Microphone PRESS- TO-TALK Button Use the PRESS- TO-TALK button on the microphone to receive and transmit. Press the button to activate the transmitter and release the button to receive. When transmitting, hold the microphone about two inches from your mouth and speak clearly in a normal voice.
Back Panel . .. IIXI' EXTERNAL SPEAKER JACK (EXT.SP) Used for remote receiver monitoring. When the external speaker is connected the internal speaker is automatically disconnected. POWER DC power is connected to the transceiver through this jack. A power cord is supplied with the transceiver.
Only a properly matched antenna system will allow maximum power transfer from the 50-ohm transmission line to the radiating element. Your Uniden dealer is qualified to assist you in the selection requirements.
How to Receive Confirm that the power source, antenna, and microphone are connected properly before proceeding to the following steps. Turn the unit ON by rotating the VOLUME control clockwise. Set the CHANNEL CONTROL knob to the desired channel. Set the VOLUME control to a comfortable Listen to the background noise from the speaker.
Pressing the SCAN button one time will initiate scanning, and scanning is stopped either by pressing the button a second time or pressing the Press-to- Talk button. Programming Scan Channels When the radio is initially turned on, there will not be any channels programmed in the Group Scan Memory.

Scanning Group Tocommence GROUP SCANNING, select the GROUP SCAN mode by pressing the OS/GS button when in the OS mode, and select the SCAN mode by momentarily pressing the SCAN button. The SUNDOWNER UH-O99 will now scan the programmed channels, displaying each channel number and the PRIORITY channel number.
Removing Open Scan Channels When the radio is initially turned on, all 40 channels are programmed in the OPEN SCAN MEMORY. If you do not wish to scan some particular channels (e.g. if one or more channels are continually busy and always causing the scanning function to pause), you can remove these channels from the scan group by using the following procedure: Cancel scal)ning (if active).
Reinstalling Channels into the Scan Group To reinstall previously deleted channels into the scan group, simply repeat steps 3 and 4. However, this time note that a beep will be heard when the MEM button is pressed, and the MEM indicator will light, indicating that the selected channel is now included in the scan group.
Selective Calling Outline Selective Calling (SELCALL) allows the user to receive/transmit on a shared busy channel. The SUNDOWNER UH-O99 has a specially built-in Selective Calling (SELCALL) system. Exceptional features like Receiver Quieting, Tone Squelch Scanning, Tone and Group Calling make the SUNDOWNER UH-O99superior to any transceivers in its class.
Press the T.Sa button for about 1.5 seconds. Two beeps are heard and the T.SO indicator disappears from the LCD display. Call Receiving While in the T.SO condition, when UH-099 receives a code matching your SELCALL ID, it will perform the following operations: Automatically...
Unlike Normal Scanning, T.Sa Scanning checks the detected carrier for SELCALL information. If this information is not found, T.Sa scanning resumes. When a call is received during T.Sa Scanning, UH-099 follows the same response as when receiving a call on a Tone Squelch Channel. It differs only in the following ways.
SELCALL ID is being transmitted An Acknowledge Tone coming from the called radio will be received if you had successfully made contact. The Acknowledge Tone for the SUNDOWNER UH-099 is a succession of three Low Tone Beeps. 5/6 Tone TX SELCALL Programming 1.1 Press the TC Button on the Microphone.

Care and Maintenance Notice If the UH-099 has been subjected to extreme high .temperature (above 60°C) for a prolonged period of time, blackening of the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) may occur. This is not a fault. Normal LCD operation resumes when the temperature back to proper operating conditions (0 to 55°C).
