Care and Maintenance
General Use
•Turn the scanner off before disconnecting the power.
•Always write down the programmed frequencies in the event of memory loss.
•If memory is lost, simply reprogram each channel. The display shows 000.0000 in all channels when there has been a memory loss.
•Always press each button firmly until you hear the entry tone for that key entry.
Location
•Do not use the scanner in
•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 might provide better reception.
•Also try changing the height or angle of the antenna.
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 might be receiving a birdie. Birdies are internally generated signals inherent in the electronics of the receiver.
Press L/O to lock out the channel, then press SCAN to resume scanning.
