Follow the installation instructions supplied with the antenna, route the antenna cable to the
scanner, then connect it to the antenna jack.
Warning: Use extreme caution when you installing or removing an outdoor antenna. If the

a power line, contact with the antenna, mast, cable, or guy wires can cause electrocution

• Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high-volume listening can lead to
