Connecting an Earphone

For private listening, you can connect an earphone (not supplied) with a 3.5 mm plug to the

EXT. SP. jack on the back of the scanner. Be very careful as damage to your hearing can

result if the VOLUME control is not set to the lowest level first. See below for “Listening Safely” instructions. (Your local electronics store should carry a wide selection of earphones.) Once the earphone is connected, it will automatically disconnects the internal speaker.

Listening Safely

To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use an earphone or headphones.

•Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.

•Set the VOLUME to the lowest setting before you begin listening. After you begin listening, adjust the VOLUME to a comfortable level.

•Once you set the VOLUME, do not increase it. Over time, your ears adapt to the volume level, so a volume level that does not cause discomfort might still damage your hearing.

Connecting the Clone Cable

You can transfer the programmed data to and from another UBC780XLT scanner using an RS232C Cable (9 pin to 9 pin) (not supplied). Connect the cable between each scanner’s REMOTE jacks. See “Clone Mode” on page 56. You can also upload or download the programmed data to or from a PC using an optional PC interface kit available through your local electronics store.

Connecting the Tape Recorder

You can use a standard tape recorder or a VOX (Voice Operated Control) recorder.

To connect the recorder to the scanner, connect a cable with a 1/8 inch (3.5 mm) plug from the tape recorder’s remote jack to the TAPE OUT jack on the back of the scanner. (Your local electronics store should carry a wide selection of cables and tape recorders.) Refer to the “Record” section under “Additional Features” in the manual.

Remember!

•You must mark a channel, ID, talkgroup, or bank for Recording in order for this

feature to work. The LINE icon appears on all channels that have been properly marked.

•This feature does not work if your scanner is set with MUTE ON.

•The VOLUME control affects the Audio output. Do not set the volume on minimum. Make a trial taping to be certain the volume levels are set correctly.
