Terms and Definitions
Frequency Radio signals are sent as waves through the
air. These waves move up and down. A
frequency is the number of times in a certain
time period, usually a second, that these
waves move all the way up and all the way
down and back to all the way up. For example:
123.44 kHz means that the waves are moving
all the way up and all the way down and back
all the way up again 123,440 times each
second.
Mobile Extender When highway patrol officers step away from
their cars, signals from the patrol car are sent
to their portable radios via a mobile extender.
The mobile extender is a transmitter/receiver
that receives the signal from the station and
transmits it to the portable radio on a different,
but lower, frequency.
Scanning Scanning is the process by which your
scanning radio looks for “activity” in the
channels it is programmed to look at. The
scanner checks each frequency for the
presence of a signal, and when it finds a
frequency with a signal, for example someone
talking on it, it stops, allowing you to listen to
the signal. The BCT-10’s Highway Patrol Alert
System also looks for activity on mobile
extender frequencies. When the BCT-10
detects the presence of a signal on one of
these frequencies, it will trigger an audio and
visual alarm.

Installation
The BCT-10 uses a highly sensitive antenna to receive radio
signals. Its sensitivity and range depend on the method of
installation and the direction of the antenna in relation to the signal
source. Before you decide where to put your scanner, please keep
in mind one important factor:
For safety, do not mount the BCT-10 in a location where it will
obstruct your driving vision.
Helpful Tips
The antenna is located on the side of the unit. It should not be
obstructed and should be pointed as close to straight up or down
for best operation.
•Do not mount the unit in front of the heater or defroster vents.
•Do not leave the unit in direct sunlight or in the glove
compartment of a closed car for long periods of time, as
extreme changes in temperature may cause internal damage.
Also, removing the unit from the windshield makes you less
susceptible to break-in and theft.
•Be sure the BCT-10 is mounted free of obstructions from the
rear view mirror, sun visors, or the ceiling of the automobile.

Windshield Mounting
1. Find a good position for the BCT-10 on your windshield. Refer
to the Helpful Tips on page 5 for some guidelines on mounting
positions.
2. Put the metal
mounting
bracket on
the
windshield to
adjust it for
best position.
3. If necessary, adjust the metal
mounting bracket so that
when you slide the BCT-10
onto it, it is parallel to the
road surface and fits flush
against the windshield.Your
BCT-10 should look like the
example at the right once it
is installed.
Caution:
Do Not adjust the metal mounting bracket with the
BCT-10 attached. Doing so can cause damage to the
bracket and the unit.
