Troubleshooting
If your BCT8 is not performing properly, try the following steps.
Problem Suggestion
1. Make sure you are scanning in Highway Mode.
2. Check antenna connections.
3. Conditions to activate the alarm are variable and depend upon the timing of
the dispatcher transmissions and proximity of patrol car to your vehicle. Also,
terrain and other factors may be involved.
4. Officer has the ability to turn off the mobile extender when off-duty, or when
going to court, etc., but will normally leave extender operating when on traffic
duty.
5. If youre monitoring user-programmed frequencies, switch to one of the
preprogrammed frequency banks.
6. Check to see if MUTE and FLASH are both turned off.
7. Some priority frequencies may be locked out.
1. Check the connections at both ends of the AC Adapter.
2. Turn ON the wall switch of your room. You could be using an outlet
controlled by the wall switch.
3. Move the AC Adapter to another wall outlet.
1. Check the antenna connection.
2. Move the scanner.
3. You may be in a remote area which could require an optional multi-band
antenna. Check with your dealer or local electronics store.
1. Adjust squelch threshold - refer to page 15, "Setting the Squelch".

correct.
