Connecting the Antenna
To connect an external antenna, always follow 
the installation instructions supplied with the 
antenna. Use 50-ohm, RG-58, or RG-8, coaxial 
cable. If the antenna is over 50 feet from the 
scanner, use RG-8 low-loss dielectric coaxial 
cable. If necessary, RadioShack carries a variety 
of adapters. 
To attach the supplied 
antenna:
1.  Align the antenna 
slots with the 
tabs on the 
scanner, and slide 
the antenna into 
place.
2.  Turn while pushing 
down until the 
antenna locks into 
place.
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.
Attaching the Belt Clip
To carry your scanner, slide the 
supplied belt clip down on the back 
of the scanner. To remove the belt 
clip, pull the tab out and slide the 
clip upward.
