Uniden UBC144XLT - Manual (Page 17)

Troubleshooting
If your UBC144XLT is not performing properly, try the steps listed below.
Problem Solution
Scanner won’t work • Check the connections at both ends of the AC Adaptor
• Turn on the wall switch of your room. You could be
using an outlet controlled by the wall switch
• Move the AC Adaptor to another wall outlet
Improper reception • Check antenna coimection
• Move or angle the antenna
• If programmed frequency is higher than 406 MHz, a
shorter antenna length may improve the reception
• Relocate the scanner.
• You may be in a fringe area. This may require an
optional multi-band antenna. Check with your dealer
or local electronics store.
Scan won’t stop. • Adjust Squelch to the threshold
(see page 8, "Adjusting the Squelch.")
• Check the antenna connection.
• Check to see if many of tire channels are locked out.
If so, the sc aimer has less chance of finding an active
channel.
• Review each channel’s frequency to see if it is correct
and no memory has been lost.
• It is possible that none of the programmed
frequencies are active at this time.
Sciui won’t start. • Press the Scan button again.
• Adjust the Squelch Control.
• Check to see if 15 channels are locked out. If so,
unlock the channels as needed.
Weather Scan won’t work. • Adjust Squelch to the threshold
(see page 8, "Adjusting the Squelch.")
• Check antenna.
• No active station within range.
