Setting Up Your Scanner
These guidelines will help you install and set up your new scanner:
The BCD996T can be placed on a convenient surface in your home as a base station, and connected to a standard outlet that
supplies 120VAC, 60Hz. You must use either the supplied antenna or an electrically correct outdoor antenna, properly and safely
mounted at your chosen site.
The scanner is also designed to accommodate the DIN-E and ISO-DIN automotive mounting configurations. A DIN-E sleeve is
supplied.
The unit can also be placed above or beneath the dash of your vehicle using the supplied bracket and mounting hardware.
• If your scanner receives interference or electrical noise, move the scanner or its antenna away from the source.
• To improve the scanner’s reception, use an optional external antenna designed for multi-band coverage. (You can purchase
this type of antenna at a local electronics store). If the optional antenna has no cable, use 50-75 Ω coaxial cable for lead-in.
A mating plug might be necessary for the optional antennas.
• Use an optional mono earphone or mono headset with proper impedance (32 Ω) for private listening. Read the precautions
on the inside front cover of this Owners Manual.
• Do not use the scanner in high-moisture environments such as the kitchen or bathroom.
• Avoid placing the scanner in direct sunlight or near heating elements or vents.
Base Station
This is the simplest approach to let you get started quickly. Decide on a location that is convenient to a nearby wall outlet, has desk
space to let you complete your programming worksheets, will safely allow the indoor antenna to be extended, or near a window to
use an outdoor antenna.
