About Your New BC60XLT
The BC60XLT is a brand new state-of-the-art information radio
with automatic scanning capabilities. It can store frequencies
such as police, fire/emergency, marine, amateur, and other
communications into 10 channels.
Feature Highlights
10 Channels Program one frequency in each channel. You
must have at least one channel programmed to use this
scanner.
10 Bands, 29 MHz - 512 MHz Scan these frequency ranges
with your scanner. (Note: The frequency coverage is not
totally continuous from 29.0 MHz to 512 MHz.)
Weather Channels Use your scanner as a weather
information radio.
Memory Backup Frequencies programmed in the channels
are retained in memory for at least 1 day, and typically 3 days,
when batteries are removed from the scanner.
What is Scanning?
Unlike standard AM or FM radio stations, most two-way
communications (listed below) do not transmit continuously.
The BC60XLT scans programmed channels at the rate of
nearly 10 channels per second until it finds an active
frequency.
Scanning stops on an active frequency, and remains on that
channel as long as the transmission continues. When the
transmission ends, the scanner stays on the channel for 2
more seconds after the transmission stops, waiting for another
transmission. The scanning cycle then resumes until another
transmission is received.
While the BC60XLT is scanning channels, it is in “SCAN
Mode”. When you stop the scanning with M,itisin
“MANUAL Mode”.

Before you can scan, you must program a frequency into each
channel you want to use. The Betty Bearcat Starter Frequency
Guide lists typical frequencies used around the U.S. that you may
use to program the BC60XLT.
If the frequencies listed do not work in your area, call the 800
number on the yellow sheet enclosed with the guide. 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.
Where to Obtain More Information
The Bearcat Radio Club and other similar hobby clubs have
publications, information on computer bulletin boards, and
even contests for the radio enthusiast. Additional information
is also available through your local library.
Please remove the Registration Card from the middle of this
guide, complete, and mail it immediately.
Read this Operating Guide before using your BC60XLT for the
first time.
