Precautions
Before you use this scanner, please read and observe the
Precautions
following.
IMPORTANT!
This scanning radio has been manufactured so that it will
not tune to the radio frequencies assigned by the FCC for
cellular telephone usage. The Electronic Communications
Privacy Act of 1986, as amended, makes it a federal
crime to intentionally intercept cellular or cordless telephone transmissions or to market this radio when altered
to receive them. The installation, possession, or use of
this scanning radio in a motor vehicle may be prohibited,
regulated, or require a permit in certain states, cities, and/
or local jurisdictions. Your local law enforcement officials
should be able to provide you with information regarding
the laws in your community.
Changes or modifications to this product not expressly
approved by Uniden, or operation of this product in any
way other than as detailed by this Operating Guide, could
void your authority to operate this product.
EARPHONE WARNING!
Be sure to use only a monaural earphone with this scanner. You can also use an optional 32W stereo headset.
Use of an incorrect earphone or stereo headset might be
potentially hazardous to your hearing. The output of the
phone jack is monaural, but you will hear it in both headphones of a stereo headset.
Set the volume to a comfortable audio level coming from
the speaker before plugging in the monaural earphone or
a stereo headset of the proper impedance (32W). Otherwise, you might experience some discomfort or possible
hearing damage if the volume suddenly becomes too
loud because of the volume control or squelch control setting. This might be particularly true of the type of earphone that is placed in the ear canal.
Precautions

The FCC Wants You to Know
The FCC Wants You to
Know
This scanner has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a scanning receiver, pursuant to Part 15 of
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This scanner generates, uses, and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this scanner does
cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the
scanner on and off, you are encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
• Increase the separation between the scanner and the
receiver
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Scanning Legally
Your scanner covers frequencies used by many different
groups, including police and fire departments, ambulance
services, government agencies, private companies,
amateur radio services, military operations, pager services,
and wireline (telephone and telegraph) service providers.
It is legal to listen to almost every transmission your scanner
can receive. However, there are some transmissions that
you should never intentionally listen to. These include:
• Telephone conversations (cellular, cordless, or other
private means of telephone signal transmission)
• Pager transmissions
• Any scrambled or encrypted transmissions
The FCC Wants You to Know
According to the Electronic Communications Privacy Act
(ECPA), you are subject to fines and possible imprisonment for intentionally listening to, using, or divulging the
contents of such a conversation unless you have the consent of a party to the conversation (unless such activity is
otherwise illegal). This scanner has been designed to
prevent the reception of cellular telephone transmissions
and the decoding of scrambled transmissions. This is
done to comply with the legal requirement that scanners
be manufactured so they are not easy to modify to pick up
these transmissions. Do not open your scanner’s case to
make any modifications that could allow it to pick up
transmissions that are illegal to monitor. Modifying or
tampering with your scanner’s internal components or
using it in a way other than as described in this manual
could invalidate your warranty and void your FCC
authorization to operate it.
In some areas, mobile use of this scanner is unlawful or
requires a permit. Check the laws in your area. It is also
illegal in many areas (and a bad idea everywhere) to
interfere with the duties of public safety officials by
traveling to the scene of an incident without authorization.

Understanding Scanning
This
section provides you
with background on how scanUnderstanding
Scanning
ning works. You don’t really need to know all of this to use
your scanner, but some background knowledge will help
you get the most from your BC246T.
Understanding the Scanner’s Memory
Your scanner’s memory is organized in an architecture
called Dynamic Allocated Channel memory. This type of
memory is organized differently and more efficiently than
the bank/channel architecture used by traditional scanners.
Dynamic Allocated design matches how radio systems
actually work much more closely, making it easier to program and use your scanner and determine how much
memory you have used and how much you have left.
Instead of being organized into separate banks and channels, your scanner’s memory is contained in a pool. You
simply use as much memory as you need in the pool to
store as many frequencies, talk group ID’s, and alpha
tags as you need. No memory space is wasted, and you
can tell at a glance how much memory you have used
and how much remains.
With a traditional scanner, when you program it to track a
trunked system, you must first program the frequencies.
Since you can only program one
trunking system per bank in a traditional scanner, if there
were (for example) 30 frequencies, the remaining 70 or
so channels in the bank are not used and therefore
wasted. Also, since some trunked systems might have
hundreds of talk groups, you would have had to enter
those types of systems into multiple banks in order to
monitor and track all the ID’s.
What is Scanning?
Unlike standard AM or FM radio stations, most two-way
communications do not transmit continuously. Your
BC246T scans programmed channels until it finds an
active frequency, then stops on that frequency and
remains on that channel as long as the transmission
Understanding Scanning
17
continues. When the transmission ends, the scanning
cycle resumes until the scanner receives another transmission.
What is Searching?
The BC246T can search each of its 21 bands and up to
10 bands together to find active frequencies. This is different from scanning because you are searching for frequencies that have not been programmed into the
scanner. When you select frequency bands to search, the
scanner searches for any active frequency within the
lower and upper limits you specify. When the scanner
finds an active frequency, it stops on that frequency as
long as the transmission lasts. If you think the frequency
is interesting, you can program it into one of the banks.
If not, you can continue to search.
What is CTCSS/DCS?
Your scanner can monitor systems using a Continuous
Tone Control Squelch (CTCSS) and Digital Coded
Squelch (DCS) system, which allow squelch to open only
when the tone you have programmed with a specific frequency is received along with a transmission.
CTCSS and DCS are subaudible tone signaling systems
sometimes referred to as PL (Motorola’s trademarked
term for Private Line). CTCSS and DCS are used only for
FM signals and are usually associated with both amateur
and commercial two-way repeaters. These systems make
use of a special subaudible tone that accompanies a
transmitted signal.
CTCSS and DCS are used for many purposes. In many
cases, CTCSS and DCS are used to restrict access to a
commercial repeater, so that only those units, which
transmit the correct tone along with their signal can “talk
to the repeater.”
CTCSS and DCS are also used in areas that receive
interference where there are several stations with output
frequencies close to each other. When this occurs, you
Understanding Scanning
18
might hear multiple communications at the same time.
The stations might even interfere with each other to the
point where it is impossible to clearly receive any of the
stations. A scanner equipped with CTCSS and DCS (like
your scanner) can code each received frequency with a
specific CTCSS or DCS frequency. Then, when you
receive multiple signals, you only hear the transmission
with the CTCSS or DCS tone you programmed. If you do
not receive the correct tone with a signal, the
scanner’s squelch remains closed and you hear nothing.
Local frequency allocation groups set cooperative standards to establish the CTCSS and DCS tone for each
transmitter (or repeater).
You can search for the following CTCSS frequencies and
DCS codes.

Conventional Scanning
Conventional scanning is a relatively simple concept.
Each group of users in a conventional system is assigned
a single frequency (for simplex systems) or two frequencies (for repeater systems). Any time one of them transmits, their transmission always goes out on the same
frequency. Up until the late 1980’s this was the primary
way that radio systems operated.
Even today, there are many 2-way radio users who operate using a conventional system:
• Aircraft
• Amateur radio
• FRS/GMRS users
• Broadcast AM/FM/TV stations
• Many business radio users
When you want to store a conventional system, all you
need to know is the frequencies they operate on. When
you are scanning a conventional system, the scanner
stops very briefly on each channel to see if there is activity. If there isn’t, the scanner quickly moves to the next
channel. If there is, then the scanner pauses on the transmission until it is over.
Simplex Operation
Simplex systems use a single frequency for both transmit
and receive. Most radios using this type of operation are
limited to line-of-sight operation. This type of radio is frequently used at construction job sites, and with inexpen-
Understanding Scanning
20
sive consumer radios such as GMRS/FRS radios. The
range is typically 1-8 miles, depending upon the terrain
and many other factors.
Repeater Operation
Repeater systems use two frequencies: one transmits
from the radio to a central repeater; the other transmits
from the repeater to other radios in the system. With a
repeater-based system, the repeater is located on top of
a tall building or on a radio tower that provides great visibility to the area of operation. When a user transmits (on
an input frequency), the signal is picked up by the
repeater and retransmitted (on an output frequency). The
user’s radios always listen for activity on the output frequency and transmit on the input frequency. Since the
repeater is located very high, there is a very large line of
sight.
Typical repeater systems provide coverage out to about a
25-mile radius from the repeater location.
What is Trunk Tracking?
Your BC246T is designed to track the following types of
trunking systems.
• Motorola Type I, Type II, Type IIi, hybrid, SMARTNET,
and PRIVACYPLUS analog
trunking systems, which are extensively used in 800
MHz communication systems.
• LTR trunking systems
• EDACS SCAT trunking systems
• EDACS trunking systems
When tracking these types of systems, you might want to
remember these important points:
• Your scanner can track more than one trunking system at a time and scan conventional and trunked systems at the same time.
• The frequencies for many of the 800 MHz public
safety systems are listed in the National Public Safety
Understanding Scanning
21
Trunked System Frequency Guide included with your
BC246T scanner.
Conventional scanning is a simple concept. You enter a
frequency used by someone you want to monitor into
your scanner’s memory. For example, the police in your
area might transmit on 460.500 MHz, the fire department
on 154.445 MHz, the
highway department on 37.900 MHz, etc. So when your
scanner stops on a frequency, you usually know who it is,
and more importantly, you can stop on a channel and listen to an entire conversation. This type of scanning is
easy and fun.
However, as the demand for public communications has
increased, many public radio users do not have enough
frequencies to meet their needs, creating a serious problem. Trunking radio systems help solve this problem.
Trunked Scanning
While conventional scanning worked great while there
were only a few groups wanting to use the frequencies,
with the advent of smaller, lower-cost radios more and
more agencies and businesses wanted to take advantage
of the utility of 2-way radio. As a result, the bands that
were used most became full, so new users were not able
to take advantage of the technology as quickly as they
wanted.
Trunking solved this frequency shortage by allowing multiple groups to use the same set of frequencies in a very
efficient way. While each type of trunking system operates a little differently (see the next few sections), they all
work on the same basic premise: even in a system with a
lot of users, only a few users are ever transmitting at any
one time.
Instead of being assigned a frequency, as with
conventional systems, each group is assigned a talk
group ID. A central computer controls the frequency each
group operates on...and this frequency selection is made
each time a user transmits. So, while on a conventional
Understanding Scanning
22
system queries, replies, and follow-ups are all on a single
frequency, they could each be on completely different
frequencies on a trunked system. This semi-random
frequency assignment made monitoring such a system
impossible prior to Uniden’s invention of the
Trunktracking scanner.
Not only does your BC246T scan channels like a conventional scanner, it actually follows the users of a trunked
radio system. Once you know a talk group’s ID, you won’t
miss any of the action.
If you are a new scanner enthusiast, you might want to
read the first part of this manual and use your scanner in
conventional mode before you begin trunk tracking.
Understanding scanning fundamentals and terminology
will make trunk tracking much easier. If you are already
an experienced scanner operator, you might want to go to
“Programming Trunked Systems” on Page 42 now.
Types of Trunking Systems
Trunking systems divide a few frequencies among many
different users, but the way that each system does this is
slightly different. This section describes some of the
technical data behind Motorola, EDACS, and LTR
trunked radio systems.
Motorola Trunking
While there are different types of Motorola trunking systems, they all use the same basic trunking method. The
system consists of one control channel plus one or more
voice channels (typically 10, 20, or 30 total channels).
When a user presses Push To Talk (PTT) to transmit, their
radio first sends their talk group information to the control
channel. The computer then assigns that talk group to a
specific voice channel and transmits that data over the
control channel. All radios in that talk group switch over to
the assigned voice channel and the user can begin
speaking. This all typically takes place in about a second...the person transmitting hears a beep from their
Understanding Scanning
23
radio when the channel is assigned and then it is OK to
start talking.
The systems in use are:
Motorola Type I – the radios send the radio ID, the fleet
and subfleet talk group ID to the control channel each
time they transmit. To program a Type I system, you need
to know the system’s fleet map. The most common fleet
maps are included at the back of this manual. You can
also find fleet map resources on the web.
Motorola Type II – the radios only send the radio ID and
radio channel code to the control channel. The central
computer keeps a database of radio ID’s and which talk
group is assigned to which channel code for each radio,
so with this system the user’s radio sends only about 1/3
the data as a Type I system with each transmission. Type
II systems do not use Fleet-subfleet talk groups; instead
they use a 5-digit ID for each talk group.
Type IIi Hybrid — these systems support a mix of both
Type I and Type II users. Like Type I systems, you must
know the system’s fleet map to ensure proper tracking.
EDACS Trunking
EDACS trunking works in much the same way as Motorola trunking with a couple of major differences. In an
EDACS system, each frequency used by the system is
assigned a Logical Channel Number (LCN) so that less
data needs to be transmitted by the control channel. Also,
talk groups are assigned in an Agency-Fleet-Subfleet
(AFS) hierarchy. Also, there is one variation of EDACS
called SCAT that your BC246T can monitor.
Logical Channel Numbers – each frequency used by the
system is assigned an LCN. This information is programmed into each user radio. When a user presses PTT,
their radio sends their AFS information to the control
channel. The computer then assigns that talk group to a
channel and sends the LCN so that all other radios in that
talk group will switch to the correct channel. To program
an EDACS system in your scanner, you will need to know
Understanding Scanning
24
both the frequencies used by the system and the LCN for
each frequency.
Agency-Fleet-Subfleet – talk group ID’s for EDACS systems are assigned in a way that makes it easy to see at a
glance the affiliation of the user. Each radio is assigned a
2-digit agency identifier from 00 – 15. For example, 01
might be used by the police, 02 by ambulance service, 03
by the fire department, and so on. Each agency is then
subdivided up to 16 times to provide fleet identification,
and then 8 more times to identify subfleets.
For example, the complete AFS for the Police Department West District’s dispatch channel might be 01-062.
01 identifies the agency as the police department, 06
identifies the fleet as the West district, and 2 identifies the
subfleet as the dispatch channel. While these assignments are somewhat arbitrary and vary from system to
system, there are many resources on the web for finding
the assignments for most systems. Because of the logical
hierarchy of the AFS system, your BC246T lets you
assign wildcard ID’s that let you, for example, use only
one ID memory to identify all units in either an agency or
a fleet.
EDACS SCAT – EDACS SCAT (Single Channel Autonomous Trunking) systems operate on a single channel and
alternate control data with analog voice traffic. While your
BC246T cannot track ID’s in this system, it can eliminate
the control data so that all you hear is the voice transmissions when you monitor this type of system.
LTR Trunking
LTR (Logic Trunked Radio) systems are trunking systems
used primarily by business or private communications
service providers, such as taxicabs, delivery trucks, and
repair services. These systems encode all control information as digital subaudible data that accompanies each
transmission, so there is no separate control channel.
Users on an LTR system are assigned to specific talk
groups, which are identified by the radio as six digit
numbers.
Understanding Scanning
25
These numbers are in the form AHHUUU, where:
A = Area code (0 or 1)
H = Home repeater (01 through 20)
U = User ID (000 through 254)
When the scanner receives a transmission on a channel
set to the LTR mode, it first decodes the LTR data included
with the transmission. In the ID search mode, the scanner
stops on the transmission and displays the talk group ID on
the display. In the ID scan mode, the scanner only stops
on the transmission if the LTR data matches a talk group
ID that you have stored in the bank’s talk group ID list and
have not locked out. LTR systems are frequently programmed so that each radio has a unique user ID.
Where To Get More Information
By itself, this manual really only provides part of what you
need to know to have fun scanning – how to program and
use the scanner. The two included conventional and
trunking frequency guides will give you a good head start
on the other part of what you need to know – what frequencies have interesting content.
Information On The Internet
The Internet is a great source for current frequencies and
information about scanning. Many web sites have lists of
frequencies for your area. You can use a search engine to
find and use them.

Setting Up Your Scanner
These guidelines will help you install and use your new
scanner:
• If your scanner receives interference or electrical
noise, move the scanner or its antenna away from the
source.
• To improve the scanner’s reception, use an optional
external antenna designed for multi-band coverage.
(You can purchase this type of antenna at a local
electronics store). If the optional antenna has no
cable, use 50-70 ohm coaxial cable for lead-in.
A mating plug might be necessary for the optional
antennas.
• Use an optional mono earphone or mono headset
with proper impedance for private listening. Read the
precautions on the inside front cover of this Owners
Manual.
• Do not use the scanner in high-moisture
environments such as the kitchen or bathroom.
• Avoid placing the scanner in direct sunlight or near
heating elements or vents.
Using Internal Batteries
You can power your scanner using two alkaline, lithium,
or rechargeable (Ni-Cd or Ni-MH) AA batteries.
Setting Up Your Scanner
29
Before installing batteries, set the switch in the battery
compartment to match the type of batteries you will use.

including Ni-Cd and Ni-MH. See also “Using Rechargeable Batteries” on Page 31 when you use rechargeable
batteries.
1. Remove the battery cover and set the battery switch.
2. Install 2 AA batteries, matching the polarity symbols
(+ -).
WARNING!
Set ALKALINE/RECHARGEABLE to RECHARGEABLE for use only with nickel cadmium (Ni-Cd) or
nickel metal hydride (Ni-MH) rechargeable batteries.
Never attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries.
Non-rechargeable batteries can get hot or burst if you
try to recharge them.
Setting Up Your Scanner
30
3. Replace the cover.
When
flashes and the scanner beeps every 15
seconds, replace both batteries.
Using Rechargeable Batteries
You can also use two rechargeable batteries to power
your scanner. Before you use Ni-Cd or Ni-MH batteries,
you must charge them.
The scanner has a built-in circuit that lets you recharge
Ni-Cd or Ni-MH batteries while they are in the scanner.
To charge the batteries, set ALKALINE/
RECHARGEABLE inside the battery compartment to
RECHARGEABLE, install the batteries in the scanner,
and connect the supplied AC adapter to the scanner's DC
6V jack (see “Using AC Power” on Page 32).
WARNING!
Do not connect the AC adapter to the scanner if nonrechargeable batteries (such as alkaline batteries) are
installed in the scanner and ALKALINE/RECHARGEABLE is set to RECHARGEABLE, or if you are
unsure of the switch's position. Non-rechargeable batteries will get hot and can even burst if you try to
recharge them.
Setting Up Your Scanner
31
Before you use Ni-Cd or Ni-MH batteries for the first time,
charge them for 14 hours to bring them to a full charge.
Discharged batteries take about 14 hours to fully
recharge.
Using AC Power
You can power the scanner using the supplied 6V, 300
mA AC adapter.
To use the scanner on AC power, plug the AC adapter
into a standard AC outlet.
If rechargeable batteries are installed and
ALKALINE/RECHARGEABLE is set to RECHARGEABLE, the adapter powers the scanner and recharges
the installed batteries at the same time.
Connecting the Antenna
To attach the supplied flexible antenna to the connector
on the top of your scanner, align the slots around the
antenna's connector with the tabs on the scanner's BNC
connector. Then slide the antenna's connector down over
the scanner's connector and rotate the antenna connector's outer ring clockwise until it locks into place.
Connecting an Optional Antenna
The scanner's BNC connector makes it easy to connect a
variety of optional antennas, including an external mobile
antenna or outdoor base station antenna.
Note: Always use 50-ohm, RG-58, or RG-8, coaxial cable
to connect an outdoor antenna. If the antenna is over 50
feet from the scanner, use RG-8 low-loss dielectric coaxial cable. You can get a BNC adapter at your local electronics store.
Setting Up Your Scanner
32
Connecting an Earphone/Headphone
For private listening, you can plug a 1/8-inch (3.5 mm)
mini-plug earphone or mono headphones (not supplied)
into the headphone jack on top of your scanner. This
automatically disconnects the internal speaker.
Connecting an Extension Speaker
In a noisy area, an optional amplified extension speaker,
positioned in the right place, might provide more comfortable listening. Plug the speaker cable's 1/8-inch (3.5-mm)
mini-plug into your scanner's jack.
WARNING!
If you connect an external speaker to the scanner's
headphone jack, never connect the audio output line
to a power supply and ground. This might damage the
scanner.

US. However, to get the most enjoyment from your scanner (especially if you do not live near one of these counties), you must customize the programming for your area.
To edit an existing system, use the menu to navigate to
the system setting you want to change. This section
assumes you are programming a new system.
Programming radio systems is completed in two major
steps. Don't skip either step!
1. Plan the system.
2. Program the system into your scanner according to
the plan you prepared in Step 1.
To make planning easier, planning worksheets are
included in the back of this manual for each system type.
Copy the worksheets (or download this manual from the
Uniden America Corporation website and print extra
sheets), then use them to plan out how you will program
the scanner.
Important! Before you start programming your radio,
make sure the batteries are fresh or fully charged.
Losing power while programming the radio might
damage the radio’s memory.

Using the Close Call Feature
Your scanner's
Close Call
CallTM Feature
feature lets you set the scanUsing
the Close
ner so it detects, displays the frequency of, and lets you
hear a nearby strong radio transmission. You can set the
scanner so the Close Call feature works "in the background" while you are scanning other frequencies, turn off
normal scanning while the Close Call feature is working,
or turn off the Close Call feature and use the scanner normally. You can set the scanner so it alerts you when the
Close Call feature finds a frequency. You can also set the
frequency band where you want the scanner to look for
transmissions.
Notes:
• The Close Call feature works well for locating the
source of strong local transmissions such as mobile
and handheld two-way radios in areas with no other
strong transmission sources. However, if you are in
an area with many transmission sources (such as
pager radio transmitters, multi-use radio towers,
traffic control devices, etc.), the Close Call feature
might not find the transmission you are
searching for, or it might find a transmission other
than the one you are searching for. You can screen
unwanted transmissions by pressing Func and L/O
to lock them out.
• The Close Call feature cannot detect satellite dishes
or any transmitter with a frequency above or below
the frequency ranges listed under “Setting the Close
Call Mode” on Page 76.
• The Close Call feature works better with some types
of transmissions than others. It might not correctly
display frequency information for transmitters using a
highly directive antenna (such as an amateur radio
beam antenna), if there are many transmitters operating at the same time in the same area, or if the transmitter is a broadcast television station.

Using Weather Alert (SAME)
Using Weather Alert
(SAME)
Your scanner has been primarily designed to be a radio
scanner. While it incorporates weather alert as one feature, we strongly recommend that you not use the scanner as your sole means for receiving emergency alerts.
Your local electronics retailer carries several weather
radios specifically designed for this function.
Your scanner allows you to either search for a local
NOAA weather broadcast, or be set to alert when a
SAME weather alert is broadcast on a NOAA channel.
Setting the Weather Mode
You can use the BC246T to search for your local NOAA
weather channel.
Turning Weather Alert On/Off
In weather alert mode, your scanner functions as a
severe weather warning radio. This is especially useful
when your area is expecting severe weather conditions
late at night. When you set the scanner to weather alert
mode, it emits a loud siren and displays information about
the weather alert whenever your local NOAA weather station transmits a severe weather emergency tone.
Follow these steps to turn on weather alert:
1. Press WX to find your local weather station.
2. Press Hold.
3. Hold down ALERT for about 2 seconds. ALERT
appears.
The scanner’s volume is muted until the warning tone
sounds.
Your scanner now functions as a weather alert radio, waiting to receive a severe weather emergency tone. When
your scanner receives the emergency tone and a SAME
event code from your local NOAA weather station, it
responds with a loud siren at maximum volume (regardless of the volume control setting) and displays information about the alert.
Using Weather Alert (SAME)
80
You might see any of the following information during a
weather alert:
L1 – Warning
L2 – Watch
L3 – Advisory
TST – Test
The siren will continue until the emergency tone stops
transmitting.
To cancel the siren, press WX. ALERT disappears.
Searching for a Weather Broadcast
You can use the BC246T to search for your local NOAA
weather channel.
To search for a weather broadcast, press WX to find an
active weather channel in your area. WX appears.
You might receive more than one weather station in your
area. When you press WX, your scanner finds the first
active transmission. If a transmission seems weak or distant, press WX again to find a clearer station.
Notes:
• Weather scan does not resume automatically. You
must press WX again to start the weather scan again.
In some parts of the country, you might not be able to
monitor weather transmissions, such as in low-lying
areas. Normally a higher location will improve the
reception.
• NOAA broadcasts are continuous broadcasts. You
will only lose reception if you move out of a coverage
area. If the signal is lost, the scanner resumes
searching for a weather transmission.
Duplicate Frequency Alert
If you enter a frequency already stored in another channel, the scanner beeps and the other channel appears.
Press . on the keypad to start again or press E again to
store the frequency in both channels.

Care and Maintenance
Care
and Maintenance
• Turn the scanner off before disconnecting the power.
General Use
• Always write down the programmed frequencies in
the event of memory loss.
• If memory is lost, simply reprogram each channel.
The display shows 000.0000 in all channels when
there has been a memory loss.
• 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.
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.

User Defined Fleet Maps
Type I Programming Information
When a Type I system is designed, the address information for all the ID’s is divided into 8 equal sized blocks,
numbered 0–7. When you program your scanner to track
a Type I system, you must select a size code for each of
these blocks. When you have assigned a size code to all
8 blocks, you’ll have defined the fleet map for the system
you are tracking. Each size code determines the number
of fleets, subfleets, and ID’s each block will have. For
example, a size code of S-4 has one fleet, which is
divided into 16 separate subfleets, and it has a total of
512 individual ID’s.
When a block is assigned a size code, the fleet or fleets
created within the block are assigned a Type I ID. The
way these ID’s display on your scanner depend on the
block number and the block’s size code. When a Type I
ID appears, the leftmost digit represents the block which
contains the ID.
The next two digits identify which fleet is active, and the
last digit(s) identifies the subfleet.
The details concerning how the size codes are selected
by a Type I System designer are highly dependent on the
specific needs of the system’s users. Some organizations
might want many subfleets with only a few radios each,
while another organization might want only a few subfleets with many radios each. Your task is to program your
Appendix
95
fleet map with the same size code assignments as the
trunked system. If you do this accurately, you’ll track all
the Fleet-Subfleet combinations used by the system. In
other words, you’ll hear complete communications while
monitoring a trunked system.
If you don’t already know the size codes used, you’ll have
to guess at them. But since you don’t have to figure out all
the blocks at once, this isn’t as hard as it seems. Select a
size code for a block, and then press Scan. Now listen to
the communications. If you decide you are receiving most
of the replies to the conversations with ID’s assigned to
the block you just programmed, then you’ve probably
selected the right size code and can work on the next
block of the map.
Finally, for most public safety systems there are some
size codes which are more common. S-3 and S-4 are
probably the most common, followed by S-10, S-11, and
S-12.
Size Code Restrictions
If you select size code S-12, S-13, or S-14, there are
some restrictions as to which blocks can be used for
these codes.
S-12 can only be assigned to Blocks 0, 2, 4, or 6.
S-13 can only be assigned to Blocks 0 and 4.
S-14 can only be assigned to Block 0.
Since these size codes require multiple blocks, you will
be prompted for the next available block when programming a fleet map. For example, if you assign Block 0 as
an S-12, you will be prompted for b2, the next block available, instead of b1. And if you assign Block 0 as an S-14,
you would not see another prompt because it uses all
available blocks.

Quick Start to Programming
Your Scanner
This section contains information you'll need to quickly
program conventional and trunking frequencies into your
scanner. You can use it to help you find information about
conventional and trunking frequencies in your area, compile the information into an easy-to-use format, then use
the information to program your scanner.
Note: This section does not include all of the
programming information for your scanner.
Getting Started
You can use the scanner to scan agencies such as:
• 800 MHz trunked public safety systems
• Police and fire departments (including rescue and
paramedics)
• NOAA weather transmissions
• Business and industrial radio
• Utilities
• Marine bands
• Amateur (ham) radio bands
• Aircraft
Your scanner can monitor any of the following types of
systems.
• Conventional (not trunked) systems
• Motorola trunking systems
• LTR trunking systems
• EDACS trunking systems
Getting your scanner programmed and scanning takes a
few steps. This help guides you through these steps that
will make it easier for you to start scanning.
1. Collect information about the system(s) you want to
monitor.
Appendix
97
Do you want to listen to your local police and fire
departments? How about the highway patrol, ambulance service, and aircraft? You might even want to
listen to your local utility company as they track down
a break in electrical service in your area.
Make a list of the agencies you want to listen to, then
look up the frequencies and systems used by those
agencies. The Internet is a great source for current
frequencies and information about scanning. Here
are a few useful sites:
• http://www.scannermaster.com/ - frequency
resources and home of Police Call.
You can also call them at 1 800 SCANNER (hours are
from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time Monday
through Friday.)
• http://www.radioreference.com/ - the Internet's premier source for user-supported radio system information.
• http://www.bearcat1.com/ - frequency information
from National Communications.
• http://svartifoss2.fcc.gov/reports/index.cfm - conventional frequency information on file with the US Government
Tips:
• Scanners are designed to monitor complex radio systems. That means that programming your scanner
might seem like a daunting task at first. Be patient if
you don't get it right the first time. You can also seek
out help locally for the systems you want to scan by
visiting the forums section of http://www.radioreference.com/.
• Before you start to program your scanner, decide how
you want to organize the frequencies you want to
scan. For example, some areas are best organized by
geographic location (east, north, south, west, central,
etc), while others are best organized by agency
(police, sheriff, ambulance, fire, etc.). You might even
find it easier to organize a mixture of frequencies
(north, southeast, and west for police but fire all in
one group for example).
Appendix
98
2. Organize the system information using these system
worksheets included in this help.
• Use “Conventional Scanning Worksheet” on
Page 105 to organize information about
conventional frequencies.
• Use “Motorola Trunking Worksheet” on Page 106 to
organize information about Motorola frequencies.
• Use “” on Page 111 to organize information about
LTR frequencies.
• Use “EDACS Trunking Worksheet” on Page 108 to
organize information about EDACS
frequencies.
3. Follow the instructions in “Filling Out The Conventional Scanning Worksheet” on Page 100, “Filling Out
The Motorola Worksheet” on Page 101, “Filling Out
The LTR Worksheet” on Page 103, and “Filling Out
The EDACS Worksheet” on Page 104 to program
your scanner.
4. Press SCAN!
Tips:
• Before you start, make as many copies of the worksheets as you think you'll need. You can also go to
the download section of
http://www.uniden.com/productsupport.cfm and
download the worksheets there.
• All worksheet instructions assume that you have
completed the critical Step 1 (collecting the system
information). Don't skip this step.
• Use a pencil to fill out the worksheets. This lets you
change information if necessary.

Preprogrammed Systems
Your scanner is preprogrammed with over 400 channels
covering police, fire, and ambulance operations in the 25
most populated counties in the US. The following list
details the preprogrammed information.
By default, all of the preprogrammed systems are
unlocked, and your scanner begins to scan them when
you turn it on. To speed up scanning, you can lock out
systems that are beyond your reception area (typically no
more than 25 miles using the
supplied antenna).
Follow these steps to lock out systems:
1. Press and hold Func.
2. While continuing to hold Func, rotate the scroll control to select a system you want to lock out.
3. While continuing to hold Func, press L/O to lock out
the system.
4. Repeat Steps 2, 3, and 4 to lock out additional systems.
The preprogrammed systems provide a starting point;
you will want to find out more information about your local
radio systems so you can customize the programming to
better suit your listening preferences.
Notes:
• You might hear transmissions on frequencies
assigned to very distant stations. This will happen if a
local system also uses the same frequency. Disregard
the text tag for these transmission (e.g. if you are in
California, you aren’t really receiving Florida transmissions even if the scanner displays Dade County).
• To free up memory, you can delete systems that you
will not be monitoring. Refer to “Deleting a System”
on Page 46 (for conventional channels) and “Deleting
a System” on Page 54 (for Motorola channels).
