The BC350C is not just a scanner . It is a brand new information radio with automatic scanning capabilities. The built-in Service Scan system brings you instantly into the exciting world of scanning action.
Unlike standard AM or FM radio stations, most two-way communications (listed below) do not transmit continuously . The BC350C scans programmed channels at the rate of up to 100 channels per second until it locates an active frequency . When scanning stops on an active frequency , it remains on that channel as long as the transmission continues.
The BC350C can search each of its 13 bands to find active frequencies. This is dif ferent from scanning because you are searching for frequencies that have not been programmed into your scanner ’ s channels. The scanner automatically chooses between two speeds (Search and T urbo Search) while searching.
Conventional scanning is a simple concept. Y ou enter a radio frequency in your scanner ’ s memory which is used by someone you want to monitor . For example, the police in your area may transmit on 460.500 MHz, the fire department on 154.445 MHz, the highway department on 37.
Before you can scan the Private bank, you must program the police, fire, EMS, or other interesting frequencies into the Scanners Channels. The Frequency Guide lists typical frequencies used around the U.S.A. and Canada that you may program into your new scanner .
• BC350C Auto Scanner • T elescoping Antenna (Model A T -124) • Fixable Mobile Antenna (A T002) • AC Adapter (Model AD-140U) • Cigarette Lighter Adapter Plug (CD007 (PS001)) • DC Power Cord (WZ647) for hard wiring power from your car to your scanner .
The BC350C is a compact mobile/base scanner , and one of the most user friendly communication products available today . The BC350C features: • T urbo search – Allows your BC350C to search 300 steps per second. (5 kHz step band only) • Seven Banks – 6 pre-programmed Service banks and one standard, programmable Private bank.
For Home Use (Desktop Installation) 1. Insert the DC plug end of the AC Adapter into the DC 13.8V jack on the rear panel. 2. Plug the AC Adapter into a standard 120V AC wall outlet. 3. Plug the T elescoping Antenna into the ANT connector . Extend the antenna to its full height.
Connecting the Antenna Plug Connect the mobile antenna plug into the ANT connector on the rear panel. (For more information on antenna installation, please refer to the instruction guide that came with your antenna.) Mounting the Radio for Everyday Use The BC350C can be mounted using the mounting bracket (optional).
[HOLD] KEY Press [HOLD] to stop scanning or searching. Press any bank key or [SEARCH] to deactivate Hold Mode. In the Hold Mode, [UP] and [DOWN] are active. [UP] & [DOWN] KEYS These keys are used in several different ways: T o manually step up or down a frequency/channel in any Hold Mode, use [UP] or [DOWN] .
Then use [UP] or [DOWN] to step through all 50 channels manually (including Locked Out channels). [FIRE/EMS] KEY Press [FIRE/EMS] to start scanning fire and emergency medical frequencies. The Fire/EMS bank already has 280 pre-programmed frequencies. They are used for fire department and emergency medical communications.
[WX] KEY 8 NOAA weather broadcasts and 2 Canadian marine weather broadcasts frequencies are programmed into the Weather (WX) bank. Press [WX] to find your local weather channel. [CB] KEY 40 CB channels are programmed into the CB bank. Press [CB] to start scanning CB channels.
Press this key as many times as it takes to find the band you want to search. IMPORT ANT : This key has a very important secondary function. In Program Mode, you can press [BAND] to leave this mode. [PROG] KEY This key initiates and completes programming.
MEMO LOCK Switch In the ON position, the Program ( [PROG] ) key is disabled. This pre- vents any unauthorized programming or accidental entries. When programming is disabled, pressing [PROG] emits the multi- beep and displays " Prg-Loc ". ANT .
Screens The following illustrates some of the screen displays you will use: The digits and words on the screen at the left are shown for reference only . They do not all display at the same time. SCAN Screen " " scrolls through the display right to left.
Band Screen When pressing [BAND] , the band you are currently searching appears on the display . Press [BAND] again or press [UP] or [DOWN] within 3 seconds to change to another band.
Y ou can scan in one of three ways: 1. Service Bank Scanning Press one of the six service bank keys, [POLICE] , [FIRE/EMS] , [AIR/MRN] , [WX] , or [CB] to find an active frequency . 2. Band Search Select a frequency band to search. The Search function is different from scanning.
3. Set the squelch at the scanning threshold by turning [SQ] counterclockwise just until the noise disappears. 4. Press any of the Service bank keys: [POLICE] , [FIRE/EMS] , [AIR/MRN] , [WX] , or [CB] . The scanner automatically starts scanning the selected bank.
T o start scanning, press any bank key: [POLICE] , [FIRE/EMS] , [AIR/MRN] , [WX] , [CB] , or [PRIV A TE] keys. When the BC350C is scanning, you can see the "SCAN" message moving across the display . Scanning stops on any active channel automatically and displays its frequency , except those channels programmed with L/O (Lock Out).
Notes: • All weather channels transmit continuous broadcasts. Once the Weather scan stops on a transmission, it will remain on that channel. Weather scan will not resume automatically . Y ou must press [WX] again to reactivate scanning. In some parts of the country , you may not be able to monitor weather broadcasts, such as in low-lying areas.
Searching for Locked Out Channels In Scan Mode, you will not see locked out channels. However , to search for locked out channels and display them on the screen, use [UP] and [DOWN] in Scan/Hold Mode. These keys will enable you to search manually through the bank in Hold Mode only .
The BC350C can search up to 13 separate frequency bands to help you discover new and exciting frequencies in your area. T o start searching, press [SEARCH] . Searching starts from the frequency most recently used. Press [UP] or [DOWN] to change the searching direction.
T o restore one locked out frequency , place the scanner in the Hold Mode, use [UP] or [DOWN] to find the locked out frequency . Then press [L/O] to unlock the frequency and place it back in the search rotation. T o restore all locked out frequencies in any band, press and hold [L/O] key for more than 2 seconds while in the Hold Mode.
For the Police, Fire/EMS, or Private bank, you can store your favorite frequencies into the channels of each bank, one fre- quency per channel. • Y ou can program any displayed frequency on the screen. • If you do not know any local frequencies you can search for an active frequency by scanning any service bank or searching any selected band.
Programming from SCAN Mode: When you find an interesting active police frequency while scanning, and want to program it into the private bank (see "Scanning" on page 19) to monitor their communications: 1. Press [HOLD] . “ HOLD ” appears on the display .
Programming from SEARCH Mode: For example, when you find an interesting active frequency while searching 144 - 148 band, and want to program it into the Private bank (see "Band Search" on page 22 to search a frequency): 1. Press [HOLD] . “ HOLD ” appears in the display .
Deleting a Programmed Frequency (programming "000.0000") Y ou can erase a programmed frequency in a channel. T o do this, find and display "000.0000", and then program "000.0000" into its channel. 1. Find and display "000.
28 2. Program "000.0000" into its Channel For example to erase a programmed frequency in channel 13 of the Private bank: 1) Press [PRIV A TE] while this screen appears. T o display this screen, see step 1 above. "PRIV A TE" appears in the display .
