Setting Up Your Scanner
These guidelines will help you install and set up your
new scanner:
• If your scanner receives interference or electrical
noise, move the scanner or its antenna away from
the source.
• To improve the scanner’s reception, use an
optional external antenna designed for multi-band
coverage. (You can purchase this type of antenna
at a local electronics store). If the optional antenna
has no cable, use 50-75
Ω
coaxial cable for
lead-in. A mating plug might be necessary for the
optional antennas.
• Use an optional mono earphone or mono headset
with proper impedance (32
Ω
) for private listening.
Read the precautions on the inside front cover of
this Owners Manual.
• Do not use the scanner in high-moisture
environments such as the kitchen or bathroom.
• Avoid placing the scanner in direct sunlight or near
heating elements or vents.
Using Internal Batteries
You can power your scanner using three alkaline or
rechargeable AA batteries.
Before installing batteries, set the switch in the battery
compartment to match the type of batteries you will
use. Select
ALKALINE
for non-rechargeable battery
types and
Ni-MH
for rechargeable battery types. See
also “Using Rechargeable Batteries” on Page 33 when
you use rechargeable batteries.
1. Remove the battery cover and set the battery
switch.
