							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
000.0000in 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 notuse
abrasive cleaners or solvents. Be careful not to rub
the LCD window.
Do not use excessive amounts of water.

no serviceable parts. Contact the Uniden
Customer Service Center or take it to a qualified
repair technician.

sound is heard, it may be receiving a birdie. Birdies
are internally generated signals inherent in the
electronics of the receiver.
