following U. S. [. . . ] PRIVATE Bank Scanning If you have programmed frequencies into this bank, press [PRIVATE] to scan only those that you have programmed in this bank. Note: Before you can scan the Private bank, you must program frequencies into the channels. To program frequencies, see "Programming Frequencies" on page 24. When scanning stops on an active frequency, it remains on that channel as long as the transmission continues. When the transmission ends, the scanner will remain on the same channel for 2 more seconds, waiting for a responding transmission. If there is no responding transmission within 2 seconds, the scanning cycle resumes.
Getting Started
The following instructions apply when using your BC350C (except for in the Program mode) for the very first time. Each time you turn on the scanner, it always retains the previous settings in its memory. That is, the scanner operates in the mode and bank last used, until you change the settings. Adjust the volume to where you can hear a steady noise.

3. Set the squelch at the scanning threshold by turning [SQ] counterclockwise just until the noise disappears. Press any of the Service bank keys: [POLICE], [FIRE/EMS], [AIR/MRN], [WX], or [CB]. Note: Later, when you have learned how to program channels in the Private bank, you can press [PRIVATE] to scan your favorite collections. Adjust the volume to a comfortable listening level.
Adjusting the Squelch
1. At the squelch threshold, an incoming signal just slightly stronger than the noise will open the squelch. Note: When squelch is open, you can hear a voice or hissing if squelch is set too low and there is no transmission (scanning is stopped). If squelch is set too tight, that is, too far counterclockwise from the threshold point, a stronger signal is required to open the squelch.

Scanning
To start scanning, press any bank key: [POLICE], [FIRE/EMS], [AIR/MRN], [WX], [CB], or [PRIVATE] keys. When the BC350C is scanning, you can see the "SCAN" message moving across the display. Scanning stops on any active channel automatically and displays its frequency, except those channels programmed with L/O (Lock Out). The scanner remains on the displayed channel until you press the bank key again to resume scanning. (Or, you can press [SEARCH] to start searching. ) In the Scan/Hold Mode, each time you press [UP] or [DOWN], you step up or down one channel at a time (one frequency step each for the AIR bank). In the Scan/Hold Mode, you do not skip a locked out (L/O) channel using [UP] or [DOWN]. While scanning and the scanner stops on an active channel that you do not want to monitor, but you do not want to lock out, you can simply press the bank key: [PRIVATE], [POLICE], [FIRE/EMS], [WX], or [CB] again or [UP]. [. . . ] Scan won't stop · Check and adjust Squelch (see "Adjusting the Squelch" on page 18). · It is possible that none of the programmed frequencies are active at the time. Try the band search.
