Setting Bandplan and Clock
To turn on your iScan, press the Power button.
When you turn on your iScan for the first time, use the four-
direction pad and
SEL
to set your bandplan, date, and time.
Antenna
Your iScan's durable antenna provides
excellent reception. Align its connector
with the iScan antenna post tabs, press
down and turn.
To connect a larger antenna, use a coax-
to-BNC adapter and 50-ohm coaxial cable
(RG-58, RG-8).*
Disconnect any outdoor antenna during
electrical storms to prevent damage.
External Power
Before starting, make sure the scanner is off.
Use the supplied shielded USB cable.
Some USB power adapters can interfere with
the scanner's reception. Using an incompatible
USB cable may damage your scanner.
Batteries
Always set the Battery Type:
• ALK
− Alkaline
•
NI-MH
− Rechargeable, Nickel-
Metal Hydride
Warning:
Never install alkaline batteries with the Battery
Type switch set to NI-MH. Alkaline batteries can get hot or
explode if you try to recharge them.
•
Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type.
Do not mix old and new batteries, different battery
types (alkaline or rechargeable), or rechargeable
batteries of different capacities.
•
Dispose of batteries promptly and properly; do not burn
or bury them.
•
For storage of a month or longer, remove the batteries.
Batteries can leak chemicals that can damage
electronic parts.
Recycle Rechargeable Batteries
Recycle your old rechargeable batteries at one of the
many collection sites in the U.S. and Canada. To find the
site nearest you, visit www.call2recycle.org or call toll-free
1-877-2-RECYCLE.
*To protect your hearing:
•
Set the volume to zero before putting on headphones. With the
headphones on, adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
•
Avoid increasing volume. Over time, your sensitivity decreases, so volume
levels that do not cause discomfort might damage your hearing.
•
Avoid or limit listening at high-volume levels. Prolonged exposure to high-
volume levels can cause permanent hearing loss.
Wearing headphones while operating a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle
can create a traffic hazard and is illegal in most areas. Even though some
headphones let you hear some outside sounds when listening at normal volume
levels, they still can present a traffic hazard. Exercise extreme caution!
