Keep the scanner dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Use and store the scanner
only in normal temperature environments. Handle the scanner carefully: do not drop it.
Keep the scanner away from dust and dirt, and wipe it with a damp cloth occasionally to
keep it looking new.

LOCATION
! Do not use the scanner in high-moisture environments such as the kitchen or
bathroom.
! Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight or near heating elements or vents.
! If the scanner receives strong interference or electrical noise, move it or its antenna
away from the source of the noise. If possible, a higher elevation might provide
better reception.
! Also try changing the height or angle of the antenna.
CLEANING
! Clean the outside of the scanner with a mild detergent.
! To prevent scratches, do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Be careful not to rub
the LCD window.
! Do not use excessive amounts of water.
BIRDIES
All radios can receive “birdies” (undesired signals). If your scanner stops during Scan
mode and no sound is heard, it might be receiving a birdie.
Birdies are internally generated signals inherent in the electronics of the receiver.
