Rechargeable Batteries

The UBC 70XL T comes with a recharge':' able NiCad battery pack. When fully

To replace the battery pack, slide the battery door down and off the back of the unit. Unplug the old battery and connect the new one. Be sure to charge the scanner overnight before operating the unit.

See the Optional Accessories section for replacement battery information.

External Antenna

The UBC 70XL T is designed to be used

You may find an external antenna to be helpful in fringe areas or for mobile use. Always use 50 - 70 ohm coaxial cable for

lead-in. For lengths in excess of 50 feet, RG8AU low-loss foam dielectric coax is

recommended. Your scanner is equipped with a standard BNC connector. A mating plug (optional) may be necessary for external antenna connection.

Antenna Imtallation

The flexible rubber antenna provided with your unit is recommended for most moni - toring. Insert the connector into the an - tenna jack on the top of the unit and twist to lock. For weak reception or electrical interference, a different location may be helpful. An external antenna may also provide better reception.
