Care and Maintenance
General Use
Turn the scanner off before disconnecting the power.
If memory is lost, simply reprogram each channel.
Always press each button firmly until you hear the entry tone for that key entry.
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 might
provide better reception.
Also try changing the height or angle of the antenna.
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” or undesired signals. If your scanner stops during
Scan mode and no sound is heard, it might be receiving a birdie. Birdies are
internally generated signals inherent in the electronics of the scanner.
Press [L/O] to lock out the channel.
