[. . . ] BCD396T OWNER'S MANUAL OWNER'S MANUAL Precautions Before you use Precautionsthis scanner, please read and observe the following. 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. [. . . ] Plug the smaller end of each of the included connection cables into Remote on the right side of each scanner. Then connect the other end of the cables together using the null modem connector and gender changer. Other Settings 57 Then set the scanner containing the programming you want to transfer as the master scanner, then set the other scanner as the slave scanner. (Master scanner) Clone Master Press SCAN Key Scan (Slave scanner) Clone Slave Press SCAN Key Scan When you are ready to clone the scanner, press Scan on the slave scanner first, then on the master scanner. The master scanner checks the connection between the two scanners, then transfers its data to the slave scanner. When the transfer is complete, Complete appears on both scanners. If the transfer did not work, Error appears on the master scanner. On-Air Cloning You can clone (copy) data from a PC to a BCD396T scanner. This is useful if you want to quickly program 20 or more BCD396T scanners at the same time. Note: On-air cloning is practical if you are programming more than 10 scanners at the same time. Otherwise, we recommend you use wired programming. Menu Xfer Information On-Air Clone · Start Cloning Start on-air cloning. · Set Frequency Lets you set the frequency where your scanner receives the cloning broadcast. · Set Modulation Lets you set the cloning broadcast's modulation type. To clone (copy) data from a PC to the scanner, you need a transceiver, a PC that has an audio input, and a cable to connect your PC's sound card to the transceiver. Follow the directions supplied with the Uniden Advanced Scanner Director Software (avail- Other Settings 58 able online at http://www. uniden. com) to construct a cable and use on-air cloning. When you are receiving the cloning broadcast and are ready to clone the scanner, select Start Cloning on the scanner. The scanner receives the data from the transmission When the transfer is complete, Complete appears. If the transfer did not work, Error appears. Other Settings 59 Programming Radio Systems Your BCD396T comes preprogrammed with over 500 Programming Radio Systems analog and digital systems from the most populous areas in the US. However, to get the most enjoyment from your scanner (especially if you do not live near one of these counties), you must customize the programming for your area. To edit an existing system, use the menu to navigate to the system setting you want to change. This section assumes you are programming a new system. Programming radio systems is completed in two major steps. Program the system into your scanner according to the plan you prepared in Step 1. To make planning easier, planning worksheets are included in the back of this manual for each system type. [. . . ] Notes: · The list is subject to change. · You might hear transmissions on frequencies assigned to very distant stations. This will happen if a local system also uses the same frequency. Disregard the text tag for these transmissions (e. g. [. . . ]
