Care and Maintenance

Care and Maintenance

General Use

Turn the scanner off before disconnecting the power.

If memory is lost, simply reprogram each channel.

Always press each button firmly until you hear the entry tone for that

key entry.

Location

Do not use the scanner in high-moisture environments such as the

kitchen or bathroom.

Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight or near heating elements or

vents.

If the scanner receives strong interference or electrical noise, move it

or its antenna away from the source of the noise. If possible, a higher

elevation might provide better reception.

Also try changing the height or angle of the antenna.

Cleaning

Disconnect the power to the unit before cleaning.

Clean the outside of the scanner with a mild detergent.

To prevent scratches, do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Be

careful not to rub the LCD window.

Do not use excessive amounts of water.

Repairs

Do not attempt any repair. The scanner contains no user serviceable

parts. Contact the Uniden Customer Service Center or take it to a

qualified repair technician.

Birdies

All radios can receive “birdies” (undesired signals). If your scanner stops

during Scan mode and no sound is heard, it might be receiving a birdie.

Birdies are internally generated signals inherent in the electronics of the

scanner. Press

L/O to lock out the channel.

Resetting the Scanner (Clearing all Memories)

To reset the scanner to factory defaults, turn off the scanner. Then, while

holding down

2, 9, and HOLD, turn on the scanner. All scanner memory

contents are erased .
