Operating Tips If your BC60XLT is not performing properly, try the steps listed below. CONDITION SUGGESTION Scanner doesn't turn on. Poor reception. Scanner doesn't receive weather channels. Rotate the Volume control to the right. Check the Batteries for correct installation. Check the power level of the Batteries. Replace or recharge Batteries as necessary. Check the AC Adapter/Charger or the (optional) Cigarette Lighter Adapter for a good electrical contact at the scanner. Make sure there is power at the AC outlet (or the vehicle's cigarette lighter). Check the in-line fuse on the (optional) Cigarette Lighter Adapter cord. If blown, replace it with the same type of fuse. Check the antenna connection. Make sure the antenna is in a vertical position. If you're inside a building, move the scanner to a window, an outside wall, or outdoors. Check for sources of interference such as computers, microwave ovens, or other electrical devices. Move the scanner as necessary. You may be too far away from the stations using the frequencies you have programmed. Try another location, or program frequencies for stations closer to your area. Adjust the Squelch setting. It may be too high. In some parts of the country, you may not be able to monitor weather broadcasts, such as in low lying areas. Move the scanner to a higher location. Reception may be poor. See above for suggestions. 22
