The FCC Wants You to Know
This scanner has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a scanning receiver, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This scanner generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
There is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this scanner does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the scanner on and off, you are encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
• Increase the separation between the scanner and the receiver
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and 2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Scanning Legally
Your scanner covers frequencies used by many different groups, including police and fire departments, ambulance services, government agencies, private companies, amateur radio services, military operations, pager services, and wireline (telephone and telegraph) service providers. It is legal to listen to almost every transmission your scanner can receive. However, there are some transmissions that you should never intentionally listen to. These include:
• Telephone conversations (cellular, cordless, or other private means of telephone signal transmission)
• Pager transmissions
• Any scrambled or encrypted transmissions
According to the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA), you are subject to fines and possible imprisonment for intentionally listening to, using, or divulging the contents of such a conversation unless you have the consent of a party to the conversation (unless such activity is otherwise illegal). This scanner has been designed to prevent the reception of cellular telephone transmissions and the decoding of scrambled transmissions.
The FCC Wants You to Know
6
This is done to comply with the legal requirement that scanners be manufactured so they are not easy to modify to pick up these transmissions. Do not open your scanner’s case to make any modifications that could allow it to pick up transmissions that are illegal to monitor. Modifying or tampering with your scanner’s internal components or using it in a way other than as described in this manual could invalidate your warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. In some areas, mobile and/or portable use of this scanner is unlawful or requires a permit. Check the laws in your area. It is also illegal in many areas (and a bad idea everywhere) to interfere with the duties of public safety officials by traveling to the scene of an incident without authorization.

Introduction
17
Setting Up The Scanner
These guidelines will help you install and use your new scanner:
• If your scanner receives interference or electrical noise, move the scanner or its antenna away from the source. You might also try changing the height or angle of the antennas.
• Use an optional mono earphone or mono headset with proper impedance for private listening.
• Do not use the scanner in high-moisture environments such as in the kitchen or bathroom.
• Avoid placing the scanner in direct sunlight or near heating elements or vents.
Connecting Power
• Insert the supplied AC Adapter’s barrel plug into the power jack on the back of the scanner. Then plug the Adapter into a standard household outlet that supplies 120V AC, 60Hz. Do not plug the adapter into a switch controlled outlet.
• Open the battery compartment and insert 3 AA batteries. Be sure to note the polarity markings in the battery compartment. You can use either alkaline or rechargeable batteries, but the scanner will not recharge batteries in the compartment.
• Use only fresh alkaline AA batteries.
Rechargeable batteries can be used, but battery life is shorter than with alkaline batteries.
• Always remove old or weak batteries.
Batteries can leak chemicals that destroy electronic circuits.
• Do not mix old and new batteries,
different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable) or rechargeable batteries of different capacities.
18
Setting Up The Scanner
Note that the batteries are intended to provide backup power for the clock and for scanning for a short time. When the backup batteries becomes too low, appears and flashes. Promptly replace the batteries.
When you either install batteries or connect the AC Adapter to a standard US wall outlet, the scanner powers on and goes to STANDBY mode. The display shows the initial clock time of 12:00 AM. The scanner remains in STANDBY mode.
Connecting an Antenna
The scanner uses an external loop antenna to receive AM broadcast stations and an external telescopic antenna to receive all other signals. Connect the supplied rod antenna by pushing the antenna’s connector onto the antenna jack on the back of the scanner and twisting it to the desired angle. Connect the two wires from the loop antenna to the AM RADIO ANT terminals on the back of the scanner.
* Carefully remove the tube inserted before using the
AM Antenna Jack. When the Jack is not in use, keep the tube mounted.
You can also use an external antenna (not supplied) to help to bring in weaker signals. Use RG58, 50-Ohm lead with a BNC connector to connect the antenna to the scanner. Connect and mount the antenna according to the instructions provided with the antenna.
CAUTION: Be sure to follow all safety warnings provided with the antenna. Failure to do so could expose you to risk of injury or death and could severely damage the scanner.

Setting the Radio Controlled Clock Options
The radio controlled clock attempts to receive the time at the top of every hour (e.g. 12:00, 1:00, 2:00 and so on) until it receives the time. While it is checking for the time, the dish icon ( ) flashes and the signal strength indicator appears to show the condition of the received NIST signal. When it has successfully received the time, the dish icon ( ) will appear in the display. The dish remains steady for 24 hours from the last successful signal reception. Even with a good signal, it will take 2-5 minutes to set the time from the NIST signal.
Using the Radio Controlled Clock
21
The NIST signal is very weak, so might not from all parts of your house or at all times of day. Typically, reception is best at night and near a window. The time reception antenna is integrated into your scanner, and is not part of the AM or scanner antenna.
Notes:
• The antenna receives most strongly when the scanner keeps its left
side facing to the source of waves, Fort Collins in Colorado.
Computers and some light dimmers can generate signals that can
interfere with the NIST signal. If this occurs, reposition the scanner away from these devices, or turn them off to remove the interfering signal.
If the scanner is inside of a building that has a lot of metal, the time­setting signal will be blocked. Try positioning the scanner near a window.
There are four atomic clock settings:
• Time Zone
• Daylight Savings Time
• RCC (Radio Controlled Clock) On or Off
• Signal RX

Using All-Hazards
Your BC370CRS’s All-Hazards function makes it one of the most powerful weather radio receivers built. It will activate on local broadcast of the standard EAS signal on NOAA (weather) channels, AM, FM, or TV Broadcast channels. Your scanner automatically monitors for an EAS alert on the last-tuned channel whenever you turn off the scanner. To ensure that you are alerted, be sure to set the MODE switch to Weather (if you receive alerts on standard NOAA channels), or to AM/FM and tune to the appropriate broadcast channel in your area.
Limiting Alerts to Your County
Alerts include a special digital signal called S.A.M.E. (specific area message encoding) that identifies the area impacted by an alert. This lets you set the scanner to ignore alerts that are not for your county, preventing many false alerts for storms that are in surrounding counties.
You can store up to 4 county codes in your scanner and select one or more of them to receive alerts for.
Programming County Codes
Your scanner uses FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards) codes to identify counties. You can find the FIPS code for your area by going to:
http://www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr/nwrsame.htm
and looking up your county’s 6-digit code. Once you have the codes for the counties you are interested in, follow these steps to program them into the scanner.
1. Slide the MODE switch to Weather.
2. Press and hold the soft key for the FIPS position you want to program. After about 2 seconds, the display changes to show the current setting.
3. Use the keypad to enter the code for that position, then press E/PGM.
4. Tap the other FIPS keys and use the keypad to enter the codes you want to associate with each key.
5. When you have programmed all FIPS codes, press the RTN soft key to return to normal weather mode.
Using All-Hazards
26
Selecting Areas for Alerts
To limit alerts to specific areas, in weather mode press the soft key for the area you want to turn on or off. Activated areas are reverse-printed in the display. Or, to receive alerts for all areas, press the ALL soft key to reverse-highlight that option.
Note:
If you don’t select an area, the scanner will never sound an alert.
Receiving Alerts
The scanner receives alerts even if it is in standby mode (power off). Select the appropriate weather, AM, FM, or TV broadcast channel. Then, power-off the scanner. The bottom line of the display will indicate the frequency the scanner is monitoring for alerts. If an alert is received, the scanner sounds an alert tone, then you hear the audio for the alert. The alert message summary is also displayed across the bottom of the display.
During an alert, the terminals on the back of the scanner provide a switch closure to activate external sounders or strobes (optional). These can be easily controlled using an X10 PRO PowerFlash Interface (Model PSC01­Input Mode A). See the interface’s instructions for installation of such devices.

Using the Scanner Memories
Your scanner has 300 memories you can store frequencies into for scanning. The memories are arranged in 10 banks of 30 memories each. While scanning, you can quickly select which bank to scan by pressing the number button that corresponds to the bank you want to turn on or off for scanning. To select the scanner mode, slide the MODE switch to Scanner.
Programming Memories
You will first need to determine the frequencies you want to program. This varies widely depending on what you want to listen to and your geographic area. There are many frequency reference sources available on the internet that can get you started. One such source, http://www.radioreference.com, has a diverse listing of many conventional frequencies. You might also search for regional hobbyist sites that cover your area or check the database at the FCC’s General Menu (http://www.fcc.gov) for frequencies of interest.
Make a list of the frequencies you want to program, then organize them in up to 10 groups of 10 or fewer and fill out the table below. It always helps to plan and organize what you want to do before you start, so don’t skip this important step. (The numbers in the left-hand columns below correspond to your scanner’s memory numbers.)
