BCD436HP Clock

[papadoc]

Recently I've been getting this when I turn my scanner on. I choose "E" and set the clock. That works until I turn the scanner off and back on. Then it's lost again. Any ideas why this is happening and what I can do to fix it?

Thanks. Sure hate to give up my scanner for 3 weeks, but if that's what it takes, then that's what I'll have to do.

just for the heck of it with the batteries in place, run the scanner on AC for at least 2-3 days non stop. That charges up the internal battery that runs the clock. Some folks have found a good charging restores the ability of the radio to retain the clock info. If not then you ARE going to have to send it in for a fix.

It is the only way to get it permanently repaired. Uniden identified and acknowledged the problem over 2 years ago:

Some units didn't start to exhibit the fault for as long as 2 or more years after purchase.

Mine started about 3 years after I bought mine. Sent it in, and it took a little over a week. They replaced a board and it's been great since. No cost to me.

That's good to hear. Hopefully it will only take a week for me once they send me the go ahead to ship it to them. I've had mine for 2 years and this is the first problem with it.
