Scanner Care & Safety Tips
Do not use the scanner in high-moisture areas such as the kitchen or bath-
room.
Do not plug the scanner into an outlet controlled by a wall switch as pro-
longed periods without power causes scanner memory loss.
Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight or near heating elements or vents.
Where to Obtain More Information
Before you can scan, you must program a frequency into each channel you
want to use. The “Betty Bearcat Scanner Frequency Guide” lists typical fre-
quencies used around the U.S. and Canada that you may program into the
BC80XLT.
If the frequencies listed in the “Betty Bearcat Starter Frequency Guide” do not
work in your area, call the enclosed “Mr. Scanner” 800 number. A Uniden
representative should be able to provide you with a few sample frequencies.
Or, use the enclosed order form to purchase a local frequency list.
The Bearcat Radio Club and other similar hobby clubs have publications,
information on computer bulletin boards, and even contests for the radio en-
thusiast. Also, your local library has more information.
