[. . . ] BC370CRS OWNER'S MANUAL OWNER'S MANUAL Precautions Before you use this 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. [. . . ] Press L or M, or press the appropriate number keys to select the correct month. Press L or M, or press the appropriate number keys to select the correct day. To exit the clock setting mode, move the slide switch to Clock. Setting the Radio Controlled Clock Options The radio controlled clock attempts to receive the time at the top of every hour (e. g. While it is checking for the time, the dish icon ( ) flashes and the signal strength indicator appears to show the condition of the received NIST signal. When it has successfully received the time, the dish icon ( ) will appear in the display. The dish remains steady for 24 hours from the last successful signal reception. Even with a good signal, it will take 2-5 minutes to set the time from the NIST signal. Using the Radio Controlled Clock 21 The NIST signal is very weak, so might not from all parts of your house or at all times of day. The time reception antenna is integrated into your scanner, and is not part of the AM or scanner antenna. Notes: · The antenna receives most strongly when the scanner keeps its left side facing to the source of waves, Fort Collins in Colorado. · Computers and some light dimmers can generate signals that can interfere with the NIST signal. If this occurs, reposition the scanner away from these devices, or turn them off to remove the interfering signal. · If the scanner is inside of a building that has a lot of metal, the timesetting signal will be blocked. There are four atomic clock settings: · Time Zone · Daylight Savings Time · RCC (Radio Controlled Clock) On or Off · Signal RX Setting Your Time Zone 1. The hours setting starts to flash, and the soft-key display changes to show the time-set functions. Once you have selected the correct setting, press E, then slide the TIME switch back to Clock. Setting the Daylight Savings Time Option If your area pays attention to Daylight Savings Time, turn on the DST option by: 1. The hours setting starts to flash, and the soft-key display changes to show the time-set functions. The scanner shows the current DST setting (ON or OFF). Using the Radio Controlled Clock 22 3. Use L or M, or press the ON or OFF soft key to select the correct option. Once you have selected the correct setting, press E, then slide the TIME switch back to Clock. Note that turning on this setting tells the receiver to set the DST according to the received NIST signal. It does not actually change the time to daylight savings time unless it is appropriate. Turning On/Off Radio Control In some areas it is just not possible to receive the NIST signal. If this is the case where you are, you should turn off the RCC option. [. . . ] · Also try changing the height or angle of the antenna. Cleaning · Disconnect the power to the unit before cleaning. · To prevent scratches, do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. · Do not use excessive amounts of water. Repairs Do not attempt any repair. Contact the Uniden Customer Service Center or take it to a qualified repair technician. Birdies All radios can receive "birdies" (undesired signals). [. . . ]
