Uniden Scanner Test Modes for the XT and P2 scanners
From The RadioReference Wiki
Before We Begin
- The usual warnings apply; RR is not responsible if you damage your scanner, use at your own risk, etc.
- Some of these cause the scanner to lock up. If this happens remove the battery / power, put it back in then turn it back on. Make sure your scanner is backed up using your software of choice before you do any of this.
- You can find support to discuss these at the Uniden Tech Support Forum

- Notes
- Erases Memory
- Press the Hold/Resume while powering on. This cycles through all the colors that the display can show, then goes to the normal power up.
- Press Scan to Exit
- Turn the Tuning knob to select a contrast level. Press it to rebase to a new value. So Contrast Level 1 thru 15 can cover a range of 1 to 31. Some of these are very light so you may wish to leave it the way it is. Vol Knob controls brightness if you press it. SQ Controls color if pressed
