Troubleshooting

If your UBCT8 is not performing properly, try the following steps.

Problem		Suggestion
Scanner won't work.	1. Check the connections at both ends of the AC Adapter.
	2.	Turn ON the wall switch of your room. You could be using an
	3.	outlet controlled by the wall switch.
	3.	Move the AC Adapter to another wall outlet.

Improper reception.	1. Check the antenna connection.
	2.	Move the scanner.
	3.	You may be in a remote area which could require an optional
		multi-band antenna. Check with your dealer or local
		electronics store.
Scan won't stop.	1. Adjust squelch threshold - refer to page 14, "Setting the
	2.	Squelch".
	2.	Check the antenna connection.
	3.	Check to see if many of the channels are Locked Out.
		If so, the scanner has less chance of finding an active
	4.	channel.
	4.	Review each channel's frequency to see if it is still stored in
	5.	Memory and is correct.
	5.	It's possible that none of the programmed frequencies are
		currently active.

Scan won't start.	1. Press SCAN key again.
	2. Adjust the SQL control.
	3.	Check to see if all channels are Locked Out.
