I have a manual for the BC200xlt in electronic format. It actually is
on my desktop publisher program Microsoft Publisher. If you happen to
have that program than it would work out great, if not, I think that
MS used to have a limited time version of this program downloadable
for review. Let me know what you think and I can e-mail it to you.

Operation
The BC 200XLT has 200 memory each of which can be programmed to store
one frequency. The channels are divided into 10 - 20 channel banks,
useful for storing similar frequencies in order to maintain faster
scanning cycles. When scan is pressed, each of the programmed
frequencies within a selected bank will be sampled for a transmission
(locked channels will be skipped) at the rate of about 15 channels per
second. If an active frequency is found the unit will stop and monitor
that frequency until there is no longer any activity. A two second
delay can be added to each channel and will allow the unit to monitor
the frequency for a return or continued transmission. If, after two
seconds, the frequency remains inactive, the scanning cycle will
resume.
When the unit is first turned on, each channel will contain "000.000".
When new frequencies are programmed, the old will be erased. If an
invalid frequency is entered, "Error" will be displayed and the old
frequency will return.
To operate the scanner make sure that the batteries are charged or
power is correctly connected to the unit. Turn the volume control on
and adjust the desired level. Adjust the squelch by turning the knob
fully clockwise until a rushing sound is heard. Turn the knob back
until the receiver is silent After the channels have boon programmed,
operation is simple. Press the scan key to scan all the channels While
the receiver is scanning channels pressing one of the number keys will
turn a bank of 20 channels on or off. The black lines at the top of
the LCD display show you which banks are selected. If a bank is
already selected (shown by a black line under the bank number)
pressing the corresponding button will deselect that bank Press the
manual key to stop scanning. Repeatedly pressing the manual key will
step through the channels in order. -
LCD Display
The BC 200XLT has a backlit display which shows the current channel
and frequency as well as other operational modes. When the unit is
scanning, the channel number will rapidly advance while the frequency
display will go blank. When the scanner is stopped the current channel
and fre-quency will again be displayed. When frequencies are
programmed the display will show the digits as they are entered. The
display win also shred "PRI" when the priority mode is on, "L/O"
when-ever a channel appears that has been locked out, and "DLY"
whenever a channel has been pro-grammed for delay. Across the top of
the display a series of dashes under the numbers 1-10 will be present.
These are the bank indicator numbers. These are selected or deselected
during the scan sequence by the use of the numeric pad.
Programming
To program a frequency into a channel, press the digits of that
frequency including the decimal point and then, press the enter key.
If an invalid fre-quency is entered, the display will show "Error". To
change a frequency enter the new one and the old one will be erased.
To program 162.550 into channel 2: Press 2MAN Press 162.550E
To program 471.2375 into channel 7: Press 7MAN Press 471.2375E
Multiple Entries - When you press the E" key to enter the same
frequency in a different channel the LCD will show the channel number
of the current frequency "Ch 45". If you want to repeat that
frequency in the new channel press the "E" key again. That frequency
will now be programmed in both channels. You can repeat a frequency as
many times as desired.
Features
The following b a brief description of the opera-tional features of
the BC 200XLT.
Manual Channel Selection - To manually select a channel press the
manual key repeatedly until the desired channel Rumba appears in the
display. If you have deselected any of the banks h will be impossible
to access any of those chancels manually until you have selected the
particular bank in which your channel exists. Press and hold the
manual key to rapidly step through the channels.
or
Press the channel number you wish to access, then press the manual
key. The scanner will automatically advance to the desired channel
regardless of the bank status.
Lockout - Select the channel to be skipped. Press the lockout key. The
lockout indicator win appear in the display whenever that chanted also
appears. To take lockout off press the lockout key on that channel.
Note: If priority is selected, channel 1 will not be able to be locked
out. All other priority chanced may be locked out.
Priority - When it is important to keep track of the activity on one
frequency white listening to others, the priority function should be
used. Program the important frequency into the first chanted of any
bank. Press the priority key to activate the priority function. Every
2 seconds the unit will check the first channel of all selected banks
for activity (the priority indicator will appear in the display). If a
transmission is found the unit will monitor that channel. If no signal
is found, the unit will return to the previous channel and function.
Press the priority key again to turn off the priority function.
Search - Use the search mode to look for new active frequencies within
the bands of your scanner.
Enter the lower limit frequency on the keypad and press the limit key;
Enter the higher limit frequency and press the limit key again;
These two frequencies set the range that the Unit will search. Press
the search key to start searching. If an active frequency is found the
scanner stop to monitor the signal. Press the hold key to hold the
search on the frequency. Press the hold key again to step up to the
next frequency or press the limit key to step down to the previous
frequency. If you press and hold down either the Hold or Limit keys,
you will rapidly step through the search fre-quencies. (Step up with
the Hold key, and step down with the Limit key.) When the signal stops
or if you press the search key, the unit will continue search-ing.
Press the manual key to leave the search mode.
Low Battery Indicator The BC 200XLT has a low battery indicator to let
you know when your battery needs to be re-charged. When the BATT
indicator on the LCD display starts to blink, it means that the
battery pack needs to be charged. After the low battery in-dicator has
been blinking for about ten minutes, the scanner will shut itself off
to prevent the batteries from becoming completely discharged. See the
section of this manual on Battery Maintenance for more information.
