store.
Cautions:
You must use a power source that supplies
9V DC and delivers at least 300 mA.
Its center tip must be set to negative and
its plug must fit the scanner’s DC 9V 300 mA
jack. Using an adapter that does not meet these
specifications could damage the scanner or the adapter.
• Always connect the DC adapter to the scanner before you connect it to the power source. When
you finish, disconnect the adapter from the power source before you disconnect it from the scanner.
• If batteries are installed, make sure the battery switch inside the battery compartment is set to the
correct position (see “Using Internal Batteries” on Page XX).
1. Turn
VOLUME/OFF counterclockwise until it clicks to make sure the power is turned off.
2. If the adapter has a voltage switch, set the switch to 9V.
3. Insert the Adaptaplug into the DC adapter’s cord so it reads TIP –. Insert the Adaptaplug into the
scanner’s
DC 9V 300 mA jack.
4. Plug the other end of the adapter into your vehicle’s cigarette-lighter socket.
If rechargeable batteries are installed and ALKALINE
JACK
NI-MH is set to NI-MH, the adapter powers the scanner and recharges the installed batteries at the
same time.
Note: If the scanner does not operate properly when you use a DC adapter, unplug the adapter from the
cigarette-lighter socket and clean the socket to remove ashes and debris.
CONNECTING THE ANTENNA
To attach the supplied flexible antenna to the connector on the top of your scanner, align the slots around the
antenna’s connector with the tabs on the scanner’s BNC connector. Then slide the antenna’s connector down
over the scanner’s connector and rotate the antenna connector’s outer ring clockwise until it locks into place.
Connecting an Optional Antenna
The scanner’s BNC connector makes it easy to connect a variety of optional antennas, including an external
mobile antenna or outdoor base station antenna. Your local RadioShack store sells a wide selection of
antennas.
Note: Always use 50-ohm, RG-58, or RG-8, coaxial cable to connect an outdoor antenna. If the antenna is over
50 feet from the scanner, use RG-8 low-loss dielectric coaxial cable. If your antenna’s cable does not have a
BNC connector, your local RadioShack store carries a variety of BNC adapters.
