Care and Maintenance
General Use
Turn the scanner off before disconnecting the power.
Always write down the programmed frequencies in
the event of memory loss.
If memory is lost, simply reprogram each channel.
Always press each button firmly until you hear the
entry tone for that key entry.
Location
Do not use the scanner in high-moisture
environments such as the kitchen or bathroom.
Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight or near
heating elements or vents.
If the scanner receives strong interference or
electrical noise, move it or its antenna away from the
source of the noise. If possible, a higher elevation
might provide better reception.
Also try changing the height or angle of the antenna.
Cleaning
Disconnect the power to the unit before cleaning.
Clean the outside of the scanner with a mild detergent.
To prevent scratches, do not use abrasive cleaners or
solvents. Be careful not to rub the LCD window.
Do not use excessive amounts of water.
Repairs
Do not attempt any repair. The scanner contains no user
serviceable parts. Contact the Uniden Customer Service
Center or take it to a qualified repair technician.
Birdies
All radios can receive “birdies” (undesired signals). If your
scanner stops during Scan mode and no sound is heard,
it might be receiving a birdie. Birdies are internally gener
-
ated signals inherent in the electronics of the scanner.
Press L/O to lock out the channel.
