Setting Up An Audio Recording Device Or Computer Recording; Vehicle Installation - Uniden Trunk Tracker IV BCD996T User Manual

1. Attach the four protective rubber feet to the mounting bracket when you use the scanner on a flat surface. Do not use them
when you mount the bracket using screws.
2. Use the bracket as a template to mark positions for the two mounting screws.
3. At the marked positions, drill holes slightly smaller than the screws.
4. Remove the paper backing from each washer and stick one inside of each bracket's ear, aligning the washer's hole with the
bracket's hole.
5. Align the bracket with the threaded holes on the sides of the radio case so the bracket is beneath the radio. Secure the
bracket using the two threaded knobs. Never overtighten the knobs.
Once the radio is positioned, connect it to a source of AC power using the supplied 13.8V, 750 mA AC adapter. Insert the barrel of
the AC adapter to the jack on the rear, upper right side of the radio marked
Warning: Use only the Uniden-supplied AC adapter with this scanner.
Insert the connector of the supplied indoor telescoping antenna to the BNC Antenna Connector and apply moderate pressure to
secure it.

Setting Up an Audio Recording Device or Computer Recording

It is best if you plan ahead when you initiate the basic setup of the scanner if you include the components to record incoming
reception. You need only an audio recording device which can be control by a Voice Operated module (VOX) either externally or
from within the unit and the correct connecting cable.
The RECORD jack on the rear apron provides a constant-level audio output which is not affected by the setting of the volume control.
Use a mono or stereo cable that ends in a 3.5mm plug for the scanner. The recorder might have its own requirements as to the
proper plug Check the recorder's instructions to be sure.
Connect the cable to an external or internal VOX control so that the recorder activates when audio is present.
You can also connect the cable to the appropriate input jack on your PC so that with controlling software, you can record to your
hard disc.
In order for the function to operate, you must set the channel to record. You must also set the system's record option to either All
Channel, which will record all channels regardless of any channel's setting, or Marked Channel which only lets recording occur if
you have selected record for that channel. Which you choose will depend on various factors.

Vehicle Installation

You can mount your scanner in your vehicle, using either the supplied bracket or the supplied DIN-E sleeve.
Mounting Using the Bracket
With the bracket removed from the radio, use the holes in the bracket as a template to initially mark the location you plan to use in
your vehicle. Be absolutely certain of what might be behind the mounting surface before making any holes, be it above, or below, or
in front of your dash, armrest console, or other location. If you drill carelessly, expensive damage can result. If in doubt, consult your
vehicle dealer's service department or a qualified professional installer. Important: AVOID AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT ZONES.
Ignoring this installation concern may result in bodily harm and the inability of the airbag to perform properly.
1. Using appropriate screws or other hardware, secure the bracket.
2. Insert the scanner and insert the bracket knobs to lock the scanner in position.
3. Attach the Cigarette Lighter Power Cord to the rear of the scanner and plug the adapter end into a dash mounted 12V DC
socket.
4. Attach a suitable mounted mobile antenna to the antenna jack on the back of the scanner.
