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.
- Power down to exit unless stated otherwise
- If you turn the BCD536HP off then on to reset it, you might get the infamous Nothing To Scan message. If you do, select Write Data to Scanner.
- With the SDS100 you may need to try more than once to get it to work.
- You can find support to discuss these at the Uniden Tech Support Forum
