To remove your scanner from
the DIN sleeve, insert the two
keys straight into the scanner’s
front panel and pull the
scanner out.
Connecting the Antenna
You must install an antenna
before you can operate
the scanner. The supplied
telescopic antenna helps
your scanner receive strong
local signals. To install the
antenna, align the antenna
slots with the tabs on the
scanner, and slide the
antenna into place. Turn
and push down until the
antenna locks into place.
To connect an external antenna, follow the installation instructions
supplied with the antenna. Use 50-ohm coaxial cable, such as RG-58
or RG-8X, to connect an outdoor antenna. For lengths between 50
and 100 feet, use RG-8X low-loss dielectric coaxial cable. For lengths
over 100 feet, use RG8.
You also may need a BNC adapter (not
supplied).
WARNING:
Use extreme caution when you installing or removing
an outdoor antenna. If the antenna starts to fall, let it go! It could
contact overhead power lines. If the antenna touches a power
line, contact with the antenna, mast, cable, or guy wires can cause
electrocution and death. Call the power company to remove the
antenna. DO NOT attempt to do so yourself.
