WARNING.. When you first hear the beep toae, you should turn the
unit off and immediately replace your batteries (or recharge if NiCad
batteries are used) to avoid losing memory. When you replace weak
batteries, you must install the new ones immediately to keep the sca-
nner memory. Be sure to read the "Installing Batteries" section of this
guide before attempting to replace your batteries.
HELPFUL HINTS
The following hints are provided to help you get the most out ofyour newscan-
ner. By reading this entire guide, including this section, you will better under-
stand and enjoy your new Uniden(ii)Bearcat(ii)50XL.
1. Always remember to press the enter key when programing a frequency. If
theenter key is not pressed the frequency will not be programmed into that
channel. Itis agood idea to press the review key after entering a frequency
to confirm that the correct number was entered.
2. If you ever have to ship the unit. be sure to remove the antenna and place
it and the unit in the original styrofoam inner packing and box. One of the
most common causes of damage to electronic products is improper pack-
ing when shipping.
3. Remember that the liquid crystal display is subject to permanent damage
ifit is exposed toextremes intemperature or humidity. Take extra care with
your scanner in the winter and on sunny, summer days.
4. The Uniden(ii)Bearcat(ii)50XL never sleeps-its memory is always active
even though the power is turned off. Battery drain in the off mode is almost
as Iowas the discharge rate of the batteries alone. As long asyou observe
the battery Iowindicator and act accordingly, you shouldn't have any prob-
lem with memory loss.
5. Receiver sensitivity isaffected bythe location of the antenna and the en-
vironment that the unit is used in. Best reception will occur when the unit
is placed on a level metal surface with the antenna pointing up. Placing
the unit close to a window will also provide better reception.
6. Receivers, such as the Uniden@Bearcat(ii)50XL, which have broad tuning
ranges are subject to interference from internally generated signals ("Bir-
dies") on a few receiver frequencies. On these frequencies, reception of
external signals may be impaired. Nothing is wrong with your scanner if
this kind of interference occurs, unless it happens on a large number of
frequencies.
