That makes sense. It would be like taking a new MP3 player out of the box and pressing "Play".Oh sure I remember what I did. I didn't look to see what my GF tried doing. I should preface this by saying that I do not have an iPod, iPhone or ANYTHING "Apple". I do have an MP3 player and cell phone and lots of scanners.....
I pressed and held the button with the clock symbol to turn it on. I don't recall if the menu came up or I had to press MENU to get to it. But I recall trying to just press PLAY from power up and got a message that there was nothing selected to play.
Every "selectable" item had an empty square (a "checkbox") to its left. Pressing the SEL key would've selected ("checked") that item and everything below it in the hierarchy (e.g. for a trunked system, it would've selected every site and every talkgroup).In the menu I selected California, then Sacramento County. I remember being given a list of "types of agencies" (my words, not what the scanner used). I selected the trunked system. As I recall I had to use the -> arrow key each time I selected something. When I got into the trunked system it gave me every TG. I didn't see a way to select "ALL".
Pressing the "Play / Pause / SELect" key would've toggled the selection state of the current item. That merely "selects" the item for import. You then need to either a) press the MENU key to bring up a menu from which you can continue the import process or b) left-arrow out until you're presented with that same menu.Attempting to press PLAY at this time led me nowhere. None of the other keys seemed to get me anywhere as well.
Not within the "import" process, it doesn't. It asks you if you want to import the selected items, go back to the selection menus, or return to the main menu.the MENU key takes you back to the beginning.
Yes, there is. It's the round key in the middle, labeled Play (icon) / Pause (icon) / SEL.There is no "select" key
and PLAY didn't get me in to play apparently because I had not yet populated a play list. And the fact the scanner had nothing in its play list shows me no one else had gotten that far either (including the store employees).
Or maybe nobody else actually "PLAYed" with it enough
I'll try to create a little sample video in a bit.
