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.
Avoid placing the scanner in direct sunlight or near heating elements
or vents.
•
•
•
Connecting Power
•
Insert the supplied AC
Adapter’s barrel plug into the
power jack on the back of the
scanner. Then plug the Adapter
into a standard household outlet
that supplies ꢂ40V AC, 50Hz.
Do not plug the adapter into a
switch controlled outlet.
240
•
Open the battery compartment
and insert ꢀ AA batteries.
Model AAD-008S
Be sure to note the polarity markings in
the battery compartment. You can use
either alkaline or rechargeable batteries,
but the scanner will not recharge
batteries in the compartment.
• Use only fresh alkaline AA batteries.
Rechargeable batteries can be used,
but battery life is shorter than with
alkaline batteries.
• Always remove old or weak batteries.
Batteries can leak chemicals that
destroy electronic circuits.
• Do not mix old and new batteries,
different types of batteries (standard,
alkaline, or rechargeable) or rechargeable batteries of different
capacities.

Connecting an
Antenna
The scanner uses an
external loop antenna to
receive AM broadcast
stations and an external
telescopic antenna to
receive all other signals.
Connect the supplied rod
antenna by pushing the
antenna’s connector onto
the antenna jack on the back of the scanner and twisting it to the desired
angle. Connect the two wires from the loop antenna to the AM RADIO
ANT terminals on the back of the scanner.
* Carefully remove the tube inserted before using the AM
Antenna Jack. When the Jack is not in use, keep the
tube mounted.
You can also use an external antenna (not supplied) to help to bring
in weaker signals. Use RG58, 50-Ohm lead with a BNC connector to
connect the antenna to the scanner. Connect and mount the antenna
according to the instructions provided with the antenna.

Using the Scanner Memories
Your scanner has ꢁ00 memories you can
store frequencies into for scanning. The
memories are arranged in ꢁ0 banks of ꢁ0
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.
This varies widely depending on what you want to listen to and your
geographic area. There are many frequency reference sources available
on the internet that can get you started. One such source,
http://www.radioreference.com, has a diverse listing of many conventional
frequencies.
Make a list of the frequencies you want to program, then organize them
in up to ꢁ0 groups of ꢁ0 or fewer and fill out the table below. It always
helps to plan and organize what you want to do before you start, so don’t
skip this important step. (The numbers in the left-hand columns below
correspond to your scanner’s memory numbers.)

Once you fill out the above chart, follow these steps to enter or change a
frequency in a memory:
ꢁ. Press E/PGM to enter the program mode (the scanner turns on the
PGM icon).
ꢂ. If the current channel is not the one you want to program, enter the
memory number then press HOLD.
ꢀ. Enter the frequency including the decimal point, then press E/PGM.
4. To program the next memory, press s or t and repeat step ꢀ. To
program a different memory, repeat from step ꢂ.
5. To exit program mode, press HOLD or SCAN or change the scanner’s
mode.
Notes:
• Any frequency you program replaces the previous memory contents.
• If you enter a frequency you have already stored in a different
memory in Step ꢀ, the scanner beeps and displays the channel
where you have previously stored the frequency. If you want to store
the frequency anyway, press E/PGM a second time in Step ꢀ.
• To clear the contents of a memory, enter “0” in Step ꢀ.
• Channels you program are automatically unlocked (see “Locking/
Unlocking Memories) and have Delay turned on (See “Setting
Channel Delay”).
Selecting a Memory
To select a single memory to monitor, press HOLD. The scanner turns

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.
Locking/Unlocking Memories
You can lock memories so that they are not scanned, even if their bank is
turned on. Simply press L/O when the scanner stops on a transmission on
the frequency or manually select the memory, then press L/O. The scanner
turns on the L/Oicon when it is set to a memory that is locked out.
To unlock a memory, manually select the memory, then press L/O. The scanner
turns off the L/Oicon and includes the memory when scanning its bank.
To unlock all memories, press and hold L/O for ꢂ seconds, the scanner
beeps twice and the L/Oicon disappears.
Using Priority Scan
You can set one memory in each bank as a priority memory. If you turn
on the Priority feature, the scanner will check the priority memories in
enabled banks every ꢂ seconds, even if it has stopped on a transmission
on another memory.
To set the memory in a bank to be the priority memory, manually select
the memory then, while holding on the memory, press E/PGM to put the
scanner in program mode and press PRI. The scanner turns on the PRI
icon when it is stopped on a memory designated as priority.
To turn on Priority Scan, press PRI while the scanner is scanning or
holding on a memory (but not in program mode). You will notice a short
break in audio every ꢂ seconds as the scanner checks the enabled priority
memories. If there is a transmission on a priority memory, the scanner will
immediately tune to that memory.

You can set the scanner to pause for ꢂ 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 DELAYicon for memories that have been
programmed with delay.

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
UBCꢀ40CRS 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:
ꢁ. Press SEARCH then HOLD. The scanner holds on the current search
frequency.
ꢂ. Enter one of the range limits, then press E/PGM.
Press s or t then enter the other range limit , and press E/PGM.
Searching the Selected Range
After entering the limits (or use the default limits), press SEARCH. The
scanner starts searching from the lower range up to the higher range.
To change the direction of the search, press s or t.
Using Service Search
You can select any of Police, Marine, Rail Road, AM-CB and UHF-CB
channels for active frequencies in your area.
Selecting a Service to Search
Press SVC to enter the service search mode, then press the button
corresponding to the service you want to search. When the scanner
stops on a transmission, you can force it to resume searching by pressing
s or t.

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. When locked out, the scanner won’t stop on the frequency in
either Limit Search or Service Search.
Simply press L/O when the scanner stops on the frequency to lock the
frequency out. To unlock the frequency, during search press HOLD.
Then manually step to the frequency using the s/t keys. When you
have selected the frequency, press L/O.

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.
If the scanner receives strong interference or electrical noise, move it
or its antenna away from the source of the noise. If possible, a higher
elevation might provide better reception.
•
Also try changing the height or angle of the antenna.
Cleaning
•
•
•
Disconnect the power to the unit before cleaning.
Clean the outside of the scanner with a mild detergent.
To prevent scratches, do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Be
careful not to rub the LCD window.
•
Do not use excessive amounts of water.
Repairs
Do not attempt any repair. The scanner contains no user serviceable
parts. Contact the Uniden Customer Service Center or take it to a
qualified repair technician.
Birdies
All radios can receive “birdies” (undesired signals). If your scanner stops
during Scan mode and no sound is heard, it might be receiving a birdie.
Birdies are internally generated signals inherent in the electronics of the
scanner. Press L/O to lock out the channel.
Resetting the Scanner (Clearing all Memories)
To reset the scanner to factory defaults, turn off the scanner. Then, while
holding down 2, 9, and HOLD, turn on the scanner. All scanner memory
contents are erased
