My better half purchased a Uniden Home Patrol 1 scanner in 2014.
I know very little about scanners and even less about programming them or managing them. This scanner was a gift and taken to a gentleman who programmed it. It worked wonderfully.
I had no problems with the scanner until last year around Spring/Early Summer, I believe that was the timeframe.
I started receiving an alert about the back-up battery needing recharged. I answered YES when it asked if I wanted to recharge the batteries. This was beginning of what has come to be a nightmare with this scanner. The alert question to recharge back-up batteries became more frequent. I tried replacing the batteries. This frequent alert kept appearing. I would like to get rid of that whole back-up battery option. Do not need it. Too much hassle when the scanner is working fine.
The other issue seems to be related. Every time that alert came up it seems the scanner would switch to a default setting for the scanner which was louder than we like. I am constantly getting up to say yes to recharge batteries and constantly turning volume down. Tried adjusting Audio AGC and other options but it seems that the scanner goes back to a default volume. This has been doing this for over 6 months.
Help, anybody....help!!! LOL. Please keep in layman’s terms. Nobody around here works on these scanners.
Thank you.
