Troubleshooting

If your UBCT9 is not performing properly, try the following steps.

Problem

Suggestion

 

 

 

Scanner won’t work.

1.

Check the connections at both ends of the AC Adapter.

 

2.

Turn ON the wall switch of your room. You could be

 

 

using an outlet controlled by the wall switch.

 

3.

Move the AC Adapter to another wall outlet.

 

 

 

Improper reception.

1.

Check the antenna connection.

 

2.

Move the scanner.

 

3.

You may be in a remote area which could require an

 

 

optional multi-band antenna. Check with your dealer or

 

 

local electronics store.

 

 

 

Scan won’t stop.

1.

Adjust squelch threshold - refer to page 14, “Setting the

 

 

Squelch”.

 

2.

Check the antenna connection.

 

3.

Check to see if many of the channels are Locked Out.

 

 

If so, the scanner has less chance of finding an active

 

 

channel.

 

4.

Review each channel’s frequency to see if it is still

 

 

stored in Memory and is correct.

 

5.

It’s possible that none of the programmed frequencies

 

 

are currently active.

 

 

 

Scan won’t start.

1.

Press SCAN key again.

 

2.

Adjust the SQL control.

 

3.

Check to see if all channels are Locked Out
