Mounting the UBC-RH96
The following two mounting methods are suggestions used by most. Depending upon your individual situation, you may decide on a different approach.
Using the Mounting Bracket
For most vehicles, the supplied bracket will be the easiest method of mounting. With the bracket removed from the Remote Head, use the holes in the bracket as a template to initially mark the location you plan to use in your vehicle. Be abso­lutely certain of what might be behind the mounting surface before making any holes, be it above, or below,
UBC-RH96 Digital Scanner OM.indd7 7UBC-RH96 Digital Scanner OM.indd7 7 10/9/07 4:15:57 PM10/9/07 4:15:57 PM
or in front of your dash, armrest console, or other location. If you drill carelessly, expensive damage can result. If in doubt, consult your vehicle dealer’s service department or a qualifi ed professional installer.
Important: AVOID AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT ZONES. Ignoring this installation concern may result in bodily harm and the inability of the airbag to per­form properly. Be sure to select a mounting location so that when you route power and remote cables they do not interfere with any existing cables or other controls.

Route the Remote Cable through the Slotted Guide (3) so it lies fl at. Route the Power Cord so it does not interfere with any other wires.
Follow the directions supplied with the hook and loop material. Locate a suitable spot on the dash, console, or other area. If you use the Remote Head in another

Do not apply the tape to the rear until all cables are installed and routed correctly. Do not cover the slotted guide with the tape.

Remote Head and Scanner Power
To provide power to the Remote Head, insert the barrel of the cigarette lighter adapter into the jack in the back of the unit marked DC IN 13.8V. Insert the other end in a convenient socket on the dash of your vehicle. To connect a power lead permanently, obtain a barrel connector 5.5 mm diameter, with a center pin 2 mm
UBC-RH96 Digital Scanner OM.indd11 11UBC-RH96 Digital Scanner OM.indd11 11 10/9/07 4:16:00 PM10/9/07 4:16:00 PM
diameter and wire it with the center positive using at
least 18 gauge wire to an extra fuse block terminal of
your vehicle.
The Remote Head cannot turn power to the scanner
off or on. Therefore, consider connecting the power
lead of the scanner to a terminal on your vehicle that is
turned off when you turn off the ignition key.
Control Cable
The 3m supplied Control Cable has a stereo mini-plug
on one end and a scanner serial connector on the other.
Insert the mini-plug into the REMOTE jack on the
rear of the Remote Head. Route the cable through the
11
guides to keep the cable correctly positioned. Then, route the remainder of the cable toward the location of your target scanner. When doing so, be sure to avoid sharp metal edges of your vehicle’s body, or other

of the Remote Head. Connect the other end to the DB9
serial port on your PC. This is the only purpose of this
connection. possible hazards. Be sure the cable does not interfere with controls, operation of the vehicle, or passenger safety. Insert the cable’s special connector in the front port of the UBCD996T mobile scanner, or the side port of the UBCD396T handy scanner.
Data Port Cable — Firmware Updates
Important:
For best operation, be sure your scanner always has the
latest fi rmware. Visit www.uniden.com.au (Australian
model) or www.uniden.co.nz (New Zealand model)
to verify that your scanner has the most up-to-date
rmware. The Remote Head has a data port (see UBC-RH96
Connections)so you can update the fi rmware using the data transfer cable provided with your scanner. Con-

Control Confi guration Guides
The UBC-RH96 lets you remotely operate the follow­ing scanners:
UBCD996T Mobile Scanner

Important: If you have more than one scanner, be sure
to turn off power to the UBC-RH96 before switching
target scanners.
To assist you to better understand each of these
changes, a set of pocket-sized Quick Reference Cards
are provided. The diagrams on the next pages replicate

Volume Settings - For Handy Scanner
While it is possible to confi gure the UBC-RH96 rotary FUNC control as your VOL control, we suggest not doing so. The VOL control still functions as a volume control. If the FUNC control is confi gured as volume, it is possible to have a situation that a very slight movement of the VOL control results in a sudden and loud increase in your audio. It is best to confi gure the VOL control as volume in all cases.

Serial Operation Precautions
The UBCD996T has a 9-pin serial connection in the back designed for use with serial operations in addition to the special serial jack on the front. Other than connecting a GPS, the front and the back cannot be used or connected at the same time when the UBC-RH96 is in use. For example, if you connect a 9-pin serial cable to your PC to use the UASD programming software, disconnect the UBC-RH96 front cable fi rst.

Using the Cable Clamp
A self-adhesive clamp/ guide is provided to assist you to safely route the Remote Cable to your target scanner. Clean the planned location, peel the base covering, and fi rmly press it on the scanner. Then route the Remote Cable through the guide. This helps assure that the remote Cable will not come out of the special connector on either a Mobile of Handy scanner.
