Uniden BC370CRS owner manual Selecting Areas for Alerts

Selecting Areas for Alerts

To limit alerts to specific areas, in weather mode press the soft key for the area you want to turn on or off. Activated areas are reverse-printed in the display. Or, to receive alerts for all areas, press the ALL soft key to reverse-highlight that option.

Note:

If you don’t select an area, the scanner will never sound an alert.

Receiving Alerts

The scanner receives alerts even if it is in standby mode (power off). Select the appropriate weather, AM, FM, or TV broadcast channel. Then, power-off the scanner. The bottom line of the display will indicate the frequency the scanner is monitoring for alerts. If an alert is received, the scanner sounds an alert tone, then you hear the audio for the alert. The alert message summary is also displayed across the bottom of the display.

During an alert, the terminals on the back of the scanner provide a switch closure to activate external sounders or strobes (optional). These can be easily controlled using an X10 PRO PowerFlash Interface (Model PSC01- Input Mode A). See the interface’s instructions for installation of such devices.
