Setting Up The Scanner
Note that the batteries are intended to provide backup power for the clock
and for scanning for a short time. When the backup batteries becomes too
low,
appears. Promptly replace the batteries.
When you either install batteries or connect the AC Adapter to a standard
Australia/New Zealand wall outlet, the scanner powers on and goes to
STANDBY
mode. The display shows the initial clock time of :00 AM.
The scanner remains in
STANDBY
mode.
Connecting an
Antenna
The scanner uses an
external loop antenna to
receive AM broadcast
stations and an external
telescopic antenna to
receive all other signals.
Connect the supplied rod
antenna by pushing the
antenna’s connector onto
the antenna jack on the back of the scanner and twisting it to the desired
angle. Connect the two wires from the loop antenna to the
AM RADIO
ANT
terminals on the back of the scanner.
* Carefully remove the tube inserted before using the AM
Antenna Jack. When the Jack is not in use, keep the
tube mounted.
You can also use an external antenna (not supplied) to help to bring
in weaker signals. Use RG58, 50-Ohm lead with a BNC connector to
connect the antenna to the scanner. Connect and mount the antenna
according to the instructions provided with the antenna.
