Uniden BC370CRS English Owners Manual - Page 9

Introduction Your BC370CRS scanner is a multi-featured conventional channel scanner with All Hazards alert. You can easily enter and store frequencies for police, fire/emergency, marine, air, amateur, and other radio services into 300 channels distributed over ten banks. The scanner also alerts you when NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) or any broadcast station the scanner is tuned to issues an EAS (Emergency Alert System) signal. These alerts are issued for severe weather, homeland security, and law enforcement events (such as Amber alerts). Your BC370CRS also has a built-in RCC (Radio Controlled Clock) that automatically sets to the precise current time based on the NIST (National Institution of Standards and Time) nationwide broadcast*. For more information about the standard time signal, visit the National Institute of Standards and Time at http://tf.nist.gov. *Not available in all areas.
