UBC 61 XLT
Programmable Hand-Held Scanner
Introduction
What is Scanning?
The UBC61XLT scans programmed channels until
it finds an active frequency.
Scanning stops on an active frequency and
remains on that channel as long as the transmission continues. When the transmission ends, the
scanning cycle resumes until another transmission
is received.
What is Chain Searching?
You can program five different search bands.
Simply select a chain search location, define the
search range, and begin your search. You can set
your scanner to search up to all five chain search
bands at once, or you can turn off those search
bands you don’t want.
General Use
• Turn the scanner off before disconnecting the
power or replacing the batteries.
• If memory is lost, simply reprogram each channel.
The display shows 000.0000 in all channels when
there had been a memory loss.
• Always write down the programmed frequencies
in the case of memory loss.
Uniden does not represent this unit to be
waterproof. To reduce the risk of fire or
electrical shock, do not expose this unit
