guides to keep the cable correctly positioned. Then, 

route the remainder of the cable toward the location of 

your target scanner. When doing so, be sure to avoid 

sharp metal edges of your vehicle’s body, or other 

possible hazards. Be sure the cable does not interfere 

with controls, operation of the vehicle, or passenger 

safety. Insert the cable’s special connector in the front 

port of the UBCD996T mobile scanner, or the side port 

of the UBCD396T handy scanner.

Data Port Cable — Firmware Updates

The Remote Head has a data port (see 

 

UBC-RH96 

Connections

)so you can update the 

fi

 rmware using the 

data transfer cable provided with your scanner. Con-

nect the data transfer cable to this port on the bottom 

of the Remote Head. Connect the other end to the DB9 

serial port on your PC. This is the only purpose of this 

connection.

Important:

For best operation, be sure your scanner always has the 

latest 

fi

 rmware. Visit www.uniden.com.au (Australian 

model) or www.uniden.co.nz (New Zealand model) 

to verify that your scanner has the most up-to-date 

fi

 rmware.
