OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The purpose of this section is to allow you to start listening to your new
scanner as soon as possible. Read and carefully follow these instructions.
1. | Unpack the unit from the carton (save the carton for possible future
use). Check your Bearcat 210 for shipping damage. If damage has oc-
curred, contact your dealer immediately.
2. Attach the power cord into the back of the radio and then into a 117
Vac 60Hz outlet. See later instructions for vehicular installation.
3. Screw antenna (clockwise) into radio.
4. Turn the unit ON by turning the VOLUME control clockwise approxi-
mately 1/3 of its rotation.
5. Adjust the “SQUELCH” control clockwise until you hear background
noise; then turn it back counter-clockwise until the noise disappears.
6. You are now ready to program frequencies into your receiver.
PROGRAMMING FREQUENCIES INTO RECEIVER
You can program your receiver to scan ten different frequencies — one for
each of the ten channels.
Press the key. The channel number will show on the left side
of the display panel.
Enter the frequency you wish to receive on that channel by pressing the
appropriate program keys including decimal point key. Then, press the [E]
(enter) key.
EXAMPLES
Manually step to desired channel
PRESS:
For: 35.400MHz
PRESS: [3] [5] CJ 4] (€]
Read: 35.400
PRESS: (step to next channel)
For: 471.1375MHz
PRESS: [4] 7] (JE GJ (3! @) 5) El
Read: 471.137 (3-place round-off)
In case of a mistake on one channel
PRESS: [E] (then program correct number)
If you attempt to program a frequency that is outside the tuning range of
the receiver, an “E” (error) appears on the display. If this happens, simply
enter a new frequency.
NOTE: Be certain to make a record of the frequencies you have programmed
in case of accidental erasure. Always turn the receiver OFF with the
front panel Vol/ON/OFF control before plugging or unplugging the
power cord. Failure to follow this procedure may result in loss of
one or two programmed frequencies.
LOCKOUT
You may wish to program a continuous broadcast frequency (such as NOAA
weather) into the receiver but lock it out of automatic scanning.
To lockout PRESS: (step to that channel)
PRESS: (minus sign appears by frequency)
To “restore” PRESS: again. (minus sign disappears).
SCAN DELAY
The BC 210 may be programmed to pause for about two seconds after a
transmission on any selected channel. This is useful when both sides of a con-
versation are transmitted on the same frequency.
PRESS: (step to that channel)
PRESS: ( ( symbol appears at channel
number).
To remove delay PRESS: again. (symbol disappears).
For scan delay
NOTE: If radio is turned OFF, programmed LOCKOUT and DELAY are
automatically removed.
SEARCH
SEARCH is used for finding activity on unknown frequencies. Manually step
to the channel you want to use. Record that frequency as it will be erased
when SEARCH begins. Follow example.
To search from 146.500MHz to 146.950MHz
PRESS: (step to channel you want to use)
PRESS: [4] [4] [6] [_] [5] [tower ]
[1] [4] [e] L-] [9] [6] [Yeper | [Start]
When searching stops on a frequency
To move on PRESS:
To stay on that signal PRESS:
To store that frequency in that channel
PRESS: (you are now on next channel)
For same search range on this channel
PRESS: [Start]
To search between new limits, repeat above.
If an “E” appears in place of a frequency
1. An out-of-band frequency was attempted, or
2. Search limits were not in the same band.
SEARCH (Con't.)
The SEARCH feature opens up a whole new world of discovery. The following
user hints are offered to help you gain the maximum enjoyment from your
new radio.
First, search a small segment of frequencies at a time. This will increase the
speed of finding a new frequency which might be on the air intermittently.
The SEARCH mode may be used to “scan” a large number of channels. For
example the 45 channel Marine Band (156.275-157.425 MHz) may be scanned
by setting the proper limits and using the SEARCH mode. This same method
may also be used to search 2 meter Ham Band (146.000-148.000MHz) or a
portion of the telephone channels (152.480-152.840 MHz).
Because of the complex way in which the Bearcat 210 operates, some internal
signals are generated which may interfere with reception of some frequencies.
These interferences are called “birdies.” They exist in most radios but are
noticed more in the BC-210 because it finds them like it finds other signals,
wherever they may be. If one of these birdies is encountered in SEARCH, the
SEARCH will halt each time that frequency is encountered. You must press
the Start button to continue searching. Sometimes it is possible to set the
search limits to avoid these frequencies. A list of some of them will be found
on page 9 of this manual.
Occasionally a signal may be received at more than one indicated frequency,
or a signal may be received which is not even in the tuning range of the radio.
Like the birdies, these “spurious responses,” often from TV or FM stations,
are due to signal harmonics and the complex nature of the radio. Again, inter-
ference from these signals during SEARCH will be minimized if small segments
are searched.
TELEPHONE TONE SQUELCH
Ordinary scanners will stop on mobile telephone channels when the marker
tone is present. This 2 KHz tone marks the next channel in a service group
which will become active. Bearcat 210 has special circuitry to keep it from
remaining on this channel until it becomes active. A short beep will be heard
as the Bearcat 210 scans or searches past a marked channel. Other tones are
used to indicate off-hook, ringing and other conditions. These tones are not
bypassed because they indicate active channels.
SAFETY CAUTION
This is an electrical appliance and as such can be dangerous, if used improperly.
It has’ been listed by the Underwritérs’ Laboratories which sets standards
for safety; however, common sense and reasonable safety precautions must be
exercised. | 7 | .
Do not operate this unit while wet, standing in water or otherwise unusually
well grounded.
Always plug the AC cord into the radio first and then the AC outlet. Never
force a connector to fit improperly.
If you suspect a problem exists, return the unit to Electra Company. immediate- |
ly for inspection.
-MOBILE INSTALLATION
This receiver may be installed in any car, truck, boat, etc., having a 12 VOLT
NEGATIVE GROUND SYSTEM.
1. Using the mobile mounting bracket select a location under the dash to
| hold the Bearcat in the desired position.
2. . Mark and drill three mounting holes using a 7/64 drill bit. Secure the
bracket with the three no. 6 self- tapping screws included.
3. Insert the two plastic “T’’. washers in the bracket, flanges turned inward,
in the desired pair of mounting holes and secure the receiver in place with
the two %-20 bolts and two 4” ID x 9/16” OD flat washers.
4. Attach the enclosed DC power cable and, as indicated on rear of the
Bearcat, connect it to the “accessory” or “radio” terminal on the fuse
block of the vehicle. The ground screw adjacent to the +13.8 Vdc ter-
minal may be used if a good ground is not provided by the mounting
bracket. Using the enclosed connector attach one end to the ground ~
screw and the other to a metal part of the vehicle frame.
5S. An external mobile antenna should be used. The installation: of a mobile
antenna is similar to that described for the outside antenna but requires
mobile antenna mounting hardware. Also, the automotive antenna may
be used. It should be extended for L or H bands and reduced to approxi-
mately 18” for U bands.
The BC 210 is designed for excellent noise immunity, however, the noise
generated by some auto electrical systems and other parts of the car is often
a problem, particularly in areas of low signal strength. An automotive noise
suppression kit, available from most electronic stores, may be helpful.
In some areas it is illegal for unauthorized persons to receive police communi-
cations on a mobile receiver. The user of this radio is responsible for obtaining
any necessary authorization through local agencies. Electra Company cannot
be responsible for any illegal installation or usage.
EXTERNAL ANTENNA |
If an-outside antenna is necessary for fringe reception, you may.use an
“‘all-band” or “Tri-band” design for Low, High and UHF reception. Acceptable
results may also often be obtained on a 40MHz or 155MHz antenna. Such
antennas, available at most radio dealers, should be coupled to the receiver
external antenna jack by 50 ohm coaxial cable, such as RG-58 A/U, aaa the
supplied automotive type connector.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Bearcat 210 uses a small battery to power its memory circuit so that the
channel programming is maintained even when the radio is turned off and
power disconnected. This battery must be replaced when it becomes discharged
(memory fails) — probably about once per year.
To replace the battery, first record the frequency information in the 10
channels, since the receiver must be re-programmed after the battery is re-
placed. Next, turn off the radio and then disconnect the power cord. Remove
the telescoping antenna by unscrewing it and lifting it out of the cabinet.
Turn the receiver over and remove the two screws near the front bottom edge
of the cabinet. Turn the receiver right side up carefully and slide the steel
cabinet off. The battery is located slightly left of center on the circuit board
as viewed from the front.
BATTERY
REMOVE
THIS SCREW
Refer to the figure above. Remove the screw which holds the battery contact
and lift the contact away from the battery, then lift the battery up out of its
holder. |
Replace the battery with the positive (case) side down and the negative (button)
side up. Replace the contact, being careful not to make contact with the cir-
cuitry surrounding the battery. Do not over tighten battery retaining screw.
Replace the battery with an identical type (Mallory 10L123) only. Any other
battery may cause damage to the receiver.
Next, reassemble by replacing the cabinet and screws, antenna and power cord.
Now turn the receiver on and re-program the frequencies you had previously
recorded.
BIRDIES
Following is a list of frequencies which may be difficult or impossible to re-
ceive on the Bearcat 210. If programmed with one of these frequencies, the
receiver may be noisy on that channel or stop on that channel when no signal
is present. The degree to which your radio is affected will vary depending on
your location, the antenna you are using, and the other equipment operating
nearby.
If the interference is not severe, it may be possible to adjust the squelch con-
trol to eliminate the problem without excluding the desired communication.

USER HINTS
Radio equipment usually operates in an environment of man-made electro-
magnetic noise which radiates from power lines, fluorescent lights, motors, ap-
pliances, ignition systems, etc. Modern radios are designed to minimize inter-
ference from such sources but operation may be affected under conditions of
unusually strong noise.
Distant, weak, “skip” or noise signals may be received by this receiver because
of its high sensitivity. Whenever such conditions interrupt scanning or when-
ever a very busy channel prevents reception of other desired signals, the
affected channel may be bypassed by means of the lockout feature.
The BC 210 has high noise immunity because of the quieting squelch system.
However, in cases of strong interfering noise or signals, it may be desirable to
reduce the length of the antenna to reduce noise pickup below a critical level.
This may be very effective in medium and strong signal areas.
Continuous-carrier signals such as the NOAA weather broadcasts on 162.550,
162.475 or 162.400MHz, which are available in many areas, may be received
or locked out as desired by use of the individual channel lockout feature.
When moving or shipping the radio, remove the telescoping antenna to avoid
damage to it or to the internal circuit assemblies.

SERVICE
Determining Need for Service:
If your scanner doesn’t seem to be functioning properly:
is
2:
3.
10.
is
Be sure the radio is plugged into a working AC outlet.
Is it turned ON at Volume Control?
Rotate squelch full clockwise and turn volume full clockwise. You
should hear a loud hissing noise. If not, do not go to Step 4. Verify
that another appliance will work on that AC outlet.
If (3) occurs, rotate squelch counter-clockwise just until the noise
stops. Rotating it too far decreases the radio’s ability to hear.
Press [Scan |. The display should indicate a left-to-right scanning ac-
tion. (Rolling Zeros). If a signal occurs on a channel it should stop
scanning.
Press repetitively, stepping through the 10 channels verify-
ing that the frequencies are proper for your area.
Check that the telescoping antenna is properly installed.
Place the radio near a window (usually signals are stronger near
windows). Be certain there are signals in your area.
Leave the radio scanning 20 to 30 minutes. If nothing is heard by
that time, then something is probably wrong with the radio and you
should contact Electra Company.
When moving or shipping the radio, remove the telescoping antenna
to avoid damage to it or to the internal circuit assemblies.
It is strongly recommended that servicing of this receiver be done by
Electra Company. Special equipment and skills are maintained at the
factory to give fast and efficient service on all of our products. When
returning radio receivers to the factory for service, pack very carefully
and include a brief, concise description of the difficulty you are
having.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The electromagnetic (Radio) frequency spectrum is considered a natural resource and
the use and pollution of this publicly-owned communication medium is regulated by the
Federal Communications Commission. Channel allocation to various services and the
assignment, licensing and operational regulation of qualified users are all administered by
the F.C.C.
As few as a dozen or as many as 600 of these channels may be in use in your community.
Usage is mixed and changing. Some channels are shared — no complete list can be sup-
plied for your area only. You can learn about most of the active frequencies in your
area by searching with your BC 210. Conventional scanning monitor receivers can receive
only those frequencies for which you have purchased crystals. Your BC 210 can be pro-
grammed to receive any of them quicker than plugging in a crystal, and much quicker
than selecting crystals from a box of 6,000 expensive crystals.
The following is an approximate listing of some of the services covered by the Bearcat
210. More than 6,000 channels are included. Only the first and last frequency in each
group is shown.

In some large metropolitan areas, 1 or 2
channels of the “TV Band” (470MHz to 512
MHz) are used for communication purposes.
Each station (channels 14 through 20) utilizes
6MHz:
470-476 T.V.
476-482 T.V.
482-488 T.V.
488-494 T.V.
494-500 T.V.
500-506 T.V.
506-512 T.V.
Where these frequencies are assigned for
communication purposes, in lieu of a T.V. sta-
tion, the 6MHz segment is allocated as shown
here for channel 14 (470-476MHz).

The same allocation pattern is repeated for
each of the TV channels 14 thru 20. For
example, if channel 17 is assigned for communi-
cations in your area, ‘Taxi’ would be 490.3625
to 490.4375 and 493.3625 to 493.4375 (cor-
responding to 472.3625 to 472.4375 and 475.
3625 to 475.4375 above). Note that in the
example, we added three TV channels (18MHz)
to the channel 14 frequencies.
