Setting Up The Scanner
Note that the batteries are intended to provide backup power for the clock
and for scanning for a short time. When the backup batteries becomes too
low, appears. Promptly replace the batteries.
When you either install batteries or connect the AC Adapter to a standard
wall outlet, the scanner powers on and goes to STANDBY mode.
The display shows the initial clock time of 0:00. The scanner remains in
STANDBY mode.
Connecting an Antenna
The scanner uses an
external loop antenna to
receive AM broadcast
stations and an external
telescopic antenna to
receive all other signals.
Connect the supplied
rod antenna by pushing
the antenna’s connector
onto the antenna jack on
the back of the scanner
and twisting it to the desired angle. Connect the two wires from the loop
antenna to the AM RADIO ANT terminals on the back of the scanner.
* Carefully remove the tube inserted before using the AM
Antenna Jack. When the Jack is not in use, keep the
tube mounted.
You can also use an external antenna (not supplied) to help to bring in
weaker signals. Use RG58, 50-Ohm lead with a BNC connector to connect
the antenna to the scanner. Connect and mount the antenna according to
the instructions provided with the antenna.
CAUTION: Be sure to follow all safety warnings provided with the antenna.
Failure to do so could expose you to risk of injury or death and could
severely damage the scanner.
