Setting Up Sleep Mode; Using The Scanner Memories; Programming Memories - Uniden BC365CRS Owner's Manual

SETTING UP SLEEP MODE

You can set the amount of time the scanner will remain on. For example, if
you are going to bed and you want to listen to the radio for a while, you can
set the scanner to turn itself off after 20 minutes. If you are listening to weather
reports during the day, you can turn Sleep mode off to keep the scanner from
turning itself off.
1. With the scanner power turned on, press and hold HOLD/Sleep. The
number of minutes currently set for Sleep mode displays.
2. Use ▲/▼ to scroll up or down to select (or use the keypad to directly
enter) the minutes the scanner will stay on (1 - 99, or OFF to turn off
Sleep mode). Press E/PGM to select that number.
3. The screen return to the previous display.

USING THE SCANNER MEMORIES

Your scanner has 500 channels that you can save
frequencies into for scanning. The channels are
arranged in 10 banks of 50 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 save.
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.
You might also search for regional hobbyist sites that cover your area or
check the database at the FCC's General Menu (http://www.fcc.gov) for
frequencies of interest.
Make a list of the frequencies you want to program, then organize them in
groups. The following table is an example of one way to organize and keep
track of your frequencies.The numbers in the left-hand columns correspond to
your scanner's channel numbers. Only the first 10 channels of the first three
banks are shown here.
