SETTING UP THE SCANNER
These guidelines will help you install and use your new scanner:
• If your scanner receives interference or electrical noise, move the
scanner or its antenna away from the source. You might also try changing
the height or angle of the antennas.
• Use an optional mono earphone or mono headset with proper impedance
for private listening.
• Do not use the scanner in high-moisture environments such as in the
kitchen or bathroom.
• Avoid placing the scanner in direct sunlight or near heating elements or
vents.
CONNECTING POWER
1. Insert the supplied AC Adapter’s
barrel plug into the power jack on the back of the scanner. Then plug the
Adapter into a standard household outlet that supplies 230V AC, 50Hz.
The scanner goes into Power Off mode and the clock displays.
#
Do not plug the adapter into a switch controlled outlet.
2. Open the battery compartment and insert 3 AA batteries.
Be sure to note the polarity markings in the
battery compartment. You can use either
alkaline or rechargeable batteries, but the
scanner will not recharge batteries in the
compartment.
• Use only fresh alkaline AA batteries.
Rechargeable batteries can be used, but battery
life is shorter than with alkaline batteries.
• Always remove old or weak batteries. Batteries
can leak chemicals that destroy electronic
circuits.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types
of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable)
or rechargeable batteries of different capacities.
#
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.
3. When you either install batteries or connect the AC Adapter to a standard
wall outlet, the scanner powers on and goes to
STANDBY
mode. The
display shows the initial clock time of 0:00. The scanner remains in
STANDBY
mode.
