Care and Maintenance
General Use
Turn the scanner OFF before disconnecting the power.
Always write down the programmed frequencies in the
event of memory loss.
If memory is lost, simply reprogram each channel.
The display shows 000.0000 in all channels when there has
been a memory loss.
Always press each button firmly until you hear the entry
tone for that key entry, unless you have turned 2:OFF the
3:KEY BEEP in the menu system.
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, may provide better
reception.
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
may be receiving a birdie. Birdies are internally generated
signals inherent in the electronics of the receiver.
Press L/O to lockout the channel, and then press RSM to
resume scanning.
