The can search each of 12 bands to find active frequencies. This is different from scanning, because you can search for frequencies that have not been programmed into your . You can choose between two speeds for the search feature. With Turbo Search, a new feature for Uniden scanners, you can search the VHF FM bands at up to 3 times the normal speed.

Feature Highlights

30 Channels – Program one frequency into each channel. You must have at least one channel programmed to use the Scan mode.

29 MHz-512 MHz – Search these frequency ranges with your scanner. (The frequency coverage is not totally continuous from 29 MHz to 512 MHz.)

Chain Searching – You can define five different personal search bands, and search up to all five chain locations at once.

Priority Channel Scanning – Allows you to designate a priority channel which is monitored every two seconds when Priority Scanning is selected.

Manual Channel Access – Go directly to any channel.

Memory Backup – Frequencies programmed in channels are retained in memory. If power is completely disconnected, the frequencies are retained for one hour.

Weather Scan – Use as a weather information radio.

Preset Two-second Delay – Scanner waits two seconds after transmission stops before resuming scanning.

LCD Back Light – An orange LCD light remains on for 15 seconds when

l is pressed.

Setup

These are helpful guidelines when using your new scanner:

If your scanner receives interference or electrical noise, move the scanner or its antenna away from the source.

If you need to improve reception, use an optional antenna designed for multi-band coverage.(You can purchase this type of antenna at a local electronics store.)

Use the included earphone or an optional stereo headset with proper impedance for private listening. Read the precautions on the inside front cover of this Guide.

Programming Tips

Do not program a weather frequency into one of the channels, since weather channels transmit continuously. Use

Group similar frequencies into adjacent channels. For example, program police frequencies in channels 1 through 10 and fire/emergency into channels 11 through 20, and so on.

Put the frequency that you listen to the most or the most important frequency into a Priority channel.

To quickly program a series of channels, start with the lowest number channel. For example, when you are programming five new frequencies into Channels 4 through 8, start with Channel 4. After you finish programming a channel, press

to go to the next higher channel.

To erase the channel, press , and then press

1. Wait until the scanner stops at the channel.

Then press .

3. The scanner immediately resumes scanning because the locked out channel is no longer in the scanning sequence.

Lockout Tips

To quickly lockout a series of channels, start with the lowest number channel.

For example, if you are locking out channels 4, 7, 8, 12, and 15, start with Channel 4. After selecting channel 4, press more times to step up to the next channel to be locked out.

Record the locked-out channels in some convenient place so you can restore them.

Priority Scan

When Priority Scan is turned on, your scanner checks the priority channel every two seconds for activity.

Care and Maintenance

General Use

Turn the scanner off before disconnecting the power or replacing the batteries.

Always write down the programmed frequencies in the event of memory loss.

If memory is lost, simply reprogram each channel. The display shows there has been a memory loss.

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, may provide better reception. Also try changing the height or angle of the antenna.

Do not plug the scanner into an outlet controlled by a wall switch because long power interruptions may cause memory loss.

000.0000 in all channels when

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.

Page 32

Repairs

Do not attempt any repair. The scanner contains no 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.
