Care and Maintenance
Care and Mainte- nanceGeneral Use
• Turn the scanner off before disconnecting the 
power. 
• 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. 
Care and Maintenance

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 generated signals inherent in the electronics 
of the scanner. 
Press L/O to lock out the channel.
