Precautions
Before you use this scanner, please read and observe the following.
IMPORTANT!
This scanning radio has been manufactured so that it will not tune to the radio frequencies assigned by the FCC for cellular
telephone usage. The Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986, as amended, makes it a federal crime to intentionally
intercept cellular or cordless telephone transmissions or to market this radio when altered to receive them. The installation,
possession, or use of this scanning radio in a motor vehicle may be prohibited, regulated, or require a permit in certain states, cities,
and/or local jurisdictions. Your local law enforcement officials should be able to provide you with information regarding the laws in
your community.
Changes or modifications to this product not expressly approved by Uniden, or operation of this product in any way other than as
detailed by this Operating Guide, could void your authority to operate this product.
EARPHONE WARNING!
Be sure to use only a monaural earphone or 32
Ω
stereo headset. Use of an incorrect earphone or stereo headset might 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 (32
Ω
). 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 might be particularly true of the type of
earphone that is placed in the ear canal.
