Thursday, November 20, 2008 1 BC346XT The Complete Reference This document provides a complete reference to all menus, functions, and features of the BC346XT Handheld Trunk Tracker Scanner from Uniden. It is based on the Operation Specification that is used both as a guide to the software engineers for creating the scanners user interface and as a repository for the “final say” on how every feature and function is implemented. Some proprietary information has been removed, formatting has been modified, and extensive editing has been performed to make the text more readable. However, you will almost certainly find a handful of odd turns of phrases. Mostly, though, we hope that this reference work can help you better understand and use your BC346XT. This document isnt intended to be a guide for how to use your scanneryoull find that information in the Owners Manualbut rather a reference for all the things that the scanner does. Combined with the Owners Manual and the great resources available to scanner users online, you now have more information than ever on every facet of your scanner. 2009 Uniden Corporation Fort Worth, TX All Rights Reserved.
