Operation Turning on the Power Press and hold [POWER]. Low-Voltage/High-Voltage Alert The UH8080NB can operate on 12VDC (13.8V) or 24VDC (27.6V) power supply, with the range between 10.2VDC to 28.8VDC. If the power supply voltage exceeds 28.8VDC, an alert tone sounds and HI DC flashes for 5 seconds. The power source must not exceed 32VDC otherwise permanent damage may occur to your radio, which may not be covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. NOTE If the input voltage falls below 10.2VDC, LO DC flashes for 5 seconds. The power turns off automatically if voltage falls below 9.0VDC. -

Page 17: Call Tone Function (Wake Up Tones)
In normal Simplex operation, your radio transmits on one particular frequency and receives on that same frequency. If there is a barrier that partially blocks your transmitted signal, the probability of another radio receiving the signal is very slim. Hills, tall buildings, metallic structures,...etc tend to act as a screen between radios. Standard Operation without the aid of a Repeater station. UNIDEN UH8080NB UHF CB Transceiver... -

Page 19: Scanning
SCAN only checks channels or frequencies that are in the SCAN Memory, which are indicated by the M (memory) icon. The UH8080NB has two SCAN Memory modes; Open Scan (OS) mode and Group Scan (GS) mode, to give you flexibility and allow you to use the radio more effectively. Furthermore, any combination of the three channel groups can be scanned by pressing [POLICE] during scan to select the desired channel groups. -
Page 20: Open Scan (Os) Mode
Allows continuous scanning of all selected channels. If an active channel is found, scanning will stop on that channel. If the received signal ceases, the unit will wait 3 seconds for the signal to return, otherwise scanning resumes. After transmission in scan mode, the unit will wait 20 seconds for the signal to return, otherwise scanning resumes. To skip the active channel, press momentarily. To deactivate SCAN, press [SCAN]. If SCAN is deactivated while on an active channel, the UH8080NB will stay on that active channel. If no channels are active, the UH8080NB will reinstate the starting channel. NOTE OS Mode is indicated by the absence of the GS icon. NOTE UNIDEN UH8080NB UHF CB Transceiver... -

Page 32: Selective Calling
Therefore Selcall is a group feature used by groups with similarly set up radios. The UH8080NB has a Selective Calling system. Exceptional features, like 10 Selcall ID Memories, Receiver Quieting, Tone Squelch Scanning, Tone and Group Calling make the UH8080NB superior to other transceivers in its class. Receiver Quieting (Tone Squelch) When activated on individual UHF-CB channels (except for emergency CH05 and CH35), it automatically mutes the receiver audio circuit of the radio. It will stay in this Quiet mode as long as the Selcall tone code (Selcall ID) required to open the muting circuit is not received. -
