THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW  
This scanner has been tested and found to comply with the limits  
for a scanning receiver, pursuant to Part ꢀꢄ of the FCC Rules. These  
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against  
harmful interference in a residential installation. This scanner  
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and,  
if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,  
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. There  
is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular  
installation. If this scanner does cause harmful interference to  
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning  
the scanner on and off, you are encouraged to try to correct the  
interference by one or more of the following measures:  
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna  
Increase the separation between the scanner and the receiver  
This device complies with Part ꢀꢄ of the FCC Rules. Operation is  
subject to the following two conditions:  
ꢀ. This device may not cause harmful interference, and

ꢁ. This device must accept any interference received, including  
interference that may cause undesired operation.  
SCANNINg lEgAllY  
Your scanner covers frequencies used by many different groups,  
including police and fire departments, ambulance services,  
government agencies, private companies, amateur radio services,  
military operations, pager services, and wireline (telephone and  
telegraph) service providers. It is legal to listen to almost every  
transmission your scanner can receive. However, there are some  
transmissions that you should never intentionally listen to. These  
include:  
Telephone conversations (cellular, cordless, or other private  
means of telephone signal transmission)  
Pager transmissions  
Any scrambled or encrypted transmissions  
According to the Electronic Communications Privacy Act  
(ECPA), you are subject to fines and possible imprisonment for  
intentionally listening to, using, or divulging the contents of such  
a conversation unless you have the consent of a party to the  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
conversation (unless such activity is otherwise illegal). This scanner  
has been designed to prevent the reception of cellular telephone  
transmissions and the decoding of scrambled transmissions. This  
is done to comply with the legal requirement that scanners be  
manufactured so they are not easy to modify to pick up these  
transmissions. Do not open your scanner’s case to make any  
modifications that could allow it to pick up transmissions that are  
illegal to monitor. Modifying or tampering with your scanner’s  
internal components or using it in a way other than as described  
in this manual could invalidate your warranty and void your FCC  
authorization to operate it. In some areas, mobile and/or portable  
use of this scanner is unlawful or requires a permit. Check the  
laws in your area. It is also illegal in many areas (and a bad idea  
everywhere) to interfere with the duties of public safety officials by  
traveling to the scene of an incident without authorization.  
AbOUT YOUR NEW bC355C SCANNER

Helpful Hints  
If strong interference or electrical noise is received, relocate  
the scanner or its antenna away from the source.  
If you are operating the scanner in a fringe area or need to  
improve reception, use an optional antenna designed for  
multi-band coverage. (You can purchase this type of antenna  
at a local electronics store.)  
If the optional antenna has no cable, use ꢄ0-ꢆ0 ohm coaxial  
cable for lead-in. A mating plug may be necessary for the  
optional antennas.  
FOR MObIlE USE (IN-CAR INSTAllATION)  
Temporary Mobile Installation  
A Vehicle Power Adapter is provided for an easy, temporary power  
supply.

ꢀ. Plug one end of the Vehicle Power Adapter into the vehicle’s  
accessory power jack and the other end into the DC ꢀꢂ.ꢇV jack  
on the back of the scanner.  
ꢁ. 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  
mobile antenna.  
Permanent Mobile Installation  
Permanently installing the BCꢂꢄꢄC scanner into a vehicle involves  
two main steps - physically installing the scanner and physically  
connecting the power supply. It does not matter which is installed  
first; perform these procedures in an order that is most appropriate  
for your vehicle’s configuration.  
Permanently Mounting the BC355C Unit  
ꢀ. Select a location in your vehicle to mount the BCꢂꢄꢄC unit.  
Avoid any locations that could interfere with your driving. In a  
passenger car, the ideal location is underneath the dashboard  
on the passenger side.  
ꢁ. Use the mounting bracket (optional) as a template for  
marking the location of the mounting screws.  
ꢀꢇ  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
Note: If there are screws already holding the dashboard,  
you may be able to use the same screw holes to mount the  
bracket  
ꢂ. Drill the necessary holes and secure the mounting bracket in  
place using the screws provided.  
CAUTION: Do not drill into air bags  Do not drill if what is  
behind the dashboard is unknown  
ꢃ. Mount the scanner to the bracket only after the wiring has  
been connected to the rear panel.  
Permanently Connecting the Mobile Power Supply  
CAUTION: If you are not experienced in connecting  
accessories to the vehicle fuse box, please see your  
automotive dealer for advice on proper installation  
ꢀ. Check the vehicle battery connections to determine which  
battery terminal (positive or negative) is grounded to the  
engine block or chassis. Most of today’s vehicles use a  
negative ground. If your vehicle has a negative ground, follow  
Steps ꢁ and ꢂ. Otherwise, skip to the Caution in Step ꢂ.

ꢁ. Connect the RED wire of the DC power cord to the accessory  
contact in your vehicle’s +ꢀꢂ.ꢇ VDC fuse box.  
ꢂ. Connect the BLACK wire of the DC power cord to the negative  
side of the vehicle (usually the chassis).  
Caution: In vehicles with a positive ground, the RED wire  
connects to the chassis and the blACK wire connects to  
the accessory contact in the fuse box

lOCK OUT CHANNElS / FREqUENCIES  
Sometimes the scanner may stop on a particular channel or  
frequency because of noise or other unwanted transmissions. This  
feature lets you lock out channels and frequencies you don’t want  
to scan. The Lock Out feature skips these channels and frequencies  
during scanning.  
Types of Lock Out  
Temporary Lock Out  
Pressing l/O once temporarily locks out the current frequency or  
channel. The scanner displays “T L/Ofor that frequency or channel  
and continues scanning. All “T L/Ofrequencies/channels are  
restored when the scanner is powered off and back on.

Permanent Lock Out  
Pressing l/O twice permanently locks out the current frequency or  
channel. The scanner displays “L/Ofor that frequency or channel  
and continues scanning. L/Ofrequencies/channels can be  
manually restored; the procedure is provides in this section.  
Lock Out Limits  
Any of the ꢂ00 user-programmed channels can be locked out;  
however, there is a limit to the number of frequencies that can  
be locked out of a preprogrammed bank or band search. Up to  
ꢀ00 frequencies can be permanently locked out, and up to ꢀ00  
frequencies can be temporarily locked out.  
If you try to permanently or temporarily lock out ꢀ0ꢀ frequencies,  
the scanner releases the first locked out frequency when you lock  
out the ꢀ0ꢀst frequency.  
Locking out a frequency in any service bank or search band locks it  
out in all service banks or search bands. However, it will not affect  
the frequency if you have saved it in a channel.  
You can only lock out all the channels or frequencies in the Private,  
Cb, and MRN banks. If you lock out all the channels or frequencies

PRIVATE bANK  
The BCꢂꢄꢄC also provides ꢂ separate banks to hold favorite  
frequencies. When you find a frequency that you would like to  
listen to again, you can program it into either the PD/FD/EMg or  
AIR/MRN service bank or into the Private bank. The advantage to  
programming frequencies into the Private bank is that you can  
scan that bank with other service banks turned off.  
Note: Although it is possible to program a Weather  
frequency into the Private bank, it is not recommended

Programming Frequencies and Channels  
Up to ꢀ00 frequencies (ꢀ frequency per channel) can be  
programmed into each of the following banks (ꢂ00 frequencies  
combined):  
Police/Fire/EMG  
Air/Marine  
Private  
Any displayed frequency for these banks can be programmed  
into the scanner, and frequencies not currently displayed can be  
located through the Search mode and through manually scanning  
the preprogrammed banks. In addition, websites such as www.  
radioreference.com provide listings of local broadcast frequencies.

kitchen or bathroom.  
Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight or near heating elements  
or vents.

Clean the outside of the scanner with a soft cloth. 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 serviceable  
parts. Contact the Uniden Customer Hotline at ꢀ-ꢇ00-ꢁ9ꢆ-ꢀ0ꢁꢂ or  
take it to a qualified repair technician.  
bIRDIES  
All radios may receive undesired signals or birdies. If your scanner

receiving a birdie. Birdies are internally-generated signals inherent  
in the receiver’s electronics. If the interference is not severe, you  
might be able to turn Sq clockwise to cut out the birdie. You can  
also press SEARCH to resume searching.
