Program a Uniden Bearcat Scanner
The Bearcat line of emergency radio scanners is produced by the Uniden company. The scanners provide users a way to listen in on radio conversations between emergency groups, including police, fire departments and ambulance services. Using this device during an emergency such as a natural disaster will help you stay alert to what is happening in your area. By using the controls on the scanner you can program multiple emergency frequencies into the Bearcat's memory.
Instructions
1. Turn on the Bearcat scanner by pressing the Power button. When the device is turned on, press the Manual button to ensure that the device is not scanning through channels.
2. Locate the list of emergency frequencies for your area. This can be done several ways, including using the online database at radioreference.com (see Resources). You will need to make a note of all of the frequencies you want to save into the scanner.
3. Use the number pad in the center of the control panel of your scanner to enter in the channel number that you want to save the first frequency to. In this instance, the Bearcat 200XL model can save 200 channels, but this number will vary from model to model. Press the Manual button after entering in your number.
4. Enter in the frequency for the station you want to save using the number pad. Include the decimal point in the correct place. Press the E button when finished to save the frequency. If the frequency doesn't exist or is out of range, you will see an error message on the display.
5. Repeat the process for each frequency you want to store. When finished, press the Scan button to scan through the saved frequencies, or press Manual followed by the channel number to listen to a specific station.
