PRECAUTIONS

Before you use this scanner, please read and observe the following.

IMPORTANT
This scanning radio has been manufactured so that it will not tune to the radio frequencies assigned by the FCC for cellular telephone usage. The Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986, as amended, makes it a federal crime to intentionally intercept cellular or cordless telephone transmissions or to market this radio when altered to receive them. The installation, possession, or use of this scanning radio in a motor vehicle may be prohibited, regulated, or require a permit in certain states, cities, and/or local jurisdictions. Your local law enforcement officials should be able to provide you with information regarding the laws in your community. Changes or modifications to this product not expressly approved by Uniden, or operation of this product in any way other than as detailed by this Operating Guide, could void your authority to operate this product.

EARPHONE WARNING!
Be sure to use only a monaural earphone with this scanner. You can also use an optional stereo headset. Use of an incorrect earphone or mono headset might be potentially hazardous to your hearing. The output of the phone jack is monaural, but you will hear it in both headphones of a stereo headset. Set the volume to a comfortable audio level coming from the speaker before plugging in the monaural earphone or headset. Otherwise, you might experience some discomfort or possible hearing damage if the volume suddenly becomes too loud because of the volume control or squelch control setting. This might be particularly true of the type of earphone that is placed in the ear canal.

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW

WARNING!  Uniden does not represent this unit to be waterproof. To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not expose this unit to rain or moisture.

Uniden® and Close Call® are registered trademarks of Uniden America Corporation. Other trademarks used throughout this manual are the property of their respective holders. This scanner has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a scanning receiver, under Part 15 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 by the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, 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 methods:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
• Increase the separation between the scanner and the receiver

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2. 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 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 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.

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing a Uniden SR30C handheld scanner. The scanner is versatile, compact, and easy to use.  In addition to its standard scanning features, your scanner also includes Close Call® RF capture technology designed to help you detect and identify strong local radio signals in your area. You can program up to 500 frequencies into the scanner’s memory. The scanner lets you scan transmissions and is preprogrammed with service bands for your convenience. You can quickly search those frequencies most commonly used by police and other agencies without tedious and complicated programming. The scanner gives you direct access to over 32,000 exciting frequencies.

Use your scanner to monitor:

• Police and fire departments (including rescue and paramedics)
• NOAA weather transmissions
• Business/Industrial radio
• Utilities
• Marine and amateur (ham radio) bands

SCANNING BASICS

This section provides a background on how scanning works. You don’t need to know all of this to use your scanner, but some background knowledge will help you get the most from your SR30C.

WHAT IS SCANNING? Unlike standard AM or FM radio stations, most two-way communications do not transmit continuously. Your SR30C scans programmed channels until it finds an active frequency, then stops on that frequency and remains on that channel as long as the transmission continues. When the transmission ends, the scanning cycle resumes until it receives another transmission on a programmed channel.

WHAT IS SEARCHING? The SR30C searches for active frequencies. This is different from scanning because you are searching for frequencies that have not been programmed into the scanner. When you select frequency bands to search, the scanner searches for any active frequency within the lower and upper limits you specify for that band. When the scanner finds an active frequency, it stops on that frequency as long as the transmission lasts. If you think the frequency is interesting, you can program it into one of the bands. If not, you can continue to search.

Conventional Scanning

Conventional scanning is a relatively simple concept. Each group of users in a conventional system is assigned a single frequency (for simplex systems) or two frequencies (for repeater systems). Any time one of them transmits, their transmission always goes out on the same frequency. Up until the late 1980’s this was the primary way that radio systems operated.
Even today, many 2-way radio users operate using a conventional system:

• Aircraft
• Amateur radio
• FRS/GMRS users
• Broadcast AM/FM/TV stations
• Many business radio users

When you want to store a conventional system, all you need to know is the frequencies it operates on. When you are scanning a conventional system, the scanner stops very briefly on each channel to see if there is activity. If there isn’t, the scanner quickly moves to the next channel. If there is, then the scanner pauses the transmission until it is over.

• Simplex Operation Simplex systems use a single frequency for both transmit and receive. Most radios using this type of operation are limited to line-of-sight operation. This type of radio is frequently used at construction job sites and with inexpensive consumer radios such as GMRS/FRS radios. The range is typically 1-8 miles, depending upon the terrain and many other factors.
• Repeater Operation Repeater systems use two frequencies: one transmits from the radio to a central repeater; and the other transmits from the repeater to other radios in the system. With a repeater-based system, the repeater is located on top of a tall building or on a radio tower that provides great visibility to the area of operation. When a user transmits (on an input frequency), the signal is picked up by the repeater and retransmitted (on an output frequency). The user’s radios always listen for activity on the output frequency and transmit on the input frequency. Since the repeater is located very high, there is a very large line of sight. Typical repeater systems provide coverage out to about a 25-mile radius from the repeater location.

WHAT ARE BANKS?

• Channel Storage Banks To make it easier to identify and select the channels you want to listen to, the 500 channels are divided into 10-channel storage banks containing 50 channels each. You could use each channel storage bank to group frequencies by department, location, area of interest, or any other way you prefer. You can listen to any or all of the banks by using the number keys to turn them on or off.
• Service Search Bands The scanner is preprogrammed with many of the frequencies allocated to Weather, Police, Fire/Emergency, Marine, Racing, Civil Air, HAM Radio, Railroad, CB radio, and Other (Other = FRS/GMRS/MURS). Use the 10 bands allocated for these service searches just like the channel storage banks, searching the frequencies using Service Search mode (see page 37).

Custom Search Ranges

Custom Search mode lets you program the upper and lower limits of search ranges. You can then search these 10 custom search ranges starting from the lowest frequency to the highest frequency in the search range you entered. You can turn off ranges you don’t want to search just like turning off (disabling) channel storage banks in Scan mode. Custom search ranges use the same LCD numbers on the display as the 10-channel storage banks (see page 32).

WHAT’S IN THE BOX?

• SR30C Scanner
• Antenna
• Belt Clip (attached)
  Not shown:
• USB cable
• Strap
• Owner’s Manual

If any of these items are missing or damaged, immediately contact your place of purchase or visit our website at http://www.uniden.com.

SETTING UP THE SCANNER

Connect the Antenna

1. Align the slots around the antenna’s connector with the tabs on the scanner’s BNC connector.
2. Slide the antenna’s connector down over the scanner’s connector.
3. Rotate the antenna connector’s outer ring clockwise until it locks into place.

The scanner’s BNC connector makes it easy to connect a variety of optional antennas, including an external mobile antenna or outdoor base station antenna.

Note: Always use 50-ohm, RG-58, or RG-8, coaxial cable to connect an outdoor antenna. If the antenna is over 50 feet from the scanner, use an RG-8 low-loss dielectric coaxial cable. If it is less than 50 feet, use RG-58. You can get a BNC adapter at local electronics stores.

• Connect an Optional Earphone/Headphone For private listening, you can plug a 1/8-inch (3.5 mm) miniplug earphone or stereo headphones (not supplied) into the headphone jack on top of your scanner. This automatically disconnects the internal speaker.
• Connecting an Optional Extension Speaker In a noisy area, an optional extension speaker, positioned in the right place, might provide more comfortable listening. Plug the speaker cable’s 1/8-inch (3.5-mm) mini-plug into your scanner’s jack. If your speaker’s cable ends in a mono plug, use a mono-to-stereo adapter to prevent shortening the audio amplifier and reducing volume.
• Adjusting the Belt Clip The factory-attached belt clip makes it easier to carry the scanner. Use a Phillips screwdriver to adjust (loosen) the mounting screws or remove the belt clip completely.

POWERING THE SCANNER

Use the provided USB cable to connect your scanner to your computer to charge the Ni-MH batteries (not included) on initial installation and to recharge them. You can also use a power adapter that provides USB charge power (not included, but available at many retailers).  You can also use alkaline (ALK) non-rechargeable batteries (not included). Inside the battery compartment is a switch; set the unit to either ALK or Ni-MH to match the type of battery you’re using.

WARNING!  Non-rechargeable batteries can get hot or burst if you try to charge them.

CAUTIONS:

• When flashes in the display and the scanner beeps every 15 seconds, recharge or replace the batteries.
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.
• 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.

Installing Non-Rechargeable Batteries

1. Make sure the power is turned off.
2. Slide the battery compartment cover off.
3. Use a pointed object such as a ballpoint pen to set the battery selection switch inside the compartment to ALK.
4. Insert the batteries as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and -) marked inside the battery compartment.
5. Replace the battery compartment cover.

Installing Rechargeable 2300mAh Ni-MH Batteries
You can also use two Ni-MH rechargeable batteries to power your scanner.

1. Make sure the power is turned off.
2. Slide the battery compartment cover off.
3. Use a pointed object such as a ballpoint pen to set the battery selection switch inside the compartment to Ni-MH.
4. Install two batteries in the compartment as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and -) marked inside the battery compartment.
5. Replace the battery compartment cover.

Charging the Ni-MH Batteries through USB Connection The scanner has a built-in circuit to charge the Ni-MH batteries when a USB cable connects it to a computer (NOT to a USB hub) or to an AC or DC adapter that provides USB charging power.  Verify that the battery selection switch is set to Ni-MH and that only Ni-MH rechargeable batteries are inserted in the scanner before connecting it to your computer.

CAUTION:  Never attempt to charge non-rechargeable batteries or install non-rechargeable batteries when the battery selection switch is set to Ni-MH. 

1. Be sure the scanner is turned off. It will recharge only if it is turned off, even with the USB cable connecting it to a computer.
2. Connect the included USB cable to the scanner’s USB port.
3. Connect the other end of the USB cable to the computer’s USB port or to an AC or DC adapter that provides USB charging power.

Note: If you connect to a computer’s USB port, the PC will prompt you for the drivers for your scanner. To download and install these drivers, go to http://info.uniden.com/UnidenMan4/ SR30C.

4. The scanner displays CHArg and the low battery icon while it charges the batteries. The screen goes blank after the scanner is completely charged.

Different status messages may be displayed, depending on the  battery type and scanner status:

If the batteries are good, the scanner charges the batteries. and it operates normally. If the scanner cannot immediately determine if the batteries are good and can be charged, it checks them and displays the battery icon. If the scanner judges the batteries are good, the scanner starts charging and the battery icon disappears. If it cannot regard the batteries as good in 60 seconds, the scanner stops checking and the battery icon blinks. 

Low Battery Alert The Low Battery Alert tone sounds every 15 seconds and the battery icon flashes when the battery voltage is low. If it drops below the threshold, the scanner automatically shuts off until the battery is recharged.

TURN ON THE SCANNER

Turn on the scanner after it has been completely charged (Ni-MH batteries) or alkaline batteries have been installed.

1. You can select the band plan (USA or Canada) when you turn on the scanner (default = USA). Press and hold the key for 2-3 seconds to turn on the scanner and then press and hold 1 for USA or 2 for Canada.  The band plan will remain until you change it again.
2. If this is the first time you have turned on the scanner, All LocOut This means that no frequencies have been saved into channels. Press Search to begin searching.

Adjust Squelch
The scanner recognizes signals as transmissions if they exceed a signal strength threshold. Adjusting the squelch sets this threshold level. Increasing squelch requires a signal to be stronger to be seen as a transmission. If you set the squelch too high, you will risk not receiving transmissions that are lower than that threshold. Reducing the squelch allows weaker signals to be accepted. However, if you lower the squelch too much, you will hear white noise all the time.

1. Press Func and then press down and release the scroll control knob. SqL and a number display.
2. Turn the knob until the interference is gone. Press the scroll control knob again to set the level and return to the previous function.

Adjusting for Interference
There are several options to adjust your scanner to minimize interference. Try:

• Moving the scanner or its antenna away from the source.
• Using an optional external 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 50-70 ohm coaxial cable for lead-in. An adapter might be necessary for the optional antennas.
• Moving the scanner from high-moisture environments such as the kitchen or bathroom.
• Moving the scanner from direct sunlight or near heating elements or vents.
