The иве 760XLT has 100 memory
channels, each of which can be pro
grammed to store one frequency. The
channels are divided into 5-20 channel
banks, useful for storing similar fre
quencies in order to maintain faster
scanning cycles. When scan is pressed,
each of the programmed frequencies
within a selected bank will be sampled
fora transmission [locked channels will
be skipped) at the rate of about 15
channels per second. If an active fre
quency is found the unit will stop and
monitor that frequency until there is no
longer any activity. A two second delay
can be added to each channel and will
allow the unit to monitor the frequen
cy for a return or continued transmis
sion. If, after two seconds, the fre
quency remains inactive, the scanning
cycle will resume.
When the unit is first turned on, each
channel will contain "000.000". When
new frequencies are programmed, the
old will be erased. If an invalid frequen
cy is entered, "Error" will be displayed
and the old frequency will return. "E
Loc" will also be displayed if memory
lock is on.
To operate the scanner make sure that
the power is correctly connected to the
unit. Turn the volume control on and
adjust the desired level. Adjust the
squelch by turning the knob fully
clockwise until a rushing sound is
heard. Turn the knob back until the re
ceiver is silent. After the channels have
been programmed, operation is simple.
Press the scan key to scan all the chan
nels, press the manual key to stop the
scanning, and manually step through
the channels.
LCD Display
The UBC 760XLT has a backlit display
which shows the current channel and
frequency as well as other operational
modes. When the unit is scanning, the
channel number will rapidly advance
while the frequency display will go
blank. When the scanner is stopped
the current channel and frequency will
again be displayed.
When frequencies are programmed
the display will show the digits as they
are entered. The display will also show
"PRI" when the priority mode is on, "\J
O" whenever a channel appears that
has been locked out, and "DLY" when
ever a channel has been programmed
for delay. In the upper left hand corner
of the display the numbers 1-5 will be
present. These are the bank indicator
numbers. These are selected or dese
lected during the scan sequence by the
use of the numeric pad.
Programming
To program a frequency into a channel,
press the digits of that frequency in
cluding the decimal point and then
press the enter key. If an invalid fre
quency is entered, the display will
show "Error." To change a frequency

INSTAIS
Mobile Installation
Plan the location of the radio bracket
before staning the installation. Select a
location that is convenient for opera
tion and does not interfere with the
driver or passenger in the vehicle The
bracket should be securely fastened to
a solid surface using the self tapping
screws provided. Mount the scanner
to the bracket with the thumb screws
and adjust the angle of the radio.
Mobile Antenna
In the mobile application the Bearcat
760XLT will require an external vehicle
antenna. Use a mobile antenna de
signed for multi-band coverage. For
maximum effectiveness, the external
antenna should be fed with low loss 50
ohm coaxial such as RG58 foam. Re
member, you have purchased the fin
est mobile scanner available, so don't
compromise its performance with an
inferior antenna. We recommend us
ing the [optional] Uniden BC-ATI mo
bile antenna for best results.
Ideally, the antenna should be mount
ed directly in the center of the vehicle's
roof.
The radiation and reception pattern of
a vehicular antenna always conforms
to the ground plane [metal shape) lo
cated below the antenna. A roof
mounted antenna provides virtually an
omnidirectional pattern. If the anten
na was mounted on the left rear fen
der, the best reception would occur
from the right front fender of the vehi
cle, with greatly reduced reception
from the left rear. Avoid mounting the
antenna on a front fender, as ignition
noise can limit reception.
Connecting the Power
The UBC 760XLT is designed to be
used in any vehicle which has a 13.8-
volt DC negative-ground electrical sys
tem. If you cannot determine the po-
larityof yourvehicle, consult your vehi
cle dealer for information.
Note; The use of this radio in a motor
vehicle may be regulated or require a
permit in certain states or certain cities.
The UBC 760XLT should be connected
directly to the fuse block or battery of
your car. Connect the power cord to
the back of the radio in the jack marked
"DC 13.8V"
Desktop Installation
The UBC 760XLT has a unique design
feature that allows the unit to be used
as an in-home scanner. The fold-out
foot sets the unit at a proper angle for
desk or table-top use. Simply swing the
foot out until it locks in its upright posi
tion.
Note: Please be sure that the foot is
folded out completely in order to avoid
accidental damage to the unit.
Telescopic Antenna
The UBC 760XLT includes a telescopic
antenna for use in desktop instal/tions.
Insert the antenna into the opening on
the rear apron of the radio, and fully ex
tend it. Under normal conditions this
antenna should provide excellent re
ception. However, factors such as loca
tion within your home, and proximity
to electrical appliances may determine
reception quality. For weak signal re
ception or electrically noisy locations,
an external antenna may be helpful.
AC Adapter
The UBC 7Ó0XLT can be powered by
the AC Adapter included with the
scanner which converts standard
household current to 12.0 V DC. Plug
the small connector of the AC Adapter
into the jack in the back of the radio
marked DC 13.8V. Plug the other end
into any standard 220 VAC household
outlet
Note: Please be sure to use only model
818F4124 AC Adapter, as higher vol
tage, or reverse polarity may damage
your unit.
Memory Backup
Frequencies maintained in the UBC
7Ó0XLT memory are protected from
loss in the event of electrical power in
terruption by lithium battery. This bat
tery should be replaced every lOyears.
Page 8
HELPFUL HINTS
The UBC 760XLT is a high quality elec
tronic radio receiver. The following
hints should help you understand and
enjoy your unit.
! Make sure the unit is turned off be
fore disconnecting the power. You
may want to record the pro
grammed frequencies before power
is interrupted in case memory Is lost
2. If memory is lost, simply reprogram
each channel. Memory loss will be
indicated by unfamiliar frequencies
or "000.000" in each channel.
