Restore a Locked Out Channel
1. Press .
Locking a Channel While ScanningIf the scanner keeps stopping on a
particular channel due to noise or too
frequent transmissions, you may want
to keep that channel from scanning.
1. Wait until the scanner stops at thechannel.
3. The scanner immediately resumes scanning because the locked out
channel is no longer in the scanning
sequence.
Lockout Tips•To quickly lockout a series of
channels, start with the lowest
number channel. For example, if you
are locking out channels 4, 7, 8, 12,
and 15, start with channel 4. After
selecting channel 4, press  /L/O.
Then press  one
or more times to step up to the next
channel to be locked out.
•Record the locked-out channels in
some convenient place so you can
restore them.
2. Then press  /L/O.
2. Select a locked out channel.a) Enter the channel number.
b) Then press  again.
3. Press  /L/O to unlock thechannel.

Restore All Locked-out Channels
1. Press .
2. Press and hold  /L/O for abouttwo seconds.
You will hear two beeps when all the
channels have been restored.
Priority Scan
When priority scan is turned on, your
scanner checks the priority channel
every two seconds for activity. If a
signal is present on the priority
channel, your scanner monitors the
channel until the transmission ends,
then resumes normal scanning. You
can designate any of the 100 available
channels as your priority channel.
Changing the Priority ChannelYou cannot eliminate the priority
channel, but you can change it to any
other of the 100 available channels.
To activate priority scan (in either
manual or scan mode):
1. Press 
PRI. 2. Press 
PRIagain at anytime to
deactivate priority scan.
1. Press /PROG.

Searching
Band SearchThe  AE 77H   has  6 factory-
Preprogrammed Search Bands. You
can search any of these Bands to find
desired frequencies if you do not have
a Frequency Directory handy, or if new
stations have been added since the
Directory was published.
1. Press and hold  /LIMIT to enter the Band Search Mode. Then
the upper and lower limits of the
band currently selected are
displayed.
2. Press 
or to select the band you
wish to search.
3. Wait for about 2 seconds and the UBC105XLT will begin searching
that Band. Or, press  /LIMIT
again to begin.

to set your scanner to skip the
frequency.
If your scanner stops while searching,
press  /L/O to lockout the
frequency from the search range.
Note:You can program 20 skip
frequencies. The 21st skip frequency
entered causes the 1st skip frequency
to unlock.
To unlock all skip frequencies at once,
follow this step:

Care and Maintenance
General Use•Turn the scanner off before
disconnecting the power or replacing
the batteries.
•Always write down the programmed
frequencies in the event of memory
loss.
•If memory is lost, simply reprogram
each channel.
The display shows 000.0000 in all
channels when there has been a
memory loss.
•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, may provide better
reception. Also try changing the
height or angle of the antenna.
•Do not plug the scanner into an
outlet controlled by a wall switch
because long power interruptions
may cause memory loss.
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 serviceable
parts. Contact the dealer from whom
you purchased the radio 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 may be receiving
a birdie. Birdies are internally
generated signals inherent in the
electronics of the receiver.
Press  /L/O to lockout the
channel.
•Narrow band responses (start
scanning without reason) occur in
the VHF low band in case of strong
signals around 367 MHz.

Troubleshooting
If your AE 77 H is not performing properl y, try the following steps.
Problem Suggestion
Scanner won ’t work. 1. Check the connections at both ends of the AC Adapter.
2. Turn on the wall switch of your room. You could be using an outlet controlled by the wall switch.
3. Check to see the batteries are installed followed by the  + and  – symbols.
Improper reception. 1. Check the antenna connection or move and reposition  the antenna.
2. Move the scanner.
3. You may be in a remote area which could require an  optional multi-band antenna. Check with your dealer or
local electronics store.
Scan won ’t stop. 1. Adjust squelch threshold - refer to page 8, Setting the 
Squelch.
2. Check the antenna connection.
3. Check to see if many of the channels are locked out.  If so, the scanner has less chance of finding an active 
channel.
4. Review each channel ’s frequency to see if it is still 
stored in memory and is correct.
5. It ’s possible that none of the programmed frequencies 
are currently active.
Scan won ’t start. 1. Press the  key again.
2. Adjust squelch threshold - refer to page 8, Setting the Squelch.
3. Check to see if all channels are locked out.
