If the OCEANUS DSCdoes not perform to your expectations, try the
suggestions listed below.  If you cannot get satisfactory results, call the
Uniden Technical Support at (800) 586-0409, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.,
Central Standard Time, Monday through Friday.
Troubleshooting
CAUSE
No or low voltage.
Bad mic element.
A source of noise is
nearby.
An external noise is
being generated by
some device.
SYMPTOM
Won’t power On.
When the PTT is
pressed - Tx icon
comes on and
another radio can
hear a “click” but no
audio is heard.
While scanning, the
radio stops on a
particular channel all
of the time.
There is noise on
the receiver that the
squelch will not
eliminate.
REMEDY
Check for proper voltage
getting to the set.
Send in for repair.
Eliminate the source of
the noise or delete the
channel from the
scanner.
Either turn off the
offending device or
contact that Mfg.
Regarding FCC part 15
“unintentional radiator”.

Your OCEANUS DSCis a precision of electronic equipment and you
should treat it accordingly. Due to the rugged design, very little
maintenance is required. However, a few precautions should be
observed:
•If the antenna has been damaged, you should not transmit
except in the case of an emergency.  A defective antenna may
cause damage to your radio.
•You are responsible for continued FCC technical compliance of
your radio.
•You are urged to arrange for periodic performance checks with
your Uniden Marine dealer.
