You should now see ----- on the display until the scanner stops on a conversation. Then if the
system type is E2-800/900 Motorola, the display will show from 2 to 5 numbers, which is an ID.
If type I or IIi it may list XXX-XX, if EDACS it may be XX-XXX.
Programming ID’s
1. Press SCAN
2. Press ^ button (----- should be on the display)
3. Navigate up or down until the number 1 appears on the left and a smaller number 1 is in upper left
4. Using the numbered keys, enter the 2 to 5 digits ID for E2-800/900 or (note, for Mot Type I or
EDACS, ID’s use the period key for the hyphen).
5. Press E
6. Press ^ button (the number on left will increase with each entry)
7. Repeat steps 4 through 6 until all known ID’s are entered
Note: after programming 10 ID’s, the number 1 appears on the left again and a number 2 appears in
the upper left, this is a new ID Scan List. The scanner has 5 of these Scan Lists (sub-banks) for
a total of 50 ID’s per scan bank.

appears on display, then follow steps 4 through 11 in that section until all frequencies are
entered. Then follow steps 1 through 5 for E2-Hi above.
Ed=EDACS, at step 2 under Programming for Trunking above, press ^ button repeatedly until Ed
appears on the display, then follow steps 4 through 11 in that section until all frequencies
are entered.
E1=Mot, User set fleetmap (not preset) because most are not preset.
1. Press and hold TRUNK until you hear two beeps, all 20 bank number should be flashing.
2. Press the number for the bank you want to program, E2-800 should be on the display and your
bank, number should be upper left.
3. Press ^ button repeatedly until E1 appears in the display, then press E
4. Press DATA
5. Press up/HOLD repeatedly until USr is in the display, then press DATA
6. b0 S - 0 should be on the display; b=Block, 0=block 0; S=Size code, 0=Size code 0. (note)
by pressing ^ button repeatedly, notice the number after the S (Size Code) increases and the b0
flashes. b0 is the first Block, if your source gives you a size for Block 0, stop or go back by
pressing LIMIT to your Size code for this block.
7. Press E b0 changed to b1 and S - 0 reappears.
8. Repeat step 6 and 7 until all size codes are entered.
Note, If any size code is 12, then it will take two blocks. If any size code is 13, then it will
take four blocks. If your size code is 14, then it will take all blocks.
After all 8 blocks are programmed (blocks 0 through 7) press Search. If your frequencies are
programmed, you should pick up communications and the type I (or II if Hybrid) ID's should be
present during Comms.
Program ID’s using the Programming ID’s section above.
