Introduction Your UBC340CRS scanner is a multi-featured conventional channel scanner. You can easily enter and store frequencies for police, marine, air, amateur, and other radio services into 100 channels distributed over ten banks. Use your scanner to monitor: • • • • • • • • Police Marine band AM CB UHF CB Railroad Air band AM/FM Broadcast Stations TV Channels (Australia 0-2, 6-10 and NZ 1-9) Your scanner can monitor the following bands. Band No. Lower Limit (MHz) Upper Limit (MHz) Modulation 1 0.
Features Channel Memory Scanning - Scans frequencies you have stored in any of the channels or banks at a rate of up to 60 channels per second. Memory Availability - Store and then scan any of up to 100 channels distributed over 10 banks. Direct Channel Access - Press 0 - 9 and HOLD to directly access any stored frequency. Channel Lockout/Frequency Lockout - Skip over stored frequencies (channels) using the Lockout feature to enable faster scanning.
Clock Display - the scanner, in standby mode, displays the time. The clock also features an alarm that can sound up to 20 minutes or be shut off manually. A convenient snooze button lets you silence the alarm for an extra 5-minutes. Delay - you can enable or disable the 2-second delay to resume scanning when a transmission ends. Enabling this feature helps prevent missing a response from one of the parties in the transmission. LCD Backlight - you can enable or disable the LCD back lighted display.

1 VOLUME Control - lets you raise or lower the level of the sound. 2 Squelch Control - lets you set the signal level required to receive a transmission. If you open the squelch all the way, you will hear hissing between transmissions. This lets you hear weak signals, but prevents scanning. As you close squelch, a stronger signal is required to stop scanning and open audio. You normally set the control to a point just where hissing on all channels stops between transmissions.
SEARCH/AM - In Scanner mode press to start a Limit Search or to resume searching. In AM/FM mode, press to select the AM memory bank. In Service mode, press to select the POLICE service. 13 L/O FM1 - In Scanner mode, press to lock or unlock a channel memory in SCAN (HOLD) or PROGRAM mode. In Search mode, press to set or clear a selected frequency previously locked out in the LIMIT SEARCH or SERVICE SEARCH (Hold) mode. In AM/FM mode, press to select the FM1 memory bank.

Setting Up The Scanner These guidelines will help you install and use your new scanner: • If your scanner receives interference or electrical noise, move the scanner or its antenna away from the source. You might also try changing the height or angle of the antennas. • Use an optional mono earphone or mono headset with proper impedance for private listening. • Do not use the scanner in high-moisture environments such as in the kitchen or bathroom.
Note that the batteries are intended to provide backup power for the clock and for scanning for a short time. When the backup batteries becomes too low, appears. Promptly replace the batteries. When you either install batteries or connect the AC Adapter to a standard Australia/New Zealand wall outlet, the scanner powers on and goes to STANDBY mode. The display shows the initial clock time of 12:00 AM. The scanner remains in STANDBY mode.
CAUTION: Be sure to follow all safety warnings provided with the antenna. Failure to do so could expose you to risk of injury or death and could severely damage the scanner. Using the Backlight To turn on the backlight for 5 seconds, tap SNOOZE/Backlight. To turn on the backlight permanently, press and hold SNOOZE/Backlight for over 2 seconds. To turn off the backlight, press and hold SNOOZE/Backlight again. Country Mode (Australia/New Zealand) The UBC340CRS is set to the Australian mode by default.
er or Using the Alarm Clock Your scanner’s Clock displays whenever you turn off the radio functions. It can also be used as a standard alarm clock. Setting the Current Time Follow the steps to set the current time: 1. Move the slide switch to Clock Set. The hour digits flash. 2. Press s or t to change the hour by one hour increments or press the number keys to select the present hour. Then press E/PGM to set the hour. The minutes digits flash. 3.
To have the UBC340CRS alert you at the selected time, slide Off/Radio/Tone to either Radio or Tone. If you set the selector to Radio, the alarm will sound with the selected audio source (AM/FM, Scanner, or AIR). If you set the selector to Tone, the scanner will sound a tone at the set time. To silence the alarm, slide Off/Radio/Tone to Off. If you do not turn off the alarm, it will sound for 20 minutes, then reset to alert you again the following day.
Listening to AM/FM/TV Channels To listen to AM/FM/TV channels, slide the mode selector to AM/FM. Then, press the button at the top of the scanner to select the desired source (AM for AM Broadcast, FM1 or FM2 for FM or TV Broadcast). Directly Selecting a Channel Press SVC/DIR to select the direct entry mode. Use the s/t buttons to step through the selected band. The scanner stops on active channels. TV channels are scanned after FM channels in FM mode.
Using AM/FM/TV Channel Memory Your scanner has 30 AM/FM memories for quick channel recall (10 for AM, 20 for FM/TV). To store a channel into memory, first select the band (AM, FM1 or FM2). Then, directly select the channel you want to store (see above). While listening to the channel, press and hold the number button that corresponds to the memory you want to save the channel into for 2 seconds. The scanner switches to the Memory mode for the current band.
ds Using the Scanner Memories Your scanner has 100 memories you can store frequencies into for scanning. The memories are arranged in 10 banks of 10 memories each. While scanning, you can quickly select which bank to scan by pressing the number button that corresponds to the bank you want to turn on or off for scanning. To select the scanner mode, slide the mode switch to Scanner. Programming Memories You will first need to determine the frequencies you want to program.

Press E/PGM to enter the program mode (the scanner turns on the PGM icon). 2. If the current channel is not the one you want to program, enter the memory number then press HOLD. 3.
on the HOLD icon. Then, select a memory by pressing s or t to go to the memory or input the memory number then press HOLD. Scanning Memory Banks To scan the memories you have programmed, press SCAN. The scanner scans all unlocked programmed memories in enabled memory banks, stopping on a memory when it detects a transmission. To turn on/off memory banks while scanning, press the number button that corresponds to the memory bank you want to enable or disable.
Setting Channel Delay You can set the scanner to pause for 2 seconds at the end of a transmission on a memory. This is useful to help prevent missed replies. Delay is turned on by default when you program a memory. To turn Delay off (or back on), first, select the channel. Then, press DELAY. The scanner turns on the DELAY icon for memories that have been programmed with delay. 23 UBC 40CRS OM.
y Searching for Active Frequencies Many people enjoy searching for the unknown frequencies that are in use in their area but are not posted to any site or in any publication. The UBC340CRS has two ways to search: Limit searching that searches between two set frequencies and Service Searching that searches for specific types of services. Using Limit Search Programming an Upper/Lower Limit Follow these steps to program an Upper and Lower limit for the limit search: 1. Press SEARCH then HOLD.
Saving a Found Frequency into a Scan Memory When the scanner stops on the frequency you want to save, press HOLD to hold on that frequency. Then, press E/PGM. The scanner displays the lowest-numbered empty memory (or the last-scanned memory if all memories are used). Use s/t to select the memory to hold the frequency, then press E/PGM to store the frequency into the memory. Search Lockouts If the scanner stops on a frequency that you don’t want to hear, you can lock it out.
Care and Maintenance General Use • • • Turn the scanner off before disconnecting the power. If memory is lost, simply reprogram each channel. Always press each button firmly until you hear the entry tone for that key entry. Location • • • • Do not use the scanner in high-moisture environments such as the kitchen or bathroom. Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight or near heating elements or vents.
