							Care and Maintenance
General Use
Write down the programmed channels/frequencies in case of a memory
loss.
Firmly press each scanner key so that you hear the entry tone.
Location
If strong interference or electrical noise is received, move the scanner.
Also, a higher antenna location usually results in better reception.
Do not use the scanner in high-moisture environments, such as a kitchen
or bathroom.
Avoid placing the scanner in direct sunlight or near heating elements or
vents.
Do not plug the scanner’s AC adapter into an outlet controlled by a wall
switch. Prolonged periods without power can cause loss of memory.
Cleaning
Disconnect the AC adapter while you clean the scanner.
Clean only the outside of the scanner with a mild detergent.
To prevent scratches, do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents to clean
the scanner.
Do not rub the display window.
Do not use excessive amounts of water.
Repairs
Do not attempt any repairs. The scanner contains no user-serviceable
parts. Contact the Uniden Customer Service Center at 800-297-1023, or
take the scanner to a qualified repair technician.
