Installation
The BCT-12 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-12 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. Also,
removing the unit from the windshield makes you less
susceptible to break-in and theft.
•
Be sure the BCT-12 is mounted free of obstructions from the
rear view mirror, sun visors, or the ceiling of the automobile.
Optional Antennas
Your BCT-12 was designed for the easiest installation possible.
Uniden has packaged an additional Window Mount antenna with
your BCT-12 that will provide better performance on VHF
frequencies. For the best reception possible in every state, you
might consider a mobile scanner antenna which mounts
magnetically to your car or truck.
For more information on these and other options available for your
BearTracker, please ask your local Uniden dealer or call
