Scanner Setup
Connecting the Antenna
Attach the supplied antenna
to the scanner by aligning the
slots around its base with the
tabs on the scanner, and then
slide into place.
To connect an external
antenna, follow the installation
instructions supplied with the
antenna. Use 50-ohm coaxial
cable, such as RG-58 or RG-
8X, to connect an outdoor
antenna. For lengths between
50 and 100 feet, use RG-8X
low-loss dielectric coaxial
cable. For lengths over 100
feet, use RG8. You also may
need a BNC adapter (available
at your local RadioShack
store).
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.
