FIRST THINGS FIRST
CONNECTING THE ANTENNA
Your scanner comes with two flexible
antennas for better reception. To
attach an antenna:
1. Line up the slots on the antenna
with the knobs of the antenna
receptor on the scanner.
2. Slip the antenna over the
knobs and twist until you
feel the antenna locks
into place.
OPTIONAL ANTENNAS
While the flexible antenna provides
satisfactory reception for local
signals, you can attach a multiband
outdoor antenna - not provided - for
even better reception.
Install the antenna according to its
instructions, then connect it to the
scanner via the ANT jack.
Do not place the cable on top of
sharp edges or near moving objects
place it as high as possible outside;
place it as far from any source of
electrical noise as possible; and make
sure the antenna is vertical at all
times. Use the shorter antenna for
lengths under 50 feet. Use the
normal antenna for lengths more
than 50 feet.
PRIVATE LISTENING
Your scanner has been equipped with
a PHONE jack to allow for private
listening. The use of headphones
(included) or an earphone (not
included) immediately suspends audio
output from the scanner’s main
speaker.
To use the headphone set:
1. Turn the volume knob on the
scanner to a 12
o’clock position.
2. Insert the plug of
the headphone set
into the PHONE jack
of the scanner.
3. Turn the volume
knob (on the
headphone set) towards MIN to
avoid a blast.
4. Put on the headphones and adjust
its volume knob to the desired
listening level.
You can use two headphones at a time:
1. Take the plug of the splitter cable
(included) and insert it into the
PHONE jack of the scanner.
2. Insert the plug of the headphone
set into one of the jacks of the
splitter cable.
3. Insert the plug of another
headphone set into the other jack
of the splitter cable.
