Just got my SDS200 the other day and looking through the manual I saw something rather interesting. It said about removing the micro SD card, "Carefully remove the SD Card by removing the back cover, then removing the battery pack." Well, there is no back cover or battery. The micro SD card is in the front. Did they get this mixed up with the SDS 100?
SDS100/SDS200: What gives with the manual.

I think they are referencing the SDS100 handheld

FTM: REMOVING THE MICRO SD CARD Carefully remove the SD Card by removing the back cover, then removing the battery pack. Slightly press down and slide the SD card holder right, then lift out the card. Gently install the SD Card the same way it was removed.
that should be under the OOPs section of the manual...
the 'easy to read ' one got it right

The manual is setup for both the sds100 and sds200
Taking off the cover, is meant for the sds100.
The SD card slot for the sds200 is on the front.
No need to remove anything if you're using the sds200

Yes.
It's unlikely that the current SDS200 manual the OP is referring to is intentionally setup for both the sds100 and sds200, otherwise there would also be the correct instructions for removing the SD card from the SDS200 in that manual as well.... which there is not. There would also be many more instructions specific to the SDS100... which there are not. The term "SDS100" does not appear anywhere in that SDS200 manual.
There is a separate manual for the SDS100 linked below which has the info for removing it's SD card on page 52.
It's more likely that the paragraph about removing the SDS100 SD card was copied and pasted in error onto page 50 of the current Uniden SDS200 manual (copyrighted 2019 - linked in post #3 above) during production instead of the correct instructions for the SDS200. There is another incorrect section in the SDS200 specifications chart that describes battery consumption and charging temperature on page 46 that is obviously meant for the SDS100. And also on page 14 under the heading of "Controls and Indicators" it's describing the function of the red and green battery charge status LEDs above the display (exclusive to the SDS100), yet it clearly shows only the display for the SDS200.
The original Uniden SDS200 manual (copyrighted 2018) is still available online at the link below, and has the correct SD card info for the SDS200 on page 55 of that manual, and does not show info for battery consumption and charging temperature specifications that are not applicable for the SDS200. It also shows the correct "Controls and Indicators" section for the SDS200 on page 18.
There have been other discrepancies and omissions noted between those 2 versions of the SDS200 manual.

It's the same issues with Whistlers user manuals and the help files built into EZ-Scan, that there are references to things that only apply to a different scanner model that can't be used with that specific EZ-Scan version or user manual. It can be a bit confusing trying to understand whats going on when proof reading has gone wrong.
