Precautions

Before you use this scanner, please read and observe the following:

Earphone Warning!

Be sure to use only the recommended optional monaural earphone (EPOO9).

You may also use a 32Q stereo headset. Use of an incorrect earphone or stereo

headset may 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

(32Q). 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 may be particularly true of the type o

earphone that is placed in the ear canal.

Introduction

The BC80XLT is a newstate-of-the-art radio with scanning capabilities.

Storefrequenciesinto 5 banks of 10channels each.

What isScanning?

Unlike standard AMor FMradio stations, most two-way communications

(listedon this page) do not transmit continuously. TheBC80XLT scans

programmed channels until it finds an activefrequency. Scanning stops on

an activefrequency, and remains on that channel as long as the

transmission continues. When thetransmission ends, the scanning cycle

resumes until another transmission is received. While the BC8OXLT scans

channels, it is in Scan mode. When you stop scanning with “MANUAL” itisin

Manual mode.

What isSearching?

The BC80XLT can search 11 bands to find active frequencies. This gives

you the opportunity tofind newfrequencies that have not been programmed.

While the BC80XLT searches for activefrequencies, it is in Search mode.

Feature Highlights

50 Channels — Program one frequency into each channel. You must have

at least one channel programmed to use the Scan mode.

29 MHz-956 MHz — Search these frequency ranges with your scanner.

(The frequency coverage is not totally continuous from 29 MHz to 956

MHz.)

5 Priority Channels — Assign one Priority channel in each bank. Keep track

of the activity on most important channel(s) while monitoring others.

Manual Channel Access — Go directly to any channel.

Memory Backup — Frequencies programmed in the channels are retained

in memory. If the power is disconnected, the memory retains the frequen-

cies for 7 days.

Weather Scan — Use as a weather information radio.

Preset 2-Second Delay — Scanner waits 2 seconds after transmission

stops before resuming scanning.

Scanner Care & Safety Tips

Do not use the scanner in high-moisture areas such as the kitchen or bath-

room.

Do not plug the scanner into an outlet controlled by a wall switch as pro-

longed periods without power causes scanner memory loss.

Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight or near heating elements or vents.

Where to Obtain More Information

Before you can scan, you must program a frequency into each channel you

want to use. The “Betty Bearcat Scanner Frequency Guide” lists typical fre-

quencies used around the U.S. and Canada that you may program into the

BC80XLT.

If the frequencies listed in the “Betty Bearcat Starter Frequency Guide” do not

work in your area, call the enclosed “Mr. Scanner” 800 number. A Uniden

representative should be able to provide you with a few sample frequencies.

Or, use the enclosed order form to purchase a local frequency list.

The Bearcat Radio Club and other similar hobby clubs have publications,

information on computer bulletin boards, and even contests for the radio en-

thusiast. Also, your local library has more information.
