Mobile Installation

Plan the location of the radio bracket

before starting the installation. Select a

location that is convenient for opera- tion and does not interfere with the

driver or passenger in the vehicle. The bracket should be securely fastened to a solid surface using the self tapping

screws provided. Mount the scanner to the bracket with the thumb screws

and adjust the angle of the radio.

INcSTALl

The radiation and reception pattern of a vehicular antenna always conforms

to the ground plane (metal shape' lo-

cated below the antenna. ,l\ roof mounted antenna provides virtually an

omnidirectional pattern. If the anten- na was mounted on the left rear fen-

der, the best reception would occur from the right front fender of the vehi- cle, with greatly reduced reception from the left rear. Avoid mounting the antenna on a front fender, as ignition noise can limit reception.

Connecting the Power

The UBC 760XLT is designed to be used in 'any vehicle which has a 13.8- volt DC negative-ground electrical sys- tem. Ifyou cannot determine the po-

larityofyourvehicle, consultyourvehi- cle dealer for information.

Note: The use of this radio in a motor vehicle may be regulated or require a permit in certain states or certain cities.

Telescopic Antenna

The UBC 760XLT includes a telescopic antenna for use in desktop installtions. Insert the antenna into the opening on

the rear apron of the radio, and fully ex- tend it. Under normal conditions this

antenna should provide excellent re- ception. However, factors such as loca- tion within your home, and proximity to electrical appliances may determine reception quality. For weak signal re- ception or electrically noisy locations, an external antenna may be helpful.

AC Adapter

The UBC 760XLT can be powered by

the AC Adapter included with the scanner which converts standard

household current to 12.0 V Dc. Plug the small connector of the AC Adapter

into the jack in the back of the radio marked DC 13.8V. Plug the other end

into any standard 220 VAC household outlet.

Mobile Antenna

In the mobile application the Bearcat

760XLT will require an external vehicle antenna. Use a mobile antenna de-

signed for multi-band coverage. For maximum effectiveness, the external antenna should be fed with Iow loss 50 ohm coaxial such as RG58 foam. Re-

member, you have purchased the fin- est mobile scanner available, so don't

compromise its performance with an inferior antenna. We recommend us-

ing the (optional' Uniden BC-ATJ mo- bile antenna for best results.

Ideally, the antenna should be mount-

ed directly in the center of the vehicle's roof.

The UBC 760XLT should be connected directly to the fuse block or battery of

your car. Connect the power cord to the back of the radio in thejack marked

"DC 13.8V".

Desktop Installation

The UBC 760XLT has a unique design feature that allows the unit to be used

as an in-home scanner. The fold-out foot sets the unit at a proper angle for desk or table-top use. Simplyswing the

foot out until it locks in its upright posi- tion.

Note: Please be sure that the foot is folded out completely in order to avoid accidental damage to the unit.

Note: Please be sure to use only model 818F41 24 AC Adapter, as higher vol- tage, or reverse polarity may damage your unit.

Memory Backup

Frequencies maintained in the UBC 760XLT memory are protected from loss in the event of electrical power in- terruption by lithium battery. This bat- tery should be replaced every 10years.
