GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Scanning is easy and fun with the Uniden@ Bearcat@ 175XL. Advanced elec- tronics provide programmable operation and dependability. The rubber key top keyboard has been designed for comfort and operating efficiency. It is divided into two sections: PROGRAM, which allows you to command any frequencies (VHF/UHF) on its 16 channels; and OPERATION. Volume and squelch levels are controlled by smooth acting knob adjustments. An 8-digit, back-lighted LCD display provides frequency, channel, lockout, delay, priority, weather search and memory loss information. A unique capacitor type memory back-up eUminates the need for batteries. The case is constructed of high impact plastic.

MEMORY BACK-UP

The Uniden@ Bearcat@ 175XL is equipped with a unique capacitor type memory back-up. The capacitor back-up will provide approximately four hours of memory retention in the event of a power interruption. When memory loss has occurred, the memory loss message will be displayed. It will remain on the display until

any operating key is pressed. The system is completely automatic and requires no maintenance.

INSTRUCTIONS OPTIONAL ANTENNA

An external antenna may be helpful in fringe areas. Always use 50-70ohm coax- ial cable for lead-in. For lengths in excess of 50 feet, RG8AU Iow-loss foam dielectric coax is recommended. Your scanner is equipped with a standard automotive type antenna connector. A mating plug (optional) must be used.
