Using AC Power
You can power the scanner using the supplied 6V, 500 mA
AC adapter. To use the scanner on AC power, plug the AC
adapter into the DC 6V socket on the side of the scanner
then plug the other end into a standard 230 V AC outlet.
If rechargeable batteries are installed without removing the
sticker, or, after removing,
REG. ALK. BATT./NI-MH BATT.
is set to
NI-MH BATT.
, the adapter powers the scanner and
recharges the installed batteries at the same time.
Connecting the Antenna
To attach the supplied stub antenna to the connector on the
top of your scanner, align the slots around the antenna's
connector with the tabs on the scanner's BNC connector.
Then slide the antenna's connector down over the scanner's
connector and rotate the antenna connector's outer ring
clockwise until it locks into place.
The smaller antenna is designed for higher frequency
ranges, While the longer antenna is optimized for the 4 m
and 2 m Band.
Connecting an Outdoor Antenna
The scanner's BNC connector makes it easy to connect a
variety of optional antennas, including an external mobile
antenna or outdoor base station antenna.
Note:
Always use antenna cable of the same impedance,
for example 50-Ohm, RG-58, or RG-213 coaxial cable to
connect an outdoor antenna. If the antenna cable is over 15
meters long, use RG-213 low-loss (or better) coaxial cable.
You can get a BNC adapter suitable for Your antenna cable
from your local electronic distributor.
Connecting an Earphone/Headphone
For private listening, you can use the supplied headphone
or can plug any other 3.5 mm mini-plug earphone (not
supplied) into the headphone jack on top of your scanner.
This automatically disconnects the internal speaker.
See “Earphone Warning” at the front of the manual for
important information about using an earphone/ headphone.
Connecting an Extension Speaker
In a noisy area, an optional amplified extension speaker,
positioned in the right place, might provide more
comfortable listening. Plug the speaker cable's 3.5-mm plug
into your scanner's jack. We recommend to use a standard
external PC speaker as extension speaker, because these
speakers have exactly the amplifier needed for this purpose.
Speakers can be mono or stereo as well (in case of stereo
both speakers get the same signal).
