For Home Use (Desktop Installation)
1. Insert the DC plug end of the AC Adapter into the DC
13.8V jack on the rear panel.
2. Plug the AC Adapter into a standard 120V AC wall outlet.
3. Plug the Telescoping Antenna into the ANT connector.
Extend the antenna to its full height. For frequencies
higher than 406 MHz, shortening the antenna may improve
the reception.
4. Use the desktop stand for a better viewing and operating
angle.
Helpful Hints
• If strong interference or electrical noise is received, relocate
the scanner or its antenna away from the source.
• If you are operating the scanner in a fringe area or need to
improve reception, use an optional antenna designed for
multi-band coverage. (You can purchase this type of
antenna at a local electronics store.)
• If the optional antenna has no cable, use 50-70 ohm coaxial
cable for lead-in. A mating plug may be necessary for the
optional antennas.
For Mobile Use (In-Car Installation)
Installation for Temporary Use:
A Cigarette Lighter Power Cord is provided for easy,
temporary installation.
Warning: Do not use the cigarette lighter power cord in a
positive ground vehicle.
Plug one end of the Cigarette Lighter Power Cord into the
cigarette lighter jack and the other end into the DC 13.8V jack
on the back of the scanner.
