There are two jacks located on the front of the receiver. The 3
connector jack is for an optional strobe attachment, and the 4
connector jack is for connecting an external antenna or external
antenna extension cable. Both receptacles are designed so that
each attachment will only plug into the correct jack.
The included external antenna can be used to both increase range
and more effectively pinpoint a transmitter’s location. To use it,
plug it into the antenna connector on the front end of the
receiver. You can also attach the extension cable, to increase the
cable length to the antenna. When the antenna is connected and
detected, the receiver will switch from the internal antenna to the
external one. The ANT light on the front panel will light up,
indicating that the receiver senses the external antenna and has
switched over.
WARNING:
This indicator will light up whenever an antenna is
plugged in and detected. It does not indicate that the antenna is
functional. It is possible for the antenna to be detected even if the
antenna is damaged and not able to receive a signal. Functional
tests to check a transmitter and receiver’s operation are always
recommended.
To connect the optional strobe attachment, simply plug it into the
front end panel, as you do with the external antenna. It is best to
check the operation of the strobe with a functional transmitter, to
make sure that it is connected properly and in working order. The
strobe will only flash when the 22Hz light is on and the buzzer
sounds on the receiver.
The backlight on the receiver, which backlights both the meter
and panel text will turn on automatically when the ambient light
becomes dim.
