    							Care and Maintenance
    Low Battery Warning
    When the Batteries become weak, you will hear an audible
    warning. Be sure to replace Alkaline Batteries as soon as
    possible, or you can recharge Nickel-Cadmium Batteries while
    they are installed in the scanner.
    Replacing the Batteries
    See page six.
    Location
    nIf strong interference or electrical noise is received,
    relocate the scanner or its antenna away from the
    source of the noise. A higher elevation, if possible, may
    provide better reception.
    nDo notuse the scanner in high-moisture environments
    such as the kitchen or bathroom.
    nAvoid placing the unit in direct sunlight or near heating
    elements or vents.
    Cleaning
    nDisconnect the power to the unit before cleaning.
    nClean the outside of the scanner with a mild detergent.
    nTo prevent scratches,do notuse abrasive cleaners or
    solvents. Be careful not to rub the LCD window.
    nDo notuse excessive amounts of water.
    Repairs
    Do notattempt any repair. The scanner contains no user
    serviceable parts. Contact the Uniden Customer Service
    Center or take it to a qualified repair technician.
    Proper Care of Your Scanner
    nUse only the AC Adapter/Charger that came with your
    scanner.
    nAvoid placing the scanner in direct sunlight or near
    heating elements or vents.
    nDo not subject the scanner to extremes in temperature.
    If the scanner is exposed to temperatures below 14°F or
    above 140°F, the liquid crystal display may temporarily
    cease to function properly, or can become permanently
    damaged.
