Helpful Hints General Use • Turn the scanner off before disconnecting the power. • Always write down the programmed frequencies in the event of memory loss. If memory is lost, simply reprogram each channel. The display shows "MEMO LOSS" when memory is lost. • Always press each keypad button firmly until you hear the entry tone for that key entry. Location • If strong interference or electrical noise is received, relocate the scanner or its antenna away from the source of the noise. A higher elevation, if possible, may provide better reception. You might also try changing the height or angle of the telescoping antenna. • 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. • Do not plug the scanner into an outlet controlled by a wall switch as prolonged periods without power will cause scanner memory loss. 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 serviceable parts. Contact the Uniden Customer Service Center or take it to a qualified repair technician. Birdies All radios are subject to receiving undesired signals or birdies. If your scanner stops during SEARCH mode and no sound is heard, it may be receiving a birdie. Birdies are internally-generated signals inherent in the electronics of the receiver. If the interference is not severe, you might be able to turn [SQ] counterclockwise to cut out the birdie. Or, press [SEARCH] to resume searching. (Known birdie frequencies for the BC350A are: 31.200, 41.600, and 52.000 MHz) 21
