Uniden SC180 manual Birdies, Proper Care of Your Scanner

Birdies

All scanners are subject to receiving undesired signals or birdies. If your scanner stops during SEARCH Mode and no sound is heard, it may be receiving a birdie. Birdies are internally generated signals inherent in the electronics of the scanner. Use the Search Skip feature to skip the unwanted frequencies.

Proper Care of Your Scanner

Use only the AC Adapter/Charger that came with your scanner.

Do not leave the AC Adapter/Charger plugged in for long periods.

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

Also, do not subject the scanner to continuous sub-zero temperatures. If the scanner is exposed to temperatures below -5°F or above 140°F, the liquid crystal display may temporarily cease to function properly, or can become permanently damaged.
