Helpful Hints
The UBC 70XLT is a high quality electron
ic radio receiver. The following hints should
help you understand and enjoy your unit.
1. Make sure the unit is turned off before
disconnecting the power. You may want to
record the programmed frequencies before
power is imciTupted in case memory is
lost.
2. If memory is lost, simply reprogram
each channel. Memory loss will be in -
dicaied by unfamiliar frequencies in each
channel.
3.
If strong interference or electrical noise
is received, you may need ю relocate your
scanner. A higher elevation such as the se -
cond floor may provide better reception.
4. Whenever the keypad is used it is impor -
lant to press firmly on the center of each
key.
5. Do not use the scanner in high moisture
environments such as the bathroom or kil -
chen. Avoid placing the unit in direct sun -
light or near heating elements or heating
vents,
6. Clean outside cabinet with mild deter -
gent. Do not use abrasive cleansers or sol -
vents. Be careful not to rub LX3D window
area.
7. There are no user serviceable parts inside
with the exception of the battery pack. Do
not attempt any repairs except replacing
batteries.
1. Every 2 - 3 months the scanner should
be left on to drain all battery power. Be
sure to write down the programmed
frequencies for reprogramming when
batteries are recharged,
2. Recharge the batteries overnight to
insure a full charge.
3. Do not leave the charger plugged in for
long periods of time. Do not recharge the
unit unless needed.
Birdies
All radios are subject to receiving undesired
signals. If the UBC 70XLT stops during

receiving a "Birdie”. Birdies are internally
generated signals inherent in the electro -
nics of the receiver. Press the Scan key to
continue scarming.
