-MEMORY BACKUP
The memory storage is preserved by the batteries. The frequencies you store in
each channel are retained even when you turn off the power on the BC 55XLT
When you replace the batteries, the memory storage still works for approxi-
mately 30 minutes.
BATTERY LOW INDICATION
Your scanner has a unique power-saving battery low indicator. When a special
circuit detects that the batteries are getting low, a beep will sound
if the unit is
on.
The beep tone will continue every 15 — 30 seconds until the batteries are
completely dead.
The memory will be maintained until batteries are dead.
WARNING:
When you first hear the beep tone, you should turn the unit off and
immediately replace your batteries (or recharge if NiCad batteries are used) to avoid
losing memory.
When you replace weak batteries, you must install the new ones
immediately to keep the scanner memory.
Be sure to read the "Installing Batteries"
section of this guide before attempting to replace your batteries.
EARPHONE
For private listening, remove the plastic cap, and plug an earphone into the EAR
jack on the top of your BC 55XLT.
This automatically disconnects the speaker.
BELT CLIP
The clip holds the BC 55XLT to your belt for hands-free movement.
Using a
Phillips screwdriver, attach the belt clip to the scanner with the screws pro-
vided.

1. Always remember to press the enter key when programming a frequency.
If
the enter key is not pressed the frequency will not be programmed into that
channel.
It is a good idea to press the review key after entering a frequency
to confirm that the correct number was entered.
2. If you ever have to ship the unit, be sure to remove the antenna and place it
and the unit in the original styrofoam inner packing and box.
One of the
most common
causes of damage to electronic products is improper packing
when shipping.
3. Rémember that the liquid crystal display is subject to permanent damage if it
is exposed to extremes
in temperature or humidity.
Take extra care with
your scanner in the winter and on sunny, summer days.
