Setting Up An Audio Recording Device Or Computer Recording - Uniden BCD96P2 Owner's Manual

To secure the radio to a surface, by means of the mounting bracket, follow the steps below:
1. Attach the four protective mounting feet to the mounting bracket when you casually use the
scanner on a flat surface. Should you desire to permanently mount the scanner, remove the
feet and use wood screws through the bracket as described in Steps 2 and 3.
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. 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. 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 an audio recording device which can be
controlled by a Voice Operated module (VOX) either externally or from within the unit and the
correct connecting cable. The REC (record) jack on the rear
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 operates 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 disk.
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.
