Scanner Setup
Connecting the Antenna
Attach the supplied antenna to the scanner by aligning the arrow
on its base with the tab on the scanner’s BNC connector and then
pressing into place.
When using an external antenna, always connect with 50-ohm,
RG-58, or RG-8 coaxial cable. If the antenna
is over 50 feet from the scanner, use
RG-8 low-loss dielectric coaxial
cable. If your antenna’s cable does
not have a BNC connector, your
local RadioShack store carries a
variety of BNC adapters.
Powering Your Scanner
Insert the supplied AC adapter’s barrel plug
into the power jack on the back of the scanner. Plug the adapter into a
standard household outlet that supplies 120V AC, 60Hz. Do not plug the
adapter into a switch-controlled outlet.
Installing Batteries
1. Remove the battery compartment cover.
2. Insert three AA batteries (not included) into the battery compartment,
matching the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside.
3. Replace the cover.
