Setup
Connecting the Antenna
Toattachthesuppliedexibleantennatotheantenna
jackontopofyourscanner,aligntheslotsaroundthe
antenna’sconnectorwiththetabsontheantennajack.
Presstheantennadownoverthejackandturnthe
antenna’s base clockwise until it locks into place.
Connecting an Outdoor Antenna
To connect an externalantenna,followtheinstallation
instructionssuppliedwiththeantenna.Use50Ohm
coaxialcable,suchasRG-58orRG-8.Forlengthsover
50feet,useRG-8low-lossdielectriccoaxialcable.If
the antenna cable’s connector does not have a BNC
connector,youwillalsoneedaBNCadapter(availableat
your local RadioShackstore).
w Warning: Use extreme caution when installing or removing
an outdoor antenna. If the antenna starts to fall, let it go! It could
contact overhead power lines. If the antenna touches a power
line, touching the antenna, mast, cable, or guy wires can cause
electrocution and death. Call the power company to remove the
antenna. DO NOT attempt to do so yourself.
Connecting a Speaker or Headphones
Youcanpluganampliedspeakerorheadphones
(notsupplied)withÇinch(3.5mm)mini-plugintothe
HEADPHONEjackonthetopofthescanner.This
automatically disconnects the internal speaker.
Note:Useanampliedspeakerwiththisscanner.Non-
ampliedspeakersdonotprovidesucientvolumefor
comfortable listening.
Listening Safely
Toprotectyourhearing,followtheseguidelines:
• Donotlistenathighvolumelevels.Extendedhigh-
volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.
• Setthevolumetothelowestsetting.Thenturn
onyouraudiodeviceandadjustthevolumetoa
comfortable level.
• Avoidincreasingthevolume.Yourearswilladapt
tothevolumelevel,soalevelthatdoesnotcause
discomfort could still damage your hearing.
Using the Belt Clip
You can use the belt clip attached to the back of the scanner
for hands-free carrying when you are on the go. Slide the
beltclipoveryourbeltorwaistband.Toremovethebeltclip,
gently lift up the retaining catch at the top of the belt clip
from the back of radio and slide the clip upward.
