CONNECTING AN EXTENSION SPEAKER
In a noisy area, an extension speaker (not supplied) might provide more comfortable

Note: You must use an amplified speaker with this scanner. Non-amplified speakers do not
provide sufficient volume for comfortable listening.
ABOUT YOUR SCANNER
Once you understand a few simple terms used in this manual and familiarize yourself with
your scanner’s features, you can put the scanner to work for you. You simply determine the
type of communications you want to receive, then set the scanner to scan them.
A frequency is the receiving signal location (expressed in kHz or MHz). To find active
frequencies, you can use the search or tune function.
When you find a frequency, you can store it into a programmable memory location called a
channel, which is grouped with other channels in a channel-storage bank. You can then
scan the channel-storage banks to see if there is activity on the frequencies stored there.
Each time the scanner finds an active frequency, it stays on that channel until the
transmission ends.
