming mode. Your scanner will have a number of available channels that can be programmed. Enter the channel number you wish to use and press "Manual" again.

Enter the frequency you wish to store, using the numeric keypad. For example, if the frequency is 123.4567, you would press the "1," "2" and "3" keys, the decimal point and then the remaining digits.

Press the "E" or "Enter" key. The display will flash to show the frequency has been stored successfully. If the scanner beeps, that indicates you've already programmed that frequency into a different channel. Press "E" again to store it anyway, or the asterisk if you want to enter a different frequency.

Press "Scan" again to return to scanning mode.
