The Basics
When deciding on an antenna and its location, consider the
following:
• The location of the antenna should be as high as possible.
• The antenna and antenna cable should be as far as
possible from sources of electrical noise (appliances,
other radios, and so on).
• The antenna should be vertical for the best performance.
Use extreme caution when installing or removing an
outdoor antenna. If the antenna starts to fall, let it go!
It could contact overhead power lines. If the antenna
touches a power line, touching 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.
connecting an external speaker
If you mount the scanner in your
dashboard or if you use it in a
noisy area, you may want to add
an external speaker (available at
your local RadioShack store) to
improve your ability to hear. Plug
the speaker cable’s 1/8 inch (3.5
mm) plug into your scanner’s
EXT SP jack.
Connecting an external speaker disconnects the
scanner’s internal speaker.
