About Your New BC350C
The BC350C is not just a scanner. It is a brand new informa-
tion radio with automatic scanning capabilities. The built-in
Service Scan system brings you instantly into the exciting
world of scanning action. Best of all, you don’t even have to
program the scanner to begin using it!
The BC350C comes with six Service banks for monitoring
police, fire/emergency medical services, marine, air, weather,
and CB frequencies. Not only that, there’s even a fully pro-
grammable bank for storing your own private collection of
favorite frequencies.
With the BC350C, you can scan over 3,600 channels. In addi-
tion, the BC350C has 13 separate band search capabilities for
even greater scanning action.
Two Service Scan banks, POLICE and FIRE/EMS also have
programmable. Channels to store additional police and
Fire/EMS frequencies.
So whenever you encounter a newly activated local frequency
for either service category, you can add it to the bank for that
category. This gives you quick access to the frequencies you
want to hear.
So enjoy your BC350C!

What is Scanning?
Unlike standard AM or FM radio stations, most two-way com-
munications (listed below) do not transmit continuously. The
BC350C scans programmed channels at the rate of up to 100
channels per second until it locates an active frequency.
When scanning stops on an active frequency, it remains on
that channel as long as the transmission continues. When the
transmission ends, the scanner stays on the channel for 2
more seconds, waiting for another transmission. If no
response is detected, the scanning cycle resumes until anoth-
er transmission is received.
Types of Communication
You will be able to monitor communication such as:
•Police and fire departments (including rescue and para-
medics)
•NOAA weather broadcasts (8pre-programmed channels)
•Citizens Band (CB)
•Business/industrial radio
•Motion picture and press relay
•Utility
•Land transportation frequencies, such as trucking firms,
buses, taxis, tow trucks, and railroads
•Marine and amateur (ham radio) bands
•Air band
•And many more in the 25-54 MHz, 108-174 MHz, and 406-
512, and 806-956∗MHz ranges
∗Excluding Cellular Telephone Band

What is Searching?
The BC350C can search each of its 13 bands to find active
frequencies. This is different from scanning because you are
searching for frequencies that have not been programmed
into your Scanner’s channels. The scanner automatically
chooses between two speeds (Search and Turbo Search)
while searching. During Search Mode the scanner will search
100 frequencies per second, while in Turbo Search Mode the
scanner can achieve up to 300 frequencies per second in the
VHF FM band.

What is Trunk Tracking?
Conventional scanning is a simple concept. You enter a radio
frequency in your scanner’s memory which is used by some-
one you want to monitor. For example, the police in your area
may broadcast on 460.500 MHz, the fire department on
154.445 MHz, the highway department on 37.900 MHz, etc.
So when your scanner stops on a frequency, you usually
know who it is, and more importantly, you can stop on a chan-
nel and listen to an entire conversation. This type of scanning
is easy and fun.
As the demand for public communications has increased,
many public radio users don't have enough frequencies to
meet their needs, and this has created a serious problem.
Trunking radio systems have been implemented to.
In a trunked radio system the frequencies are shared among
the police and fire departments and a computer systematically
assigns available frequencies when they are needed for com-
munications.
Sharing of the available public service frequencies, or trunk-
ing, allows cities, counties, or other agencies to accommodate
hundreds of users with relatively few frequencies. Following a
conversation on a trunked system using a scanner is difficult,
if not impossible. Because when there's a short break during
the conversation you're monitoring, talkgroup will be assigned
to a completely different frequency in the trunked system.
If your local police, FIre and EMS agencies use a trunked sys-
tem and you want to be able to follow their communications,
you will want to purchase one of Unidens Trunk Trading
Scanners.

Where to Obtain More Information
Before you can scan the PRIVATE bank, you must program
the Police, Fire, EMS frequencies into the scanners channels.

the U.S.A. and Canada that you may program into your new
scanner. However, this is not a complete list of frequencies for
your area.

Installing the BC350C
For Home Use (Desktop Installation)
1. Insert the DC plug end of the AC Adapter into the DC
13.8V jack on the rear panel.
2. Plug the AC Adapter into a standard 120V AC wall outlet.
Warning: Do not plug the AC Adapter into an outlet con-
trolled by a wall switch. This could cause scanner memory
loss.
3. Plug the Telescoping Antenna into the ANT connector.
Extend the antenna to its full height. For frequencies higher
than 406 MHz, shortening the antenna may improve the
reception.
4. Use the desktop stand for a better viewing and operating
angle.
Helpful Hints
•If strong interference or electrical noise is received, relocate
the scanner or its antenna away from the source.
•If you are operating the scanner in a fringe area or need to
improve reception, use an optional antenna designed for
multi-band coverage. (You can purchase this type of anten-
na at a local electronics store.)
•If the optional antenna has no cable, use 50-70 ohm coaxial
cable for lead-in. A mating plug may be necessary for the
optional antennas.
For Mobile Use (In-Car Installation)
Mounting the Radio for every day use
Installation for Temporary Use:
A Cigarette Lighter Power Cord is provided for easy, tempo-
rary installation.
Warning: Do not use the cigarette lighter power cord in a
positive ground vehicle.
Plug one end of the Cigarette Lighter Power Cord into the cig-
arette lighter jack and the other end into the DC 13.8V jack on
the back of the scanner.
