Connecting the Antenna Plug
Connect the mobile antenna plug into the ANT connector on
the rear panel. (For more information on antenna installation,
please refer to the instruction guide that came with your
antenna.)
Mounting the Radio for Everyday Use
The BC350C can be mounted using the mounting bracket
(optional).
This bracket is available from the Uniden parts department
(see page 5)
1. Select an ideal location in your vehicle to mount the
BC350C. Avoid a location that could interfere with your
driving. In a passenger car, the ideal location is underneath
the dashboard on the passenger side.
2. Use the mounting bracket (optional) as a template for
marking the location of the mounting screws.
Note: If there are screws already holding the dashboard, you
can use the same screw holes to mount the bracket.
3. Drill the necessary holes and secure the mounting bracket
in place using the screws provided.
4. Mount the radio to the bracket only after the wiring has
been connected to the rear panel.
Connecting the Power Cord
Note: If you are not experienced in connecting accessories to
the vehicle fuse box, please see your automotive dealer for
advice on proper installation.
Installation for Everyday Use:
1. Check the vehicle battery connections to determine which
battery terminal (positive or negative) is grounded to the
engine block or chassis. Most of today’s vehicles use a
negative ground. If your vehicle has a negative ground,
follow Steps 2 and 3. Otherwise, skip to the note following
Step 3.
2. Connect the RED wire of the DC power cord to the
accessory contact in your vehicle’s +13.8 VDC fuse box.
3. Connect the BLACK wire of the DC power cord to the
negative side of the vehicle (usually the chassis).
Note: In vehicles with a positive ground, the RED wire
connects to the chassis and the BLACK wire connects to
the
accessory contact in the fuse box.
4. Insert the DC plug into the DC 13.8V jack on the back of
the scanner.
