Re: How do i reset uniden bearcat bc355c. To factory...
SOME, of the Bearcat radios you could hold down the "2" and "9" button while turning it on - worked on the old units; I don't know about the newer ones.

Resetting the Scanner (Clearing all Memories)
To reset the scanner to factory defaults, turn off the scanner. Then, while holding down 2, 9, and HOLD, turn on the scanner. All scanner memory contents are erased.
The squelch control gets rid of the hissing on a blank channel. Finda blank channel, turn up the squelch control until the hissing stops. The scanner should then scan the channels and stop on a busy one.
The general reset is press 2-4-9 together while turning it on. The second way is to press an hold down the 2-9 together an turn on radio. Some go with 3 an some are just 2 numbers. Try this.
The BC355C is a factory-programmed scanner, and you cannot program it in the normal manner (entering frequencies via the keyboard). You can, however, transfer a displayed frequency in SEARCH or SCAN mode to your PRIVATE bank. Detailed instructions for doing this are in the factory manual that you can download and print, at no cost, here: http://www.uniden.com/pdf/BC355Com.pdf
You can find a comprehensive database of active frequencies in your area (they're not codes), and a lot of other useful scanning information, here: www.RadioReference.com
Sorry, but there is no such video that I know of. Besides that, your BC355C is not a programmable scanner in the standard sense, in that you cannot enter frequencies via the keyboard. You can, however, transfer a displayed frequency from the SCAN or SEARCH mode into the PRIVATE bank. Fairly simple instructions are in the factory manual that you can download and print, at no cost, here: http://www.uniden.com/pdf/BC355Com.pdf
Turn on the radio Press the "band" button Keep pressing the "band" button until you come within the parameters of the frequency that you want Let the radio scan until it gets close to the actual frequency that you're looking for Press the "hold" button and use the arrow "up" or "down" button till you lock in the correct frequency Once you have the frequency locked in, press the "program" button Press the "private" button The unused channel will be flashing Press the "program" button, this locks the frequency into that channel Continue this process until all of the frequencies are loaded into the radio
