PRECAUTIONS
Before you use this scanner, please read and observe the following.
IMPORTANT!
This scanning radio has been manufactured so that it will not tune to the radio
frequencies assigned by the FCC for cellular telephone usage. The Electronic
Communications Privacy Act of 1986, as amended, makes it a federal crime to
intentionally intercept cellular or cordless telephone transmissions or to market
this radio when altered to receive them. The installation, possession, or use of
this scanning radio in a motor vehicle may be prohibited, regulated, or require
a permit in certain states, cities, and/or local jurisdictions. Your local law
enforcement officials should be able to provide you with information regarding
the laws in your community.
Changes or modifications to this product not expressly approved by Uniden,
or operation of this product in any way other than as detailed by this Operating
Guide, could void your authority to operate this product.
EARPHONE WARNING!
You can use an optional 32Ω stereo headset or earphone with this scanner.
Use of an incorrect earphone or stereo headset might be potentially
hazardous to your hearing. The output of the phone jack is monaural, but you
will hear it in both headphones of a stereo headset.
Set the speaker volume to a comfortable level before plugging in either a
monaural earphone or a stereo headset of the proper impedance (32Ω).
Otherwise, you might experience some discomfort or possible hearing
damage if the volume suddenly becomes too loud because of the volume
control or squelch control setting. This is particularly true for the type of
earphone that is placed in the ear canal.
WARNING: Uniden does not represent this unit to be waterproof. To
reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not expose this unit to
rain or moisture.

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.
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
5
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.

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
1. 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. The
scanner goes into Power Off
mode and the clock displays.
# Do not plug the adapter into a
switch controlled outlet.
2. 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.
# Batteries are intended to provide backup power for the clock and for
scanning for a short time. When the backup batteries becomes too
low,
3. 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
appears. Promptly replace the batteries.
17
display shows the initial clock time of 12:00 AM. The scanner remains in
