General Use

Turn the scanner OFF before disconnecting the power.

Location

Do not use the scanner in high-moisture environments such as the kitchen or bathroom.

Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight or near heating elements or vents.

If the scanner receives strong interference or electrical noise, move it or its antenna away from the source of the noise. If possible, a higher elevation, may provide better reception.

Cleaning

Disconnect the power to the unit before cleaning.

Clean the outside of the scanner with a mild detergent.

To prevent scratches, do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Be careful not to rub the LCD window.

Do not use excessive amounts of water.

Repairs

Do not attempt any repair. The scanner contains no user serviceable parts. Contact the Uniden Customer Service Center or take it to a qualified repair technician.

Birdies

All radios can receive birdies (undesired signals). If your scanner stops during Scan mode and no sound is heard, it may be receiving a birdie. Birdies are internally generated signals inherent in the electronics of the receiver.

Press L/O to lockout the channel, and then press RSM to resume scanning.
