Figure 6. Label Identifying Antenna Locations
2. Connect the GPS antenna (or input) to
the GPS SMA connector (4). An SMA
to SMB adapter is shipped in a bag
labeled OP225 with the SeeGull MX to
allow the OP034H SMB connector on
the GPS antenna to mate with the
SeeGull MX GPS port.
3. Connect the USB data connector (2)
to a PC USB port with the USB cable.
4. Connect the power cable to the
scanner
’s power connector (6) and to
the
vehicle’s cigarette lighter
adapter. Make sure to line up the
red dots on the cable and the
power connector.
5. Optionally, connect the ignition
sense wire, a wire on the power
cable which can be used to sense
power to your ignition. Refer
Section 2.3 for further details of
the ignitions sense feature. The
scanner will operate normally
whether or not the ignition sense
wire is used.
6. Turn the SeeGull MX scanner on
by moving the Indoor/Outdoor
switch (5) from the OFF position to
the INDOOR or ON position. ON
mode is used for normal outdoor
operation. INDOOR mode reduces
the fan noise emanating from the
scanner for indoor operation.
Future plans include reducing
power consumption for indoor
mode.
Note:
Refer to the Instructional
Guide:
SeeGull Antennas for MIMO
and MISO Antenna Schemes
for
further detail on connecting the
proper antenna type to the correct
antenna port.
