The FCC Wants You to Know  
This scanner has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a  
scanning receiver, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are  
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in  
a residential installation. This scanner generates, uses, and can radiate  
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with  
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.  
There is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular  
installation. If this scanner does cause harmful interference to radio or  
television reception, which can be determined by turning the scanner on  
and off, you are encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or  
more of the following measures:  
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna  
• Increase the separation between the scanner and the receiver  
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject  
to the following two conditions: 1) This device may not cause harmful  
interference, and 2) this device must accept any interference received,  
including interference that may cause undesired operation.  
Scanning Legally  
Your scanner covers frequencies used by many different groups,  
including police and fire departments, ambulance services, government  
agencies, private companies, amateur radio services, military operations,  
pager services, and wireline (telephone and telegraph) service providers.  
It is legal to listen to almost every transmission your scanner can receive.  
However, there are some transmissions that you should never  
intentionally listen to. These include:  
Telephone conversations (cellular, cordless, or other private means of  
telephone signal transmission)  
• Pager transmissions  
• Any scrambled or encrypted transmissions  
According to the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA), you are  
subject to fines and possible imprisonment for intentionally listening to,  
using, or divulging the contents of such a conversation unless you have  
the consent of a party to the conversation (unless such activity is  
otherwise illegal). This scanner has been designed to prevent the  
reception of cellular telephone transmissions and the decoding of  
scrambled transmissions.  
The FCC Wants You to Know  
 
6
This is done to comply with the legal requirement that scanners be  
manufactured so they are not easy to modify to pick up these  
transmissions. Do not open your scanner’s case to make any  
modifications that could allow it to pick up transmissions that are illegal to  
monitor. Modifying or tampering with your scanner’s internal components  
or using it in a way other than as described in this manual could  
invalidate your warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it.  
In some areas, mobile and/or portable use of this scanner is unlawful or  
requires a permit. Check the laws in your area. It is also illegal in many  
areas (and a bad idea everywhere) to interfere with the duties of public  
safety officials by traveling to the scene of an incident without  
authorization.

Introduction  
Your BC370CRS scanner is a multi-featured conventional channel  
scanner with All Hazards alert. You can easily enter and store frequencies  
for police, fire/emergency, marine, air, amateur, and other radio services  
into 300 channels distributed over ten banks.  
The scanner also alerts you when NOAA (National Oceanic and  
Atmospheric Administration) or any broadcast station the scanner is tuned  
to issues an EAS (Emergency Alert System) signal. These alerts are  
issued for severe weather, homeland security, and law enforcement  
events (such as Amber alerts).  
Your BC370CRS also has a built-in RCC (Radio Controlled Clock) that  
automatically sets to the precise current time based on the NIST (National  
Institution of Standards and Time) nationwide broadcast*. For more  
information about the standard time signal, visit the National Institute of  
Standards and Time at http://tf.nist.gov. *Not available in all areas.  
Use your scanner to monitor:  
• Analog public safety channels  
• Police and fire departments (including rescue and paramedics)  
• NOAA weather transmissions (including 3 Canadian Coast Guard  
channels)  
• Business/Industrial radio and utilities  
• Marine and amateur (ham radio) bands  
• Aircraft (commercial and private) band  
• Railroad  
• AM/FM Broadcast Stations  
• TV Channels 2-13

Setting Up The Scanner  
These guidelines will help you install and use your new scanner:  
• If your scanner receives interference or electrical noise, move the  
scanner or its antenna away from the source. You might also try  
changing the height or angle of the antennas.  
• Use an optional mono earphone or mono headset with proper  
impedance for private listening.  
• Do not use the scanner in high-moisture environments such as in the  
kitchen or bathroom.  
• Avoid placing the scanner in direct sunlight or near heating elements  
or vents.  
Connecting Power  
• Insert the supplied AC  
Adapter’s barrel plug into the  
power jack on the back of the  
scanner. Then plug the Adapter  
into a standard household  
outlet that supplies 120V AC,  
60Hz. Do not plug the adapter  
into a switch controlled outlet.  
• Open the battery compartment  
and insert 3 AA batteries.  
Be sure to note the polarity  
markings in the battery  
compartment. You can use either  
alkaline or rechargeable batteries, but  
the scanner will not recharge batteries  
in the compartment.  
• Use only fresh alkaline AA batteries.  
Rechargeable batteries can be used,  
but battery life is shorter than with  
alkaline batteries.  
• Always remove old or weak batteries.  
Batteries can leak chemicals that  
destroy electronic circuits.  
• Do not mix old and new batteries,  
different types of batteries (standard,  
alkaline, or rechargeable) or  
rechargeable batteries of different  
capacities.  
Setting Up The Scanner  
 
18  
Note that the batteries are intended to provide backup power for the clock  
and for scanning for a short time. When the backup batteries becomes  
too low,  
appears and flashes. Promptly replace the batteries.  
When you either install batteries or connect the AC Adapter to a standard  
US wall outlet, the scanner powers on and goes to STANDBY mode.  
The display shows the initial clock time of 12:00 AM. The scanner  
remains in STANDBY mode.  
Connecting an Antenna  
The scanner uses an  
external loop antenna to  
receive AM broadcast  
stations and an external  
telescopic antenna to  
receive all other signals.  
Connect the supplied rod  
antenna by pushing the  
antenna’s connector onto  
the antenna jack on the  
back of the scanner and  
twisting it to the desired  
angle. Connect the two  
wires from the loop  
antenna to the AM RADIO  
ANT terminals on the  
back of the scanner.  
* Carefully remove the tube inserted before using the  
AM Antenna Jack. When the Jack is not in use, keep  
the tube mounted.  
You can also use an external antenna (not supplied) to help to bring in  
weaker signals. Use RG58, 50-Ohm lead with a BNC connector to  
connect the antenna to the scanner. Connect and mount the antenna  
according to the instructions provided with the antenna.  
CAUTION: Be sure to follow all safety warnings provided with the  
antenna. Failure to do so could expose you to risk of injury or death and  
could severely damage the scanner.  
Setting Up The Scanner

Using the Backlight  
To turn on the backlight for 15 seconds, tap SNOOZE/Backlight.  
To turn on the backlight permanently, press and hold SNOOZE/Backlight  
for over 2 seconds. To turn off the backlight, press and hold  
SNOOZE/Backlight again.  
Adjusting the Contrast  
To change the contrast to provide the best visibility where you use it,  
follow these steps.  
1. Press POWER to put the scanner in standby mode.  
2. Press L or M. You hear a beep and the contrast starts to change.  
Release L or M at the appropriate level.  
Note:  
The display contrast level returns to the default setting if power is lost.  
 
20  
Using the Radio Controlled Clock  
Your scanner’s Clock displays all the time. When you turn off the radio  
functions, it also displays the current seconds and date. It can also be  
used as a standard alarm clock. Even though your scanner can set its  
time automatically from the nationwide NIST broadcast, since this signal  
is usually weak and can often only be received reliably at night in many  
areas, we recommend you manually set the time to get started.  
Setting the Current Time and Date  
Follow the steps to set the current time and date:  
1. Move the slide switch to Clock Set.  
The hour digits flash.  
2. Press L or M to change the hour by one  
hour or press the number keys to select  
the present hour. Then press E/PGM.  
The minutes digits flash.  
3. Press L or M to change the minute setting by one minute or press the  
appropriate number keys to enter the minutes. Press E/PGM. Seconds  
reset to 00, the AM/PMicon flashes.  
4. Press L or M to move from AM to PM and back. Press E/PGM.  
The current year flashes.  
5. Press L or M, or press the appropriate number keys to select the  
correct year. Press E/PGM, the current month flashes.  
6. Press L or M, or press the appropriate number keys to select the  
correct month. Press E/PGM, the current day flashes.  
7. Press L or M, or press the appropriate number keys to select the  
correct day. Press E/PGM.  
To exit the clock setting mode, move the slide switch to Clock.  
Setting the Radio Controlled Clock Options  
The radio controlled clock attempts to receive the time at the top of every  
hour (e.g. 12:00, 1:00, 2:00 and so on) until it receives the time. While it  
is checking for the time, the dish icon (  
) flashes and the signal  
strength indicator appears to show the condition of the received NIST  
signal. When it has successfully received the time, the dish icon (  
)
will appear in the display. The dish remains steady for 24 hours from the  
last successful signal reception. Even with a good signal, it will take 2-5  
minutes to set the time from the NIST signal.  
Using the Radio Controlled Clock  
 
21  
The NIST signal is very weak, so might not from all parts of your house or  
at all times of day. Typically, reception is best at night and near a window.  
The time reception antenna is integrated into your scanner, and is not  
part of the AM or scanner antenna.  
Notes:  
• The antenna receives most strongly when the scanner keeps its left  
side facing to the source of waves, Fort Collins in Colorado.  
Computers and some light dimmers can generate signals that can  
interfere with the NIST signal. If this occurs, reposition the scanner away  
from these devices, or turn them off to remove the interfering signal.  
If the scanner is inside of a building that has a lot of metal, the time-  
setting signal will be blocked. Try positioning the scanner near a window.  
There are four atomic clock settings:  
• Time Zone  
• Daylight Savings Time  
• RCC (Radio Controlled Clock) On or Off  
• Signal RX  
Setting Your Time Zone  
1. Slide the TIME switch to Clock Set. The hours setting starts to flash,  
and the soft-key display changes to show the time-set functions.  
2. Press the TZ soft key. The first set of time zone selections appears.  
3. Press the soft key that corresponds to the time zone you are in. To see  
more options, press the NEXT or PREV soft key. Or, to set your time  
zone’s offset from UTC, use L or M.  
4. Once you have selected the correct setting, press E, then slide the  
TIME switch back to Clock.

TIME switch back to Clock.  
Forcing a Reception Attempt  
You can force the scanner to try to receive the NIST signal at any time.  
This is sometimes useful if you are trying to find the best position for the  
scanner and don’t want to wait until the beginning of the hour.  
1. Slide the TIME switch to Clock Set. The hours setting starts to flash,  
and the soft-key display changes to show the time-set functions.  
2. Press the RX soft key. The dish icon (  
) and RXicon starts to flash.  
3. Slide the TIME switch back to Clock. The scanner will attempt to  
receive the signal for 10 minutes. You can see the NIST signal strength  
by referring to the signal bars next to the dish icon. When the scanner  
successfully receives the time signal, the icon will stop flashing. If the  
scanner cannot receive the signal within 10 minutes, the icon turns off.

You can also enter the channel frequency using the keypad. Enter the  
channel frequency (for FM or AM) or the TV channel number.  
Using AM/FM/TV Channel Memory  
Your scanner has 30 AM/FM  
memories for quick channel recall  
MEM  
(10 for AM, 20 for FM/TV). To store a  
channel into memory, First press the  
soft key to select the desired band  
(AM, FM1 or FM2). Then, directly  
select the channel you want to store  
(see above). While listening to the channel, press and hold the number  
button that corresponds to the memory you want to save the channel into  
for 2 seconds. The scanner switches to the Memory mode for the current  
band.  
To quickly recall a channel, select the band, select the channel memory  
mode by pressing the MEM soft key, then tap the number button that  
corresponds to the memory where the channel is stored.  
Listening to AM/FM/TV Channels  
 
25  
Using All-Hazards  
Your BC370CRS’s All-Hazards function makes it one of the most powerful  
weather radio receivers built. It will activate on local broadcast of the  
standard EAS signal on NOAA (weather) channels, AM, FM, or TV  
Broadcast channels. Your scanner automatically monitors for an EAS  
alert on the last-tuned channel whenever you turn off the scanner.  
To ensure that you are alerted, be sure to set the MODE switch to  
Weather (if you receive alerts on standard NOAA channels), or to AM/FM  
and tune to the appropriate broadcast channel in your area.  
Limiting Alerts to Your County  
Alerts include a special digital signal called S.A.M.E. (specific area  
message encoding) that identifies the area impacted by an alert. This lets  
you set the scanner to ignore alerts that are not for your county,  
preventing many false alerts for storms that are in surrounding counties.  
You can store up to 4 county codes in your scanner and select one or  
more of them to receive alerts for.  
Programming County Codes  
Your scanner uses FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards)  
codes to identify counties. You can find the FIPS code for your area by  
going to:  
and looking up your county’s 6-digit code. Once you have the codes for  
the counties you are interested in, follow these steps to program them  
into the scanner.  
1. Slide the MODE switch to Weather.  
2. Press and hold the soft key for the FIPS position you want to program.  
After about 2 seconds, the display changes to show the current setting.  
3. Use the keypad to enter the code for that position, then press E/PGM.  
4. Tap the other FIPS keys and use the keypad to enter the codes you  
want to associate with each key.  
5. When you have programmed all FIPS codes, press the RTN soft key to  
return to normal weather mode.  
Using All-Hazards  
 
26  
Selecting Areas for Alerts  
To limit alerts to specific areas, in weather mode press the soft key for the  
area you want to turn on or off. Activated areas are reverse-printed in the  
display. Or, to receive alerts for all areas, press the ALL soft key to  
reverse-highlight that option.  
Note:  
If you don’t select an area, the scanner will never sound an alert.  
Receiving Alerts  
The scanner receives alerts even if it is in standby mode (power off).  
Select the appropriate weather, AM, FM, or TV broadcast channel. Then,  
power-off the scanner. The bottom line of the display will indicate the  
frequency the scanner is monitoring for alerts. If an alert is received, the  
scanner sounds an alert tone, then you hear the audio for the alert. The  
alert message summary is also displayed across the bottom of the  
display.  
During an alert, the terminals on the back of the scanner provide a switch  
closure to activate external sounders or strobes (optional). These can be  
easily controlled using an X10 PRO PowerFlash Interface (Model PSC01-  
Input Mode A). See the interface’s instructions for installation of such  
devices.  
Using All-Hazards  
 
27  
Using the Scanner Memories  
Your scanner has 300 memories you can  
store frequencies into for scanning.  
The memories are arranged in 10 banks of  
30 memories each. While scanning, you can  
quickly select which bank to scan by  
pressing the number button that corresponds  
to the bank you want to turn on or off for  
scanning. To select the scanner mode, slide  
the MODE switch to Scanner.  
Programming Memories  
You will first need to determine the frequencies you want to program.  
This varies widely depending on what you want to listen to and your  
geographic area. There are many frequency reference sources available  
on the internet that can get you started. One such source,  
http://www.radioreference.com, has a diverse listing of many conventional  
frequencies. You might also search for regional hobbyist sites that cover  
your area or check the database at the FCC’s General Menu  
(http://www.fcc.gov) for frequencies of interest.  
Make a list of the frequencies you want to program, then organize them in  
up to 10 groups of 10 or fewer and fill out the table below. It always helps  
to plan and organize what you want to do before you start, so don’t skip  
this important step. (The numbers in the left-hand columns below  
correspond to your scanner’s memory numbers.)

Once you fill out the above chart, follow these steps to enter or change a  
frequency in a memory:  
1. Press E/PGM to enter the program mode (the scanner turns on the  
PGMicon).  
2. If the current channel is not the one you want to program, enter the  
memory number then press HOLD.  
3. Enter the frequency including the decimal point, then press E/PGM.  
4. To program the next memory, press L or M and repeat step 3.  
To program a different memory, repeat from step 2.  
5. To exit program mode, press HOLD or SCAN or change the scanner’s  
mode.  
Notes:  
• Any frequency you program replaces the previous memory contents.  
• If you enter a frequency you have already stored in a different  
memory in Step 3, the scanner beeps and displays the channel  
where you have previously stored the frequency. If you want to store  
the frequency anyway, press E/PGM a second time in Step 3.  
To clear the contents of a memory, enter “0” in Step 3.  
• Channels you program are automatically unlocked (see “Locking/  
Unlocking Memories) and have Delay turned on (See “Setting  
Channel Delay”).  
Selecting a Memory  
To select a single memory to monitor, press HOLD. The scanner turns on  
the HOLDicon. Then, select a memory by pressing L or M to go to the  
memory or input the memory number then press HOLD.  
Using the Scanner Memories

Scanning Memory Banks  
To scan the memories you have programmed, press SCAN. The scanner  
scans all unlocked programmed memories in enabled memory banks,  
stopping on a memory when it detects a transmission. To turn on/off  
memory banks, while scanning press the number button that corresponds  
to the memory bank you want to enable or disable.  
Locking/Unlocking Memories  
You can lock memories so that they are not scanned, even if their bank is  
turned on. Simply press L/O when the scanner stops on a transmission  
on the frequency or manually select the memory (see page 30 for  
“Selecting a Memory” section), then press L/O. The scanner turns on the  
L/Oicon when it is set to a memory that is locked out.  
To unlock a memory, manually select the memory, then press L/O.  
The scanner turns off the L/Oicon and includes the memory when  
scanning its bank.  
To unlock all memories, press and hold L/O for 2 seconds, the scanner  
beeps twice and the L/Oicon disappears.  
Using Priority Scan  
You can set one memory in each bank as a priority memory. If you turn  
on the Priority feature, the scanner will check the priority memories in  
enabled banks every 2 seconds, even if it has stopped on a transmission  
on another memory.  
To set the memory in a bank to be the priority memory, manually select  
the memory then, while holding on the memory, press E/PGM to put the  
scanner in program mode and press PRI. The scanner turns on the PRI  
icon when it is stopped on a memory designated as priority.  
To turn on Priority Scan, press PRI while the scanner is scanning or  
holding on a memory (but not in program mode). You will notice a short  
break in audio every 2 seconds as the scanner checks the enabled  
priority memories. If there is a transmission on a priority memory, the  
scanner will immediately tune to that memory.  
Using the Scanner Memories  
 
31  
Setting Channel Delay  
You can set the scanner to pause for 2 seconds at the end of a  
transmission on a memory. This is useful to help prevent missed replies.  
Delay is turned on by default when you program a memory. To turn Delay  
off (or back on), first, select the channel. Then, press DELAY.  
The scanner reverses the DELAYicon for memories that have been  
programmed with delay.  
Using the Scanner Memories

Searching for Active Frequencies  
Many people enjoy searching for the unknown...frequencies that are in  
use in their area but are not posted to any site or in any publication.  
The BC370CRS has two ways to search: Limit searching that searches  
between two set frequencies and Service Searching that searches for  
specific types of agencies based on the FCC’s standard frequency  
allocation for such services.  
Using Limit Search  
Programming an Upper/Lower Limit  
Follow these steps to program an Upper and Lower limit for the limit  
search:  
1. Press SRCH soft key then HOLD. The scanner holds on the current  
search frequency.  
2. Enter one of the range limits, then press E/PGM.  
Press L or M, then enter the other range limit and press E/PGM.  
Searching the Selected Range  
After entering the limits (or use the default limits), press SRCH soft key.  
The scanner starts searching from the lower range up to the higher  
range. To change the direction of the search, press L or M.  
Using Service Search  
You can select any of Police, Fire/EMS, Aircraft Ham, and Marine  
channels for active frequencies in your area.  
Selecting a Service to Search  
Press SVC to enter the service search mode, then press the button  
corresponding to the service you want to search. When the scanner stops  
on a transmission, you can force it to resume searching by pressing  
L or M.  
Searching for Active Frequencies  
 
33  
Saving a Found Frequency into a Scan Memory  
When the scanner stops on the frequency you want to save, press HOLD  
to hold on that frequency. Then, press E/PGM. The scanner displays the  
lowest-numbered empty memory in the current bank (or the last-scanned  
memory if all memories are used). Use L or M to select the memory to  
hold the frequency, then press E/PGM to store the frequency into the  
memory.  
Search Lockouts  
If the scanner stops on a frequency that you don’t want to hear, you can  
lock it out. When locked out, the scanner won’t stop on the frequency in  
either Limit Search or Service Search.  
Simply press L/O when the scanner stops on the frequency to lock the  
frequency out. To unlock the frequency, during search press HOLD.  
Then manually step to the frequency using L or M. When you have  
selected the frequency, press L/O.  
If you press and hold L/O for 2 seconds, all the frequencies can be  
unlocked.

Listening to Weather Channels  
The scanner lets you easily listen to NOAA weather channels in use in  
your area. Simply slide the audio source selector to Weather.  
The scanner scans the preset weather frequencies and stops if it detects  
a transmission. If you want to check for another frequency in use in your  
area, press SCAN or press L or M.  
Seven NOAA weather channels are available across most of the US.  
To find out which channel is in use in your area, visit their web site at  
http://www.noaa.nws.gov. The scanner also includes three Canadian  
Coast Guard weather broadcast frequencies (numbered 8-10 in the  
scanner). Select one of these frequencies if they are in use in your area.

Care and Maintenance  
General Use  
• Turn the scanner off before disconnecting the power.  
• If memory is lost, simply reprogram each channel.  
• Always press each button firmly until you hear the entry tone for that  
key entry.  
Location  
• Do not use the scanner in high-moisture environments such as the  
kitchen or bathroom.  
• Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight or near heating elements or  
vents.  
• If the scanner receives strong interference or electrical noise, move it  
or its antenna away from the source of the noise. If possible, a higher  
elevation might provide better reception.  
• Also try changing the height or angle of the antenna.  
Cleaning  
• Disconnect the power to the unit before cleaning.  
• Clean the outside of the scanner with a mild detergent.  
To prevent scratches, do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.  
Be careful not to rub the LCD window.  
• Do not use excessive amounts of water.  
Repairs  
Do not attempt any repair. The scanner contains no user serviceable  
parts. Contact the Uniden Customer Service Center or take it to a  
qualified repair technician.  
Birdies  
All radios can receive “birdies” (undesired signals). If your scanner stops  
during Scan mode and no sound is heard, it might be receiving a birdie.  
Birdies are internally generated signals inherent in the electronics of the  
scanner. Press L/O to lock out the channel.  
Resetting the Scanner (Clearing all Memories)  
To reset the scanner to factory defaults, turn off the scanner. Then, while  
holding down 2, 9, and HOLD, turn on the scanner. All scanner memory  
contents are erased.
