Scanning Overview

Note: Before operating the uac 2500XLT for the first time, make sure you have fully charged the Battery Pack.

1.Beforeturning on the scanner, rotate the Squelch Control fully clockwise.

2.Turn the scanner on by rotating the On-OttNolume Control clockwise until you hear a click.

3.Adjust the volume to a comfortable listening level.

4.Turn the Squelch Control counterclockwise just until the "rushing" noise disappears. At the squelch threshold, any incoming signal just slightly stronger than the noise will open the squelch.

Note: When squelch is open, you can hear the broadcast

(scanning is stopped). If squelch is set too tight, that is, too far counterclockwlse from the threshold point, a stronger signal I

is required to open the squelch. If squelch is set on a point clockwise from the threshold, you will hear a constant sound

(noise, if no signal is present) The scanner will not scan.

The UBC 2500XL T has 400 memory channels, each of which can be programmed to store one frequency. The channels are divided into twenty 20-channel banks, useful for storing similar frequencies in order to maintain faster scanning cycles.

You can monitor communication in one of two ways:

. Bank SCAN If you have programmed channels, you'

can scan all programmed channels in the selected

bank(s), except locked out channels. When scanning stops on an active frequency, it remains on that channel

as long as the transmission continues. If the Delay Mode is on, the scanner remains on the same channel

for 2 more seconds, waiting for a responding transmission. If there is no responding transmission within 2 seconds, the scanning cycle resumes.

. Band SEARCH The Search function is different from

Scan. When you select a frequency band to search, the scanner searches for any active frequency within the lower and upper limits of the band. When an active frequency is found, the scanner stops on that frequency

as long as the transmission lasts. If the Delay Mode is on, the scanner remains on the same channel for 2

more seconds, waiting for a responding transmission. If there is no responding transmission within 2 seconds, the scanning cycle resumes.
