is that my homework assignment for today?

just thought someone would have a simple explanation for me
thank you anyway, for your input.

I linked you directly to the section that explains what the display is showing, it answers your question. Don't be that guy, spend 30 seconds reading it and learn.

Wow, spoon fed and he spits out his baby food. I don't know why you even bother anymore.

You are presently scanning the favorites list which has a favorites list quick key of 3 (Flashing). Favorites list quick keys 1, 3, and 7 are on (Number shown). Favorites list quick keys 5, 8, and 9 are off (Asterisk). Favorites list quick keys 0, 2, 4, and 6 are unassigned (Hyphen). The "0" after "F" is a times 10 multiplier. If F0, the quick keys shown are 0 thru 9. If F1, the quick keys shown are 10 thru 19. If F9, the quick keys shown are 90 thru 99. The line with S0 are system quick keys which work in a similar manner. The BCD536HP does not display department/site quick keys.

This is why people need to learn to program their scanners and not just buy preprogrammed ones. You would think if he indeed has all the scanners listed, he wouldn't have had to ask the question.
