Owner's Manual BCD396T OWNER’S MANUAL OWNER’S MANUAL Precautions PrecautionsBefore 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 with this scanner. You can also use an optional 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. Precautions 2 WARNING! Uniden does not represent this unit to be waterproof. To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not expose this unit to rain or moisture.

  • Special Report 396XT
    Special Report The Uniden-Bearcat BC396XT Digital Scanner Features, Operation and Competition A Scanner Master Ultimate Review Copyright 2009, Richard Carlson/Scanner Master Corporation Introduction The Uniden Bearcat BCD396XT is the follow-up to Uniden’s premier handheld scanner, the BCD396T, which has been discontinued. The ‘XT has more memories (up to 25,000 channels!) and many new features while retaining the 396D’s small form factor and price. The BCD396XT directly competes with the GRE PSR500 and Radio Shack Pro106 The BCD396XT adds such new features as allowing up to 500 talkgroups per trunked system (compared to 200 for the 396D), NAC decoding, Fire Toneout Search and GPS Support. Some of these features have never been available on any scanner before. The BCD396XT uses Uniden’s Dynamic Memory Architecture (DMA) instead of fixed Banks and Channels. This method of programming was introduced a few years back with the BC246T and is also used on such scanners as the BCD396T and BCD996T. While it has a similar effect as the GRE “Memory Object” system, the Uniden method is somewhat easier to fathom and program for many people. DMA allows you to program as many Channels, Systems and Groups as you can until the memory runs out instead of locking you into a fixed amount of banks and channels. The radio resembles the BCD396T but has a silver faceplate. Otherwise the general layout is identical, with a single multi-function control knob on the top, 16 button keypad on the front and 2 side buttons on the left side. The right side has the same computer interface jack and power jack, the earphone jack is on the top between the multi-function knob and the antenna.
