2.While pressing [2], [9], and [HOLD] at the same time, turn on power. At that point anything you have programmed is gone.

You are given a last opportunity to keep the factory programmed data when you see the question:

:Restore Preprogram List? Yes=”E”/”No= ”.”

If you do not say Yes, the scanner is totally empty.

Connecting Your Scanner to a Personal Computer

You can connect your scanner, by means of the supplied cable, to a personal computer to download data from the computer to the memory of the scanner. Before you proceed, you must first set the scanner’s communications speed as described in the previous section. In addition you will need a copy of Uniden Advanced Scanner Director software. You can download the software from http://www.uniden.com in the Customer Service Downloads link.

Important: Start with a high baud rate setting. If, during transfer, you get an error message, reduce the setting and start again until you get reliable, complete transfer of data.

Volume/Squelch with PC Control

If you use a PC to control the scanner, and you change the scanner’s volume or squelch setting using the PC, the scanner ignores the front-panel control’s current setting. However, if you later change the volume or squelch setting using the front-panel control, the scanner uses the control’s setting (i.e. the scanner pays attention to the last method used).

Wired Cloning

Using the scanner in a cloning setup lets you transfer programmed data directly from a source or master BCD996T to a target or slave BCD996T. Wired cloning between other models to the BCD996T is not possible.
