Programming Your Scanner

To get the most enjoyment from your scanner, you must customize the programming for services in your area.

To edit an existing system, use the menu to navigate to the system setting you want to change. This section assumes you are programming a new system.

Programming radio systems is completed in two major steps. Don’t skip either step!

1.Plan the system.

2.Program the system into your scanner according to the plan you prepared in Step 1.

To make this easier, planning worksheets are available from Uniden’s website: http://www.uniden.com/scanners. There you can fill out a worksheet on line and then print it or print hardcopy to fill out as you see fit.
