1. Turn off the scanner by turning VOLUME fully counterclockwise.
2. While you press and hold down the 2 and 9 keys, turn on the
scanner by turning VOLUME clockwise.
Connecting an Optional Antenna
The antenna connector on your scanner makes it easy to use with a
variety of antennas, such as an external mobile antenna or outdoor
base antenna. Your local Tandy/Racfio Shack store sells a variety of
antennas.
Use coaxial cable to connect an outdoor antenna, Always use 50-ohm
coaxial cable, such as RG-58 or RG-8/M. For lengths over 50 feet, use
RG-0 low-loss dielectric coaxial cable. You might also need a BNC
connector (not supplied) to connect an optional antenna.
Warning: When installing or removing an outdoor antenna, follow all
cautions and warnings included with the antenna.

CONNECTING THE ANTENNA
Follow these steps to attach the supplied flexible antenna to the con¬
nector on top of your scanner.
1. Slip the slots in the antenna connector over the tabs on the jack.
2. Press down and rotate the antenna's base clockwise until it locks
into place.
For private listening, plug an earphone (not supplied) or mono headset
(not supplied) into the A Jack on top of your scanner. This automati¬
cally disconnects the internal speaker.
Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use an ear¬
phone or headphones:
• Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended hlgh-vol-
ume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.
• Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening.
After you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable
level.
• Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over time, your ears
adapt to the volume level, so a volume level that does not cause
discomfort might still damage your hearing.
