Nickel-Metal Hydride Battery Disposal

When the battery supplied with your scanner no longer holds a charge, you need to replace it. Contact Uniden Parts department for a replacement battery pack.

Nickel-hydride batteries must be disposed of properly. Minnesota requires you to recycle nickel-metal hydride batteries. Contact the Portable Rechargeable Battery Association at 1-800-225-PRBA for information concerning reclamation and disposal of nickel-metal hydride batteries.

Installing the Antenna

Twist the antenna’s BNC connector onto the BNC jack on the scanner, as shown.

If you are frequently traveling in a system’s fringe area, you might want to connect an external antenna for better reception and range. While the supplied antenna works well for general use, an external antenna will enhance performance on weak systems.

An antenna properly selected for the band you are monitoring can greatly extend the range, especially when you are monitoring digital trunking systems.

Installing the Belt Clip

The belt clip is designed to fit snugly on the back of the scanner.

Line up the four snap-in arms with the grooves on the scanner and snap the belt clip into place, as shown.

Using Headphones or an

External Speaker

For private listening, or for listening in a noisy area, you can plug a 1/8-inch (3.5mm) mini-plug earphone’s or headphone’s or monitor speaker’s (not supplied) cable into the headphone jack on top of the scanner. This automatically disconnects the scanner’s internal speaker.
