UB317Z (BC350C) 0916 9/16/03 12:43 PM Page 29 Helpful Hints General Use • Turn the scanner off before disconnecting the power. • 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 ele-ments or vents. 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 service-able parts. Contact the Uniden Customer Hotline at 1-800-297-1023 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 BC350C are: 108.785, 462.5625, 485.9, 814.0, 932.825, 938.375, and 940.9 MHz) 29
