2. Press the antenna down over the jack and turn the
antenna’s base clockwise until it locks into place.
Connecting an Optional Antenna
The ANT jack on the top of the scanner makes it easy to use
the scanner with a variety of antennas. Instead of the supplied
antenna, you can attach a different one, such as an external
mobile antenna or outdoor base station antenna.
Follow the installation instructions supplied with the antenna,
route the antenna cable to the scanner, then connect it to the
ANT jack.
Warning: Use extreme caution when installing or removing an
outdoor base station antenna. If the antenna starts to fall, let it
go! It could contact overhead power lines, if the antenna tou-
ches 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.
USING THE BELT CLIP
You can use the belt clip for hands-free carrying when you are
on the go. Simply slide the belt clip over your belt or waist-
band.
CONNECTING AN EARPHONE/HEADPHONES
For private listening, you can plug a mono or stereo earphone/
headphone with a 3.5 mm plug into the PHONE jack on top of
your scanner. This disconnects the internal speaker.
Caution: To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when
you use an earphone or headphones:
· Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high-
volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.
· Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over time, your
ears adapt to the volume level, so a volume level that does not
cause discomfort might still damage your hearing.
Warning: Do not use an earphone or headphones with your
scanner when operating a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle, in
or near traffic. Doing so can create a traffic hazard and could
be illegal in some areas.
