A few notes about the frequency download order:

1. The scanner fills up less than its allotted 300 channels if there are not more than 300 of the above types of licenses in your area.

2. If there are more than 300 of the above listed types of licenses, or you have locked-out some banks prior to the download using the Program Lock feature, the scanner may run out of memory locations and you may not, for example, receive part or all of your county, state or nationwide data.

3. If you wish to also receive a download of frequencies and talk groups from an adjacent county, lock those banks you wish to keep, shut the scanner off, turn it back on again and enter the SmartScanner download mode. Then enter a zip code from a community within the adjacent county.

4. The SmartScanner editors used their best efforts to delete digital and MDT (mobile data terminal) computer records from the database; however, it would be impossible to delete them all. Therefore, you may hear some non-voice transmissions on the frequencies downloaded into your scanner. Make sure you have TRUNK mode on to see if these are control channels for a trunking system. If not, then you should lock these frequencies out or delete them by entering a new frequency or entering 0, .

5. Important: After the download, be sure to press the trunk key to see if you have trunk systems now loaded for your area. The UBC 245XLT cannot track such systems unless the trunking mode is on. Performance of the scanner is not hindered if you have TRUNK mode on and you do not have a trunk system programmed.

6. If you have a trunk system programmed (you can tell by seeing if the display shows Id SCAN at any time), be sure to put the radio into Trunk Search mode at some point to discover new talk groups within the trunk system that have not been pre-programmed into the SmartScanner database.

7. The database will be updated every 6 to 12 months at a minimum.
