Uniden Scanner BCT 10 User Manual

Introduction  
Welcome  
Congratulations on your purchase of the BCT-10 Highway  
Information System & Scanning Radio! State-of-the-art  
engineering and advanced electronics provide you with a  
preprogrammed information radio designed for easy operation and  
dependability.  
With the BCT-10 Scanning Radio, you can listen to hundreds of  
highway patrol and police frequencies, as well as a number of  
weather channels.  
Plus, new built-in technology sounds an alarm when a highway  
patrol unit using a mobile extender is detected!  
Best of all, you don’t have to program any frequencies. Just set the  
BCT-10 for your state, and the scanner will do the rest. Please  
read this Operating Guide thoroughly before attempting to operate  
the unit.

Installation  
Installation  
The BCT-10 uses a highly sensitive antenna to receive radio  
signals. Its sensitivity and range depend on the method of  
installation and the direction of the antenna in relation to the signal  
source. Before you decide where to put your scanner, please keep  
in mind one important factor:  
For safety, do not mount the BCT-10 in a location where it will  
obstruct your driving vision.  
Helpful Tips  
The antenna is located on the side of the unit. It should not be  
obstructed and should be pointed as close to straight up or down  
for best operation.  
Do not mount the unit in front of the heater or defroster vents.  
Do not leave the unit in direct sunlight or in the glove  
compartment of a closed car for long periods of time, as  
extreme changes in temperature may cause internal damage.  
Also, removing the unit from the windshield makes you less  
susceptible to break-in and theft.  
Be sure the BCT-10 is mounted free of obstructions from the  
rear view mirror, sun visors, or the ceiling of the automobile.

Connecting the Power  
Direct Connection  
WARNING: The BCT-10 is designed to operate only with 12V DC,  
negative ground power systems. Operation of the unit  
on other voltages or polarities will cause damage to  
the unit and may create a fire hazard.  
The straight power cord provided with the unit has bare wires at  
one end, and a small connector at the other end.  
1. Connect the positive wire to a 12V DC source in your vehicle’s  
fuse box.  
2. Connect the other wire to ground.

Connecting the Power  
When installing the power cord, make sure that:  
The socket is clean to allow proper contact.  
The power cord does not block the antenna area of the unit.  
Your unit also comes with 10 power cord mounting clips. You can  
use these clips to attach the power cord to the window frame or  
other parts of the vehicle, keeping it neat and out of the way. Use  
the double-sided foam tape squares to attach each clip. Slip the  
power cord into the clip to hold it securely in place.  
Replacing the Fuse  
The cigarette lighter plug contains a 1-ampere fuse to protect it  
from power surges.  
1. To replace the fuse, unscrew the top of the plug.  
2. Remove the fuse and replace it with the same type.  
3. To replace the top, push in  
the two metal contacts and  
twist into place.

Operating Instructions  
Adjusting the Squelch  
Think of the Squelch Control as a gate.  
1. Turn the SQUELCH control fully counterclockwise. This raises  
the “Squelch Gate” so high that no signals can get through.

2. Turn the SQUELCH control fully clockwise until you hear a  
hiss. This lowers the “Squelch Gate” so that everything gets  
through ... noise, weak signals, and strong signals.

3. Turn the SQUELCH conrol back counter clockwise just until  
the hiss stops. Now the “Squelch Gate” allows only strong  
signals through.

Noise  
4. Sometimes when you open the Squelch, you may trigger the  
Alert feature even though no highway patrol cars are in the  
area. If this happens, turn the SQUELCH control  
counterclockwise until the “rushing” noise stops. Then turn the  
BCT-10 off, and back on, to reset the Alert feature.  
Note: In metropolitan areas, you may want to adjust the Squelch  
control more counterclockwise to reduce the range of  
the Alert feature. When set fully counterclockwise,  
Squelch limits the Alert range to a short distance.

frequencies, this should never be done unless  
absolutely necessary for proper operation of your  
BCT-10. This causes the highway patrol alarm feature  
to be inactive on that frequency. No further alarms will  
be received until the deleted frequencies are restored or  
a new state is selected.  
Caution: When you lock out more than 50 frequencies, the first  
locked out frequency is deleted. You cannot lock out all

BE CAREFUL!!When you are in the Hold mode, there will be no  
Alert tones or Warning light, even if you are on

REMEMBER!! When you apply power, the BCT-10 comes on to  
exactly the same service and in exactly the  
same mode as when last turned off. If you are  
monitoring an Alert frequency in the Hold mode  
when you turn the BCT-10 off, it will come back  
to that Alert frequency in Hold mode when you  
turn it back on. The Alert feature will be  
inactive. To restore the Alert feature, press the

Memory Backup  
Your BCT-10 has a memory backup system that remembers your  
frequency selections and deletions when you turn off the unit. This  
memory lasts permanently without any external power to the unit.  
Birdies  
All radios are subject to receiving undesirable signals. If your  
scanner stops during Scan mode and no sound is heard, press the  
H
key twice to resume scanning.
