A firmware update and user manual is here: http://www.scannermaster.com/Uniden_Bearcat_BC_RH96_Remote_Head_p/10-691108.htm
Another user guide here: http://www.retrevo.com/support/Uniden-BC-RH96-Scanners-manual/id/3145dj990/t/2/
Firmware seems hard to come by so hopefully the link above has a newer version if it available.
