■
Always press each keypad button firmly until you hear the entry tone for
that key.
Location
■
If your scanner receives strong interference or electrical noise, relocate the
scanner or its antenna away from the source of the noise. A higher elevation
may provide better reception. Also, try changing the length or the angle of
the antenna.
■
Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight or near heating elements or vents.
■
Do not plug the scanner into an outlet controlled by a wall switch as it could
cause the clock to reset.
Cleaning
■
Disconnect the power to the unit before cleaning.
■
To prevent scratches, do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Be careful not
to rub the display window.
■
Do not use excessive amounts of water.
Repairs
■
Do not attempt any repair. The scanner contains no serviceable parts. Contact
the Uniden Customer Service Center or take it to a qualified repair
technician. (Page 25)
Birdies
■
Birdies are internally-generated signals inherent in the electronics of the
receiver. All radios are subject to receiving undesired signals or birdies. If your
scanner stops during Scan mode and no sound is heard, it may be receiving a
birdie. Press
SCAN
to resume scanning.
