The supplied antenna is usually adequate for strong local signals.
However, for the best results, you can attach a multi-band outdoor antenna
(such as Cat. No. 20-013) to the scanner. If the coaxial cable's connector
does not fit the ANT jack, you might also need an adapter. Your local
Radio Shack store sells a complete line of outdoor antennas, adapters, and
connectors.
For the best performance, consider the following when deciding on an
outdoor base antenna and its location:
The location of the antenna should be as high as possible.
The antenna and antenna cable should be as far away as possible from
sources of electrical noise (appliances, other radios, and so on).
The antenna should be vertical.
Mount the antenna following the instructions supplied with the antenna
and its mounting hardware. Then route the antenna cable to the scanner,
and connect it to ANT on top of the scanner.
CAUTION: Do not route the cable over sharp edges or moving objects.
NOTE: Always use 50-ohm coaxial cable to connect an outdoor antenna.
For lengths under 50 feet, use RG58 (Cat. No. 278-1314) or RG8/M
(Cat. No. 278-1313).
For lengths over 50 feet, use RG-8, low-loss coaxial cable (Cat. No.
278-1312).
RESETTING THE SCANNER
When you first install the scanner's batteries, or when they are removed
for an extended period of time, the scanner's display might lock-up. If
this happens, try resetting the scanner.
CAUTION: Since this procedure clears all the information programmed into
the scanner, use it only when you are sure the scanner is not
working properly.
Follow these steps to reset the scanner.
1. If the scanner is on, turn VOLUME OFF/MAX counterclockwise until it
clicks to turn it off.
2. While you hold down both CLEAR and 0, turn VOLUME OFF/MAX clockwise
until it clicks to turn on the scanner.
CONNECTING AN EARPHONE
For private listening, you can plug an optional earphone (such as Cat.
No. 33-175) into the headphone jack on top of your scanner. Connecting an
earphone automatically disconnects the internal speaker.
NOTE: In a noisy area, monaural headphones (such as Cat. No. 20-210)
might provide more comfortable listening.
Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use an earphone.
Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening. After
