Introduct i on The BC 235XLT is a brand new state-of-the-art information radio with automatic scanning capabilities. It can store frequencies such as police, fire/emergency, marine, air, amateur, and other communications into 10 banks of 30 channels each.
Types of Communications Monitor communications such as: Police and fire department (including rescue and paramedics) NOAA weather broadcasts (preprogrammed channels) Business/industrial radio Motion p.
Feature Highlig hts 30 Channels – Program one frequency into each channel. You must have at least one channel programmed to use the Scan mode. 29 MHz-512 MHz – Search these frequency ranges with your scanner. (The frequency coverage is not totally continuous from 29 MHz to 512 MHz.
Where to Obtain More Info r mati o n Before using your scanner, you must program frequencies into available channels. The Betty Bearcat Starter Frequency Guide lists typical frequencies used around the U.S.A. and Canada that you may program into your new scanner.

3. Replace cover and press down until it clicks into place. Warning: Do not mix alkaline batteries with Ni-Cd Batteries. Be sure to install four batteries of the same type. AC Adapter/Charger Use the AC Adapter/Charger to power the BC 235XLT from an AC outlet.
Adapter Safety Feature The AC Adapter included with this scanner may be equipped with a polarized line plug — a plug with one blade wider than the other. This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug.
Basic Operation Note: You can fold out the Front Cover to see the Controls and Indicators while reading this Guide. Setting the Squelch To set the Squelch, you must be in the Manual Mode. No signal should be present when adjusting squelch. 1. Press M until you do not hear a signal.
4. Turn SQUELCH fully clockwise until you hear a hiss. This lowers the “Squelch Gate” so that everything gets through—noise, weak signals, and strong signals. 5. Turn SQUELCH back counter-clockwise just until the hiss stops. Now the “Squelch Gate” allows only strong signals through.
Keylock Key Lock prevents accidental key entries during scanning. 1. To lock the keypad, press and hold K until the key symbol appears. 2. To unlock the keypad, press and hold K until the key symbol disappears.
Pro gramm in g Before the BC 235XLT can receive radio broadcasts, you must program a frequency into at least one channel. Before scanning, repeat this procedure for each channel you program. 1. Select frequencies from your starter guide. 2. Press M . 3.
4. Enter the frequency. a. Enter the frequency number. b. Then press E . Note: To clear a mistake while entering the frequency, press B twice, and start over. If the frequency entered is outside the Frequency Range of the scanner, a distinctive beep sounds.
Programming Tips Do not program a weather frequency into one of the channels, since weather channels transmit continuously. Use for weather information. Group similar frequencies into adjacent channels. For example, program police frequencies in channels 1 through 10 and fire/emergency into channels 11 through 20, and so on.
Scanning When you turn on the power, the BC 235XLT automatically starts in the Scan mode. During normal scanning the scanner skips unprogrammed or locked out channels. When a transmission is received, the Scanner stops on that channel. When the transmission ends, scanning resumes automatically after two seconds.
Channel Lockout You can lockout any channel so it is not reviewed during normal scanning. You can restore the channel to scanning whenever you wish. Lockout in Manual Mode 1. Press . 2. Select a channel. a. Enter the channel number. b. Then press again.
Locking a Channel While Scanning If the scanner keeps stopping on a particular channel due to noise or too frequent transmissions, you may want to keep that channel from scanning.
Restore a Locked Out Channel 1. Press . 2. Select a locked out channel. a. Enter the channel number. b. Then press again. 3. Press to unlock the channel.
Restore All Locked-out Channels 1. Press . Note: You must be in Manual Mode before restoring all locked-out channels. 2. Press and hold for about two seconds.
Priority Scan When Priority Scan is turned on, your scanner checks the priority channel every two seconds for activity. If a signal is present on the priority channel, your scanner monitors the channel until the transmission ends, then resumes normal scanning.
Changing the Priority Channel You cannot eliminate the Priority Channel, but you can change it to any other of the 30 available channels. 1. Press . 2. Select a new Priority Channel. a. Enter the channel number. b. Then press again. 3. Press and hold for two seconds to designate this channel as your new Priority Channel.
Chain Search Use Chain Search to find active frequencies in your area. You can search up to all five personal bands or turn off those bands you don’t want to hear. This gives you flexibility of searchin g for any channel between 29 and 512 MHz, as long as they are within the 10 frequencies bands covered by the BC60XLT-1 .
To program a frequency range into one of the five personal Chain Search bands, follow these steps: 1. Press s until the search location you want appears in the display. 2. Enter lower limit of the search band. a. Enter the frequency number. b. Then press E .
Note: The display alternates between the upper and lower ranges. If you program the wrong limit, press 0 and E , then press 0 and E again to erase the error and reset the limits to zero. Then begin again. 4. Either press R to begin your search. Note: Your scanner searches each selected Personal Chain Search band.
5. To turn off a Chain Search band during search scanning, press its location number. For example, (a) if Chain Search locations 1 , 2 and 3 are selected, (b) press 3 to turn off band three so that it’s not scanned during your search. Search Hold Feature 1.
Channel Skip If a particular channel continues to interrupt search scanning, it is possible to set your scanner to skip the frequency. If your scanner stops while searching, press N to lockout the frequency from the search range. Note: You can program 10 skip frequencies.
1. Press M . 2. Select a channel. a. Enter the channel number. b. Then press M again. 3. Select one or more of the personal search bands. For example, select CHAIN 2 . Note: These frequencies were used during “Setting a Search Range,” on page 23. 4.
Note: After this step you are in Search Hold mode. Press R to resume scanning. 6. Press E to store the frequency in the channel you selected. Note: After this step you are in manual mode. Repeat steps 2 through 6 for all the Search frequencies you want to store.
Weather Scan Your BC60XLT-1 is designed to scan 7 programmed NOAA frequencies, so you easily find your local NOAA weather broadcast. Note: It is not advisable to program a weather frequency into one of the 30 channels since weather channels transmit continuously.
Care an d Maintenance General Use Turn the scanner off before disconnecting the power or replacing the batteries. Always write down the programmed frequencies in the event of memory loss. If memory is lost, simply reprogram each channel. The display shows 000.
